DO NOT RENDER IN VAIN YOUR SADAQAH (CHARITY) BY REMINDERS OF YOUR GENEROSITY OR INJURY.

99%Muslims render charity by reminders of their generosity or injury and sole purpose is public show off. It is unfortunate that we are ignorant of   the strong messages in our Holy Scripture .Sadly all those in the receiving ends are victim of their generosity gestures.

SURAT-AL- BAQRAH (VERSE 215)They ask you(O Mohammad SAS)what they should spend : Whatever you spend good must be parents ,and kindred and orphans and Al Masakeen (the needy)and the wayfarer and whatever you do of good deeds ,trully, Allah knows it well”

(Verse -261)The likeness of those their wealth in the way of Allah,is as the likeness of grain (of corn),itit grows seven ears and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives many fold increase to whom He wills. And Allah is All Sufficient for His creatures need, All knower.

(VERSE-262)Those who spend wealth for the Cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury ,their reward is  with their Lord .On them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.

(VERSE -263)Kind words and forgiving (of faults) is better than Sadaqah(charity)followed by injury.And Allah is Rich (free of all needs)and He is Most Forbearing.

(VERSE -264)O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity)by reminders of your generosity or injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men and he does not believe in Allah ,nor in the Last Day .His likeness is  the likeness of a smooth rock on which a little dust ;on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide disbelieving people. Read verse 265 also please.
