Book Name:Sadqa ke Fawaid

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! What can be said about the excellences and benefits of giving Sadaqah. We should also try to give Sadaqah and charity in this world and do good deeds that will enlighten our Hereafter.

How good it would be that alongside giving Sadaqah and charity to poor people, Miskeen (destitute), orphans, widows, people in need and relatives, we also give Sadaqah and charity in good actions such as constructing and running of Masajid, Madaris-ul-Madinah and Jami’a-tul-Madinah. Moreover, for the sake of hoisting the flag of Islam high and for spreading the knowledge of Islam, give donations to Dawat-e-Islami for the students that are acquiring the knowledge of Islam and make your Hereafter better.

It is narrated: ‘Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه (who is a special student of Imam-e-A’zam Abu Hanifah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه and one of the Imams of the Hanafi Fiqh:) would especially be good to the people of knowledge.

It was said to him: ‘Why don’t you treat everyone the same?’

He replied: ‘After the blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام and the noble companions عَلَیْھِمُ الرِّضْوَان, I do not deem the status of anyone high except for the noble scholars of Islam. If any scholar’s focus deviates due to his own needs, then he will not be able to concentrate properly on teaching religious education. Therefore, it is superior to make them free for the service of (Islamic) knowledge.’ (Ziya-e-Sadaqat, pp. 172)

Dear Islamic sisters! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه the Madani movement of the devotees of the Holy Prophet, Dawat-e-Islami, is busy in spreading the message of Islam and inviting people towards righteousness in more than 108 departments. In this delicate era, where evil forces are trying to destroy the faith of Muslims with full power and are busy in misguiding them, Dawat-e-Islami has shone as a ray of hope and this Madani movement has passionately assisted the Ummah, spread the knowledge of Quran and Sunnah, instilled the knowledge of the Holy Quran within the hearts and awoken the Ummah of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم from their negligent dream.

In a short space of time, they have opened up thousands of Madaris called ‘Madaris-ul-Madinah’ for boys and girls in various countries and cities, whereas they have opened up Islamic universities called ‘Jami’a-tul-Madinah’ for Islamic brothers and sisters to train and educate them according to Shari’ah and instil good manners within them, so that when they graduate after their studies, they can truly play a major role in eradicating the evils        of society and live their life according to the Madani aim given by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ that ‘I must strive to reform myself and people of the entire world اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.

Remember! The Madaris-ul-Madinah and Jami’a-tul-Madinah, run by Dawat-e-Islami, hold a great importance in terms of Islamic virtue. For this very reason, not millions but billions of rupees are spent annually to run these Madaris-ul-Madinah and Jami’a-tul-Madinah.

Therefore, it is a request that you also gain the Du’as of these students, enable Dawat-e-Islami to grow further and make the system of Madaris-ul-Madina and Jami’ah-tul-Madina stronger by contributing through the means of giving your Zakah, Fitrah, Sadaqah, Nafl charity and ‘Ushr, etc. to Dawat-e-Islami. Not only yourself, but do individual effort on your relatives, neighbours and friends and persuade them also to contribute to Dawat-e-Islami. If someone’s mind-set is made through our few words and individual effort and he gives his Zakah, Fitrah, Sadaqah, Nafl charity and ‘Ushr, etc. to Dawat-e-Islami for the Madani activities, then this would become a means of Sawaab-e-Jariyah [i.e. continuous reward] for us as well.

Dear Islamic sisters! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه thousands of devotees of the Holy Prophet contribute financially to the Madani activities of Dawat-e-Islami in different ways. It could be that someone has a question in his mind that how can I contribute to the Madani activities of Dawat-e-Islami?

Let’s listen to a very easy method through which even a very poor person can also be successful in contributing his share towards Dawat-e-Islami. What is that method? It is called financial assistance through ‘Gharaylu Chandah Box’. The boxes kept in homes are called ‘home Sadaqah box.’
