568. Virtue Of Giving Charity

By Asma bint Shameem

We all know the virtue of *giving charity* for the sake of Allaah. 

It’s one of the *most BELOVED* deeds to Allaah and its something that’s rewarded 10 to 700 times or even more. 

Want to know the BEST DAY to give charity?

Yes you guessed it.... it’s *FRIDAY*!

Giving charity on Friday is the *best* day of the week to do so. 

Ibn Al-Qayyim said:

*“Giving charity of Friday with regard to the rest of the week is the best day to do so.*

*This is similar to the superiority of giving charity during Ramadhaan with regard to the rest of the months.”*

And Ka’b radhi Allaahu anhu said:

*“Giving Sadaqah on Friday is better than giving it on any other day of the week”* 

(Abdur Razzak in his Musanaf(5558)-Saheeh)

So just like there are certain times that are better than others, like Ramadhaan is better than other months, or Laylatul Qadr is the best night of the entire year, or the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are the best days of the year, similarly Friday has *superiority* over other days.

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

*“I witnessed Shaykh ul Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah, when he would go out to the Jumu’ah prayer he would take whatever he could find at home of bread etc., and he would give that in charity, secretly on his way to the prayer.”*

(Zad by Ibn al-Qayyim 1/395)

So give sadaqah today, even if it’s ONE dollar. 

Do it *REGULARLY*...

*TODAY* and *EVERY FRIDAY*. 

And reap the rewards from your Rabb. 

“And whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allah’s Cause), He will replace it.” 

(Surah Saba:39)

And Allaah knows best
