Surah Al-Tawbah (ayat 60)
Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the Cause of God and for the wayfarer; (thus is it) ordained by God, and God is full of knowledge and wisdom.
i found it interesting in the same surah (ayat 43-66).
Every day, we are lost in our own lust and sometimes it happens without us realizing it. Everything that we do, we need to have the right niat. Even a simple thing like saying assalamualaikum, we must say it sincerely with meanings and not just saying it merely as a culture. In a way, it is like a doa that we give to our brothers and sisters so please, when you say to them, say it like you mean it. How would you feel if someone you love says i love you but he doesn't mean it? The same thing applies here.
Let me ask you something. Why do you give derma? Some people give derma because they feel bad for the person. Some gives because they feel like they have to (because the person suddenly comes up to you while you're having dinner...which always happen in KL) in order to get rid of the person or he@she might feel embarrassed for being a cheapskate in front of their friends.Some even gives to show their wealth(@##%$!). Let me be straight to you. IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE GIVING, DON'T GIVE. What's the point in doing the charity when you're not sincere? You might look good in the eye of the society, but have you ever think on how god sees us?
Say: "Spend (for the Cause) willingly or unwillingly: not from you will it be accepted: for ye are indeed a people rebellious and wicked". The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are: that they reject God and His Messenger; that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they offer contributions unwillingly. Surah: Al Tawbah ( 53-54)
