Spending to Success

Category: Articles

by Hadhrat Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh

Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam said:

Sadaqah does not decrease wealth. (Muslim)

We learn from this hadīth that no one will ever suffer financial loss due to spending in the path of Allāh ta'ālā. This principle is absolute. Financial experts and economists may not agree, but the words of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam can never be wrong. The intellect says that spending, whether in sadaqah or for worldly matters, decreases one's wealth. It calculates that someone with £1,000 who spends £100 on helping an orphan or widow, or on building a masjid, will be left with £900, so spending decreases wealth. However, sadaqah does not decrease wealth, and the thought that it does comes from Shaytān, and is in direct contradiction to the teachings of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam.
