 As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Welcome to Morales and Minutes I am Muhammad Ali and today we will talk about charity Charity has a high emphasis in Islam Charity is not just an ad that comes out of a Muslim But we also see it highly practiced in the West Charity in itself is a part of humanity We see it often and Islam encourages highly Even the non-Muslim who gives for charity is rewarded as per the holy traditions I will narrate you some of these beautiful stories As per the holy traditions of the Prophet Peace be upon them These stories will show you that not reward for charity is for all It is narrated by Imam Sadaf, Peace be upon him He said A Jewish man passed by the Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon him and his family And said to him May you be poisoned The Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon him and his family Responded to him by saying And upon you His companions then said He saluted you with death For you said May death be upon you The Prophet, Peace be upon him and his family said And that is how I responded to him For this Jewish man will be bitten by a snake And will be dead from this bite The Jewish man then left to collect the firewood And on his way back The Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon him and his family said to him Put the firewood down As the Jewish man did this A snake came out to the firewood The Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon him and his family then asked him O Jewish man, what did you do today? He answered I did not do anything but my regular job Collecting firewood As I was walking I saw a poor man And I was carrying two pieces of bread I gave one And then I ate the second one The Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon him and his family then said Because of this act Allah has pushed the danger away from you Surely charity pushes away danger from an individual From this beautiful incidence You can see that charity pushes away danger Even for the non-Muslim This is an act that is loved by Allah Let us pray we can act upon this tradition And when we see a poor man or a needy person We give him charity Wa Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wabarak
