 والذين هم للزكات فاعلون يجب أن يفعل ذكات ذكات في القرآن يوجد ممتاز مجرد مجرد صداقات مجرد مجرد مجرد ذكات مثل ذكات الفطرة مجرد خمس مثل بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إنما وليكم الله ورسوله أمام الصلاة ويؤتون ذكات وهم راكعون إن صحينك يكونوا أمامهم ومعهم صلاة أمير المؤميني عيسلام قف صدقه not ذكات لكن الله رفع لله صدقه as what ذكات يعني ذكات يوجد مجرد مجرد في القرآن وليس ذكات فاعلون لا تفكر only بالنجوم ، تعتبر عن يفسي ، سأعلم سيارة وعندعم ألوير. Okay well why? I ask some youth. Why do you want to become a lawyer? Because I make good money. Or I want to study hard become a doctor. Why? Make good money. I said to them, okay you made good money then what? You have achieved your goal. You retired at age of 30? That's it. You retired. You're done. You made money now. You bought a nice car. Bought a nice house. خلاص بس by 35-40 you paid it all off خلاص? that's it? retire? that's it? you achieved your goal? that's it? don't have shallow thinking think big think how can I share my علم with the people share my wealth with the people you have some dentists for example who take time off 1 month in the year 2 months in the year they go to Iraq they go to Pakistan they go to India they go to Brazil they go to poor people وراء أسلحة وراء البلدان. حاولوا بعملهم. حاولوا بعملهم! هذا يتفاق. هذا يعتقد على أعلى السابق. هذا يتفاق. يتفاق. إذا كانت تفاق كما يقولوا يتفاق فهي يتفاق. لا ، يتفاق. يتفاق أعلم الذي أعطيك. يتفاق أعلم الذي أعطيك. ملتاة آخرية. لدينا خطأ من البلدان. العراق today is about 37 million approximately which is about the population of Canada approximately out of those 37 million 4.5 million orphans يعني almost almost the population of Toronto يعني imagine the whole population of Toronto is composed of orphans can you imagine and these orphans don't have fathers and it's not just about the money this son or this child who lost his father and he's let's say 10 years old think of the trauma his father was here today tomorrow he's gone خلص that's it finished how is he gonna deal with the situation so at least let's try to help these orphans and how many orphans do we have globally from the followers of أهل البيت عليهم السلام how many millions only in Iraq we have 4.5 million think of other places Afghanistan, Pakistan, India are you there widows orphans try to give but give قربة إلى الله تعالى give قربة إلى الله تعالى help قربة إلى الله تعالى you save one orphan you help him educate achieve inshallah a degree then you've turned his life around I don't know if you've been to Iraq or maybe India, Pakistan and you see these orphans begging on the street what future does this child have think about it he's now maybe 10 years old when he becomes 20-30 what's he gonna what's gonna happen to his life whereas if you come to him you take him to an organization to a group that is reliable trustworthy and you say listen you take care of him educate him his clothing whatever and I will take care of it I'll pay you the funds and you make sure that this child grows to become inshallah with some bachelor degree with some university degree then imagine his life of this individual around you've saved him Allah made you a reason to save this child that's what zakat does it creates this love in the community love in the society a person one day came to me he said sheikh I am sleeping in the shelter and my family members you know cousins others he says they go to Hajj every single year they go to Ziyara every single year they spending thousands of dollars جزاهم الله خيرا but I'm sleeping in the shelter I don't even have money to pay my rent we need to think of others when you do think of others you'll see how the people will love you you'll create that love in the community I'll tell you this one incident it happened with me a mu'min came to me and said through the conversation he didn't even tell me through the conversation he said I'm putting my house for sale I asked him why how come he said you know job is not very good and I can't afford the payments anymore I looked at him I said okay when you sell your house what are you going to do he says I don't know go find some rent I said so you're going to sell the house that you're living in right now and go find some rent how much do you need he said X amount of dollars thousands of dollars I said okay wait called some mu'min within a matter of couple hours they said we'll give him the whole amount and don't even tell him who it is in fact they don't even know who it is wallah they did not even ask who it is I said to them there is a mu'min who's about to lose his house so he's putting it up for sale and this is in Canada they said tell him not to sell his house we'll take care of his mortgage payments they used to give the money to me from me it goes to his bank directly he doesn't know who paid and the payee doesn't know to whom it was paid but how many of such people do we have that's really the essence of iman iman is not just about standing for salat that's between you and Allah but what about what do people see of you your akhlaq that's what they see of you a group of people came to imam al-sadaq عليه السلام and they told him اللهم صلى الله عليه وسلم they said يبنى رسول الله we come from a community that is all your shia they love you they follow you they obey you they do this they do that imam صلى الله عليه وسلم okay they pray wonderful he says tell me how do they deal with each other does the rich help the poor does the young look after the old do they look after each other they said نا يبنى رسول الله none of this he says then these are not my shia these are people who love me they love us they are our lovers but don't say that you have come from a group of our shia our shia are people who care about each other والمؤمنون والمؤمنات بعضهم أولياء بعض الله says مؤمنين male and female believers they are to be supporters of one another taking care of one another and we read in زيارة عشورة which I recommend to the mu'mineen to read every single day every day read زيارة عشورة and insha'Allah you'll see the fruit of زيارة عشورة reading it every day in دنيا before the אחرة you have problems you have issues read زيارة عشورة health problems read زيارة عشورة it is very important to read زيارة عشورة it brings a lot of barakah in your life in زيارة عشورة we read we say الذي أكرمني بمعرفتكم ومعرفة أوليائكم الله the one who has honored me through recognizing you يا أبا عبد الله يا أهل البيت I recognize you indeed it is blessing from Allah it is an honor that we know who our أهل البيت عليهم السلام and insha'Allah we follow them that's an honor not only it's an honor to recognize you and to recognize those who are the followers your followers ومعرفة أوليائكم meaning us knowing each other is an honor to us think about this brothers and sisters is this how we deal with each other in the community or while we're having chai here did you see this person look at that person look at him look at this person oh now this guy is standing for presidency he can't even pay he doesn't even own his house how can he become the president unfortunately we have this kind of mentality we judge people based on how much their wealth is we don't judge him based on his taqwa on his deen on his religion on his iman how good of a mu'mina she is how much she helps she contributes and sometimes you don't even recognize you don't even realize but Allah brings the barakah in the lives of those who help there was a lady from Kuwait this lady used to build masajid without her family even knowing she had a contact person in Iran she would tell that contact the trustworthy person she tells him go find the villages in Iran that don't have masajid poor people small village tell me how much will it cost to build a masjid there and I will send you the money she built 14 masajids 14 then she died nobody knew one day a person from Kuwait goes to visit Iran for Ziyara runs a vehicle a car and starts driving goes around from one city to another city he stops in one of those cities the small villages on his way he wants to pray he goes to the masjid he's wearing his Kuwaiti attire he enters into the masjid prays the salat the imam of the masjid afterwards comes to him السلام عليكم عليكم السلام where do you come from I'm from Kuwait oh masha'Allah did you know that the person who built this masjid is from Kuwait she's a lady from Kuwait he says really oh no I didn't know that I came by coincidence I was passing by he says yeah this lady she passed away رحمة الله عليها her name was Fulana so and so he said really that's my relative I know her so he goes back to Kuwait he contacts her children this elderly lady he said did you know your mother had built masajid in Iran he said no Allah we had no idea nobody knew but Allah wanted to show the work why because it was done قربة إلى الله so Allah wanted to show is it a coincidence that this man from Kuwait happens to be passing by this masjid coincidence that the imam of the masjid knows that it is built by that lady coincidence that the imam approaches this man and talks to him Allah wanted to show the عمل الصالح even though the lady kept it a secret but Allah wanted to show it's قربة إلى الله تعالى she never told anyone and later her family recognized after her death that she had built 14 masjids now how many people did she help through that how many you know communities were served by that that's when you don't think about yourself and that's what another meaning so when you إن شاء الله become successful whatever you do as a mu'min try to help other communities help them with your علم like that dentist who goes and travels he has knowledge he shares that knowledge with the people or those doctors there are some doctors who travel and they share their engineers go they build homes for the orphans they are sharing علم people who pay they say we'll sponsor an orphan we'll sponsor widows we'll sponsor books publications we'll sponsor orphanages schools we'll do that نور على نور that's the essence of the Zakat which means you look after the community the society and not only that even here I know here they have a program called out of the cold out of the cold those people who look after that who participate in that program we have to look after the weak in the society and صدقات are acceptable for those who are non-Muslims you can give صدقات to a non-Muslim إن شاء الله you'll get the edge إن شاء الله
