Assalamualaikum wr wbt,

"What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured." (Bukhari)

This hadith could never be more relevant with the current floods crisis ravaging the people of Pakistan at this time. Only $3.20 has been committed per flood affected person even though the Pakistan Floods are the greatest humanitarian crisis in recent history according to the UN, with more people affected than Haiti and the Tsunami combined. So the question arises….

"Satan always threatens you with the prospect of poverty (when you spend some of your wealth for charity), and orders you to commit indecent acts (such as being greedy and miserly), whereas Allah promises you His Forgiveness and Generous Bounty.
