Book Name:Qaroon Ki Halakat Ka Sabab
not become lazy at all in carrying out any commandment of Shari’ah, but rather we should make up our mind to think that definitely whatever Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does, has wisdom in it. He is extremely kind to His bondmen; every commandment of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has goodness for us.
Therefore, fulfilling the right of being His bondman we should also say Labbayk to His every commandment and should carry it out. For example, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to offer Salah, so as the time of Salah comes we should stop every type of work and offer Salah. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to observe Sawm in the month of Ramadan, so we should observe Sawm throughout the month of Ramadan regularly. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to take care of the rights of our family and other Muslims, so we have to take care of their rights. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to do goodness to our parents, so we should treat our parents well. Similarly, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed wealth upon us and has also commanded us to pay its Zakah, so we should pay Zakah of our wealth wholeheartedly every year.
Here keep it in mind that it is famous in public that Zakah should only be paid in the month of Ramadan because the way the reward of other virtuous deeds are increased, similarly the reward for spending in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ also increases. There is no doubt, but O devotee of Ramadan! It is not necessary that Zakah has to be paid only in the month of Ramadan, but rather the one on whom Zakah is Fard should know the Islamic date and the Islamic month in which Zakah has become Fard for him.
Remember! It is Fard for the person on whom Zakah is Fard to know the essential rulings of Zakah. If he does not learn them, he will become a sinner. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid, for gaining more reward we might be disobeying Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم by observing delay in paying Zakah. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ Dawat-e-Islami guides us in every walk of life. We must have the passion and true desire to gain Islamic knowledge. At present, there are many sources for gaining Islamic knowledge which are easily available by virtue of the blessings of Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Now perhaps no one may have the reason that he remained deprived of Islamic knowledge because he did not know about it.
