Hadith 31 August 2010

Long, long, long time ago somebody have made a promise that he think he capable to fulfill. Apparently he has been overestimating himself while doing so. Forgive that man, because he also a human who try to bring out the best out of himself.

The hadith of today was "assodoqatulburhan" which means "a charity is a prove".

1. In this hadith, Rasulullah s.a.w try to tell us that a charity is a prove of someone faith.
2. The charity here should not only be referred to money. Although money could be an easy example to make people understand the meaning of charity, the scope of charity is as starting from money to every single "nikmat" that Allah have gave to us; food, ideas, strength, advices etc.
3. For us to be able to give or share the "nikmat" gifted to us with the others is the prove of our faith. The more you give the stronger your faith is.
4. From now on we could take this as an indication of our faith. Try to self-asses the charity done by us so that we can have an idea on the state of our own faith.
5. May Allah give us the self-consciousness on our faith, insyaAllah.
