SADAQA ANALOGIES

Dr. S @ Masjid DaS

Muslims should all be members of BofA.*
There you get the best returns for your investment--
some 10x and even 7x70 amounts from The Generous Ar-Razzaq (الرزاق)
You strive to invest your money where you are guaranteed the most security.
The FDIC insures only to 10,000, invest where there is absolute security.

Or like the parent that gives the child allowance.
I will continue to give you allowance if you continue to spend on what is good.
There is an assurance and positive reinforcement, but the parent's source of income is limited,
whereas Al-Karim (الكريم) The Bountiful, is not.

On the Day of Judgment, those 'who have/the rich' will be held in account if there are those who 'have not/are poor' in their community.

Those who expend their wealth night and day, secretly and in public"..to.."neither shall they sorrow." (2:274)

Give, for the sake of Allah.

Social justice is a personal and community responsibility.

Ramadan #9, On Approaching the Deen

Ramadan #9

Ramadan Mubarak! Apparently I've been inactive since the last one-- but I'm back in the blog world. Alhamdulillah I have a do-over opportunity. May the Most Merciful make it a billion gazillion times better. Ameen.

Dr. S, I believe. J-Masjid

On Approaching the deen...

If Islam is our job, Muslims have high job satisfaction.
We don't work just to get paid.
We don't just go through the motions just to get the sawab/ejr
We do it because we love it.
We do it because we love the good Lord.

We put are heart and soul in it. -Mos Def

Plus the Creator is a lot more merciful than the boss, each and every effort is rewarded.
And if we do good, we get a major bonus in the end.
