Allah knows the secrets of all hearts...

For those in my family who openly & secretly plot against us and one another, the hypocrites who slander, those who spread rumors and words of ignorance of no worldly use, those who disrespect, hate and idle talk between the cousins and elders, those who are in a trance of this deceiving dunya (this world), rest assured we will be given the full recompense of our actions - be they the smallest of things or large mountains. O Allah we ask you to honor us in time of death...Ameen (RSA)



He knows what is in the heavens and on Earth; and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal: and Allah knows well the secrets of all hearts. [Sura At-Taghabun 64:4]


67:13
67:14
Whether you hide your word or publish it. He certainly has full knowledge of the secrets of all hearts. He is the One that understands the finest mysteries and is well acquainted with them. [Sura Al-Mulk 67:13-14]

Our glorious wealth...will all inevitably leave us one day

image: islamgreatreligion


Our love of wealth - consumes us...but our wealth will eventually leave us. The problem is we don`t want to leave it but it will inevitably leave us. Because of this wealth, you`ll be asked on the Day of Judgment on how we made it and spent it - all on a day that will make a child grey headed, a day of horror. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ(peace be upon him) has said that the poor Muslims will precede the rich in paradise by half a day - which to us is 500 years!


It says in the Qur`an, in Chapter 64: Mutual Loss and Gain (Sura At-Taghabun, verse 15)
إِنَّمَآ أَمْوَلُكُمْ وَأَوْلَـدُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ وَاللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ
Your wealth and your children are only a trial, whereas Allah! With Him is a great reward (Paradise) (64:15)

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Every Ummah (nation) has a test to undergo, my Ummah (nation) will be tried through wealth.” [at-Tirmidhee no: 481]

Similarly, many people ruin their faith and fidelity merely due to the greed of wealth. This love of wealth creates in man evil instincts, miserliness, selfishness and arrogance, which in turn involve him in sins, falsehood, deceit, cruelty and robbery. This causes disorder and destruction in the world and the Hereafter is lost too!


The concept of Zakaah is to decrease the love of wealth and inculcate justice, generosity, brotherhood, affection and sacrifice among the Muslims and thus Allah the Almighty says in Chapter 3: Family of Imran (Sura Al-Imran, verse 92):
لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَىْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ

By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, etc., it means here Allah's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well. (3:92)
