Charity doesn't decrease wealth

Sunday, May 3, 2015

مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ، وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا، وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ
Transliteration

Ma naqasat sadaqatun min mal, wa ma zada-llahu 'abdan bi-'afwin illa 'izza, wa ma tawada'a ahadun lillahi illa rafa'ahu-llah.

Translation

Charity does not decrease wealth. No servant forgives without Allah adding to his honour. No one humbles himself for Allah's sake without Allah raising him.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih Muslim 2588
Reflection

Three counter-intuitive promises. You give, you forgive, you lower yourself — and each time you come out higher.
