brothers financially. Spend as much as possible on masjids, madrassas, and other good deeds. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه We will earn many blessings.

 It is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 274:

اَلَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَہُمْ بِالَّیْلِ وَ النَّہَارِ سِرًّا وَّ عَلَانِیَۃً فَلَہُمْ اَجْرُھُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّہِمْ ۚ وَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْہِمْ وَ لَا ھُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ (۲۷۴)ؔ

Those who spend their wealth (in the way of Allah) in the night and in the day; secretly and openly; their reward is with their Lord; they have no fear nor any grief.[1]

Likewise, in the 261st verse, it is said:

مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَہُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰہِ کَمَثَلِ حَبَّۃٍ اَنْۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِیْ کُلِّ سُنْۢبُلَۃٍ مِّائَۃُ حَبَّۃٍ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ یُضٰعِفُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ  وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ (۲۶۱)

The example of those who spend their wealth in the path of Allah is similar to a grain which has sprouted seven ears (of wheat), and each ear contains a hundred grains; and Allah may increase even more than this for whomsoever He wills, and Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! If we spend in the path of Allah, the Lord and Master, the Creator and Owner of the heavens, the Earth, and all the worlds; that Generous and Gracious Lord will shower His mercy upon us and will increase our wealth.

Many fortunate Muslims fulfil their financial obligations, happily pay zakat and fitrah on time, spend on their parents, siblings, and children,
