By the benevolence of Almighty Allah, hope you are in the best state of health and faith. Believers 

are promised great rewards for expending their wealth, wholeheartedly in the path of Allah 

Ta’ala. Sadaqah is a virtuous deed in Islam, and a reminder to us that the wealth we possess is 

simply a loan from Allah, for which we will be held accountable in the Aakhirah. 

Allah Ta’ala exhorts us to spend on the poor and needy, from the wealth that has been allotted to 

us. All forms of wealth essentially come from Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala, and our spending in 

His path, is highly appreciated by Allah Ta’ala. In His Infinite Mercy, Allah Ta’ala equates our 

giving of charity as a loan to Him! (Even though HE does not need it). And, this investment with 

Allah Ta’ala will provide everlasting sustenance in Dunya and Aakhirah. 

An example of this guaranteed promise, is mentioned in Verse 261 of Surah Baqarah :

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] 

which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His 

reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and knowing.” 

For the one who spends in Allah’s path, HE increases his reward from one blessing – to seven 

hundred – to seven thousand –and multiplies it even more!

Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala is ‘Zul Fadhlil Azeem‘– the Possessor of Great Bounty – and HE 

rewards immensely! A person, who is aware of the large profits that will be reaped from sowing 

just one seed into the ground, will most definitely exert himself and work harder to derive the 

rest of the gains.

Similarly, when a Believer understands that his giving of charity will reap tremendous reward, 

then he will likewise strive hard to reap the magnanimous rewards for charity promised by Allah 

Ta’ala. Thus, one who spends just one penny in the path of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala, is 

investing in something that will give him multiple profits in the Aakhirah.
