THIRD PILLAR OF ISLAM - ZAKAAH AND SADAQAH (Alms)
(ZAKAAH (Poor-due) IS GIVEN AWAY BY THE MUSLIMS @ 2½ %
(yearly)
ON NET PROPERTY ESPECIALLY
IN THE MONTH OF ZI-QA’D)
42. Sayyidina
Jabir (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone has paid Zakaah against his
wealth then evil is distanced from it. (Tabaraani, Targheeb)
43. Sayyidina
Hasan (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Protect your wealth through Zakaah, treat your sick patients through Sadaqah
and face the turmoil of difficulties through supplications and heartfelt pleas
to Allah. (Marassel, Abu Dawood, Targheeb)
44. Sayyidina
Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If a person to whom Allah has given property does not pay Zakaah, his property
will come to him on the Day of Resurrection as a bald snake with two black
spots over its eyes. The snake will be put round this person’s neck and it will
seize his jaws and say, “I am your property, I am your treasure.” (Bukhari,
Muslim, Targheeb)
45. Sayyidina
Anas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
On the Day of Resurrection, the rich will suffer much on account of the poor.
The poor will say, “O Lord! You had imposed certain rights for us on these
wealthy people but they oppressed us on account of that.” So, Allah will tell
them, “By My Honour and Glory! I will draw you near (My Mercy) and distance
them.” (Tabarani, Targheeb)
46. Sayyidina
Buraydah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If a people stop paying Zakaah, Allah causes them to suffer famine. (Tabarani,
Targheeb)
47. Sayyidah
Asma’ bint Yazid (Radi-ALLAHO-An-haa)
If a woman wears on her neck a golden necklace (not paying Zakaah on it) then,
on the Day of Resurrection, she will be made to wear a similar necklace made of
fire. And, if a woman wears an ear-ring of gold (not paying Zakaah on it) then,
on the Day of Resurrection, she will be made to wear a similar ear-ring made of
fire. (Abu Dawood, Nasa’i, Targheeb)
48. Sayyidina
Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
A man says often, “This is my property, my wealth.” In spite of that he only
has three portions in his wealth:
·
One of it he consumes and thus finishes it.
·
Another he clothes himself and wears out.
·
And the third stores (for his Hereafter by giving to the needy)
Anything
beyond that will pass away from him and will go to other people. (Muslim,
Targheeb)
49. Sayyidina
Abu Kabsha Anmaari (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
I can affirm three things on oath:
·
Sadaqah does not reduce anyone’s wealth.
·
If anyone is oppressed and he faces it with patience then Allah
causes him to increase in honour.
·
And, if anyone begins to beg (of men) then Allah opens the door
of poverty on him.(Tabarani, Targheeb)
50. Sayyidina
‘Amr bin ‘Awf (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The Sadaqah paid by a Muslim prolongs his life and protects him from painful
death. Allah removes from him pride and arrogance.
(Tabarani,
Targheeb)
51. Sayyidina
Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
One dirham overtook one hundred thousand dirhams.
Someone asked; “How’s that, Messenger of Allah? (Peace Be upon Him)
He said; “Someone had much property out of which he gave away a hundred
thousand dirhams in Sadaqah but another person had two dirhams out of which he
gave away one dirham in Sadaqah. (Nasa’i, Targheeb)
52. Sayyidina
Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The best Sadaqah is one that leaves the giver independent (that is, after
paying it the giver has enough money with himself to look after his needs). The
upper hand is better than the lower. Let those under your care be the first on
whom you spend in the way of Allah. (Ibn Majah, Targheeb)
53. Sayyidina
Salmaan bin ‘Aamir (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
To give Sadaqah to a needy fetches a single reward and to give it to relative
fetches two rewards-one against Sadaqah and the other against joining ties.
(Nasa’i, Targheeb)
54. Sayyidina
Abu Huraysah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
By Him who has sent Me with the Truth, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will
not punish him who is merciful to the orphan, talks to him gently, has pity on
him because of his being an orphan and weak. Whatever plentiful Allah has given
him. O Ummah of Muhammad! (Peace be upon Him) By Him who has sent Me with the
Truth, Allah does not accept the Sadaqah of one whose relatives are deprived of
his ties while he gives Sadaqah to other people. By Him in whose hands lies my
life. Allah will not cast a merciful glance on such a person on the Day of
Resurrection. (Tabarani, Targheeb)
