Charity is a Proof
Everybody on earth loves money. Well at least we are sure that everyone is happy in payday. Majority of people receive their salaries with smile. But we sometimes find people who could share or give some of their wealth to others in charity. How could it be?
.
Imam ibn Uthaymeen in Sharh Boolughul Maram said : One cannot lose(leave) something he loves except for another thing he loves more.
.
As a Muslim, we testify that we love Allah. And most of people know that Allah loves charity and people who love doing it. And besides, He is the Most Rich. He is the one who has the ultimate ownership of all wealth in this world. So how could someone who testified that he loves Allah reject to give some of their wealth for charity in the cause of Him?
That's why in Islam we called charity with the term of Sadaqah.
.
Sadaqah comes from the word sidq (sincerity), i.e. it is a sign of sincerity of faith on the part of the person who gives it. (See Fath al-Qadeer, 2/399)
Therefore, Let the charity become proof of our love to Allah
