[mood: Social queen]
[craving: more..]
Few days ago, I heard a lecture about 9adaqa (giving money to the poor), and I know we’ve all heard it all before.. but when you really think deeply about it.. &
listen to how rewarding it really is.. it totally changes your perspective..
قال صلـــى اللــه عليــه وسلــــم: ما نقص مال من صدقة
Which means, no matter how much you give to the poor.. God will make it up to you in your life, not to mention the rewards in the after life..Think about it, since its Ramadan, the money you would usually spend on a regular day out with your friends, dinner treats and probably shopping for useless things that you cannot even remember.. is better spent on the poor.. If you stop thinking you give too much.. think of the already wasted money you spent on other useless, unrewarding things..
Maybe also dedicate a day & do some serious screening in your room.. look around you.. how long has some clothes been sitting idle and untouched in your closet? Forget about the silly thoughts that might pop in your head:
“You spent a fortune on that Designer top..” or
“You MUST have aaawll the shades of pink shirts- not any less” or
“Ofcourse these 5 black skirts are different than each other!”.. You know they’re already expired from your likings.. & you wouldn’t wear them again.. Think of those who have to wait for ages till they can finally afford a new pair of shoes.. or have to be sharing their very limited clothes with their many sibilings..
It is the holy month of giving & thinking of the less fortunate.. so what’s stopping you in making use of this? You already got the whole year thinking about yourself.. a merely-one-month wouldnt hurt to dedicate to others..
& trust me.. at the end of the day.. when you think you brought joy to other people.. deep down inside.. you made your soul smile too.. =)
