The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
If any guest comes to our home, we do our best to fulfil their worldly desires but we don’t even like to glance towards the guests of the Holy Prophet! O people! Who feed your children rich oily dishes! Did you ever look at the students of Dars-e-Nizami [‘Aalim course], how they survive on lentils, rice and vegetables, etc. If they do have something to eat they eat, otherwise they stay hungry. If your child gets sick even if he just sneezes, you take him immediately to the doctor. But what do you say about those parents who have sent their children to Jami’a-tul-Madinah for 8 years for propagation of Islam. These children are also the beloved of their parents. How commendable and great the sacrifice of their parents is! They have no desire to make their children doctors after obtaining MBBS degree, or making them engineer by obtaining Engineering degree to financially secure their future. No! These are the parents who are not anxious about whether their sons serve them in this world or not, they just desire when they arise on the Day of Judgement, their children become a source of intercession for them. They send their children to become Haafiz, Islamic scholars, Muftis, travellers of Madani Qafilahs, make them do Madani Tarbiyyati courses, Qafilah course or Imamat course. Dear Islamic brothers! Would that we also develop a Madani mindset and dedicate ourselves and our children to learn 55 www.dawateislami.net
