Muslims have been enjoined to spend their money in propagating Islam and assist the less privileged in whatever way they can to better their lots.
The visiting Imam of Ajakuta mosque Adewole, Ilorin, Kwara State, Ustaz Sulaiman Muhammed gave this charge, last Friday, to Muslims during Jummat prayer.
He also stated that whoever wants Allah’s blessings should contribute towards God’s works, saying they shall never lack.
“When you spend in the way of Allah, you will not lack. Those who spend in the way of Allah will receive double reward. Take for instance, one of the companions of Prophet Muhammed (may the peace and blessing of Allah be with him) in person of Abubakar, he spent his money in the way of Allah. Muslims should inculcate such act.
Allah says He is the one who gives people wealth, if you are fortunate to be among them, use it to buy Al-Jannah (paradise).” he said.
Imam Muhammed expressed further said that some people are bestowed with position of authority by Allah, saying they should also make use of the opportunities to help others.
“If it is knowledge Allah gives you, you should let people benefit from it, likewise position of authority because He will recompense you,” the Imam stated.
He also encouraged Muslims to always visit the those who are sick in the hospital, adding, that it will further make them feel that they have brothers and sisters in Islam.
