In the name of Allah The Most Beneficent The Most Merciful
Yes...It is true. This is the answer to a question a sister posed.
The question was...
Why do we feel that $50 worth so much when we want to give sadaqa in a mosque and if we want to give, it is with a heavy heart?
But the same amount of money of $50 feel so small when we want to spend in a shopping mall?
What's wrong with us?
The problem is... we are materialistic. We can only see that our money and our wealth can buy worldly goods. And it is never enough...
Yet at the same time...if we give sadaqa, we feel like we are losing and not gaining anything.
Because we cannot see what we are gaining through our eyes. We become blind and we are blind.
The truth is...sadaqa does not decrease our wealth instead it increases it.
Believe this...for every cent we spent in sadaqa, Allah will reward us bountiful more not just in this world but in the hereafter.
So...if you just happen to have that $50 in your pocket, why don't you put the money in the donation box in your local mosque instead of spending it in the mall.
You will get back a lot more....
