Muslim Woman - Islam Set Example
This then, leads us to the elegantly simple game of
giving. Playable individually or in teams, on a limitless
playing field, it requires no spectators. While it is
easy to understand, the rules are tough and like all great
games, the glory is in the participation; the pleasure in
the commitment. The rewards, which Allah Almighty
promises can be aplenty, are of course welcome icing on
the cake. Notably though the game never stops, for the
resources given by Allah Almighty are meant for all
humanity; and they have to remain in continuous
circulation. The objective too is unambiguous. Recognize
that peoples’ genuine needs differ, but give as much as
you can from what remains after satisfying your personal
needs. The needy have a right to expect assistance and
within that fundamental premise, the Quran proffers many
explanatory notes. Firstly, give because you believe in
Allah Almighty and his cause. Give wholeheartedly with
unselfish compassion, but do so from that which has been
earned honorably. In giving more or less; openly or
secretly; be genuine, for when we help from what we
ourselves have rejected, our hypocrisy is inexcusable. Of
course, we must give sensibly. Emotions can lead to
excesses and irrationality, which can be detrimental to
both the giver and the receiver. Furthermore, we are
rightly warned to be humble. Constant reminders of the
kind deeds one performs can be painfully embarrassing for
all concerned.
