عطا ہو الٰہی سخاوت کا جذبہ

کنجوسی کروں نہ کبھی یا الٰہی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Wealth gets destroyed

The wealth whose Zakah is not paid is destroyed. Today if we see in our society we hear that perhaps big businessmen and the owners of big factories suddenly become bankrupt and become indebted. These are the people who were leading their life heedlessly in luxury, had hundreds of employees and had lots of servants for general work, but today they have lost everything. Perhaps all these have happened because of their own deeds such as they might have included the money of interest in their business or they might not have paid Zakah of their wealth every year, that’s why they are being punished in the world.

But remember, if we know a person who was very rich, but now has become very poor and this evil thought comes to us that the punishment he is receiving is all because of the reasons that he did not use to spend his wealth in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he did not use to pay Zakah and he used to scold the poor instead of helping them, so Shari’ah does not allow us to have such a thought about any Muslim. We do not know what the real matter is. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless us with the eternal wealth of having good opinion! Aameen

It is stated in a blessed Hadees: Whatever wealth is lost at a dry place or in the water is destroyed due to not paying Zakah.(Majma’-uz-Zawaid, vol. 3, pp. 200, Hadees 4335)
