You Will Not Attain Righteousness Until You Spend From What You Love by AbuAbdirrahmaan: 12:12am On Mar 12
True righteousness comes when we give from what we love most, not just from what is convenient. Allah says:
📖 "You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love." (Quran 3:92)

The Virtue of Giving Generously:

1️⃣ Give from the Best of Your Wealth – Allah commands believers to give quality charity, not leftovers or items they wouldn't accept themselves.
📖 “Do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that], while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes.” (Quran 2:267)

2️⃣ The Example of Abu Talhah (RA) – He owned Bayruha, a beloved garden facing the Prophet’s ﷺ mosque. Upon hearing the verse, he immediately donated it for Allah’s sake.

3️⃣ Charity to Relatives is Doubly Rewarded – The Prophet ﷺ said:
"Charity given to the poor is charity, and charity given to a poor relative is both charity and maintaining ties."

4️⃣ Giving to Allah is an Investment – Abu Dahdah (RA) once asked:
"O Messenger of Allah, does Allah want a loan from us?"
When the Prophet ﷺ confirmed, he donated his entire garden with 600 palm trees!

5️⃣ Ibn Umar's Practice (RA) – Whenever he loved something from his wealth and his soul was attached to it, he would give it in charity based on Allah’s words:
📖 "You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love."

6️⃣ Don’t Delay Charity – The Prophet ﷺ rushed to distribute some gold after prayer, saying:
"I disliked that it should stay with us through the night, so I ordered it to be distributed."

📌 Key Lessons:
✅ Give from what you love, not what is leftover.
✅ Support needy family members first.
✅ Spend in charity before it's too late.

🤲 O Allah, make us among those who give generously, seeking Your pleasure. Accept our charity and grant us righteousness. Aameen!

💬 What is something you love that you can give for the sake of Allah? Let’s reflect together!

Muslims eat breakfast and join their lunch to dinner. Please what kind of fasting is that?
