Charity Does Not Lessen One's Money

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said "The upper hand is better than the lower hand."

[Bukhari]

Explanation : Allah (Swt) has promised to multiply the rewards of good deeds. Therefore, along with prayers we should also help the needy and poor people by our wealth.

The upper hand is the one that gives, and the lower hand is the one that receives. Islam encourages the Muslim to spend from his money for Allah's sake whenver he is capable of doing so , and it stresses on the great virtues of charity.

In this life, the charity enlarges the blessings in one's fortune. Unlike what most people think; money gets practically bigger so long as the person is giving charities. As the Prophet (saws) stated , "The charity does not lessen one's money" . As we know, the amount of money is not what counts , but it is the value of the money and the things you can get with this money is what counts.

When the believer keeps on feeding his money with charity , this enlarges the blessing in his money.
