Generosity

If you are not generous and life is passing along, 
And your hands possess surplus and the ability to give. 
And what will be asked from you if you were to be sacked?, 
And when the world was to bite into you with its canines. 
And time will take back what it bestowed upon you, 
For verily it is a habit of time to take back the loan.


Wealth is not something that will last forever. We all work hard and save up money, but by the time we have it saved up we are near to our death and it all passes on to our children. We don’t give charity because we want to save up and plan to give it when we have enough. But we should ask ourselves this: When is enough?

Never. Thus the Imam is saying that when money is coming in we should spend in the way of Allah as thanks because one never knows when all the wealth could disappear.
