Cause and effect, are from the wisdom of Allah. He
has connected the cause and effect of things. For
example, the person who uses good methods in planting
his crops, will get a good harvest. Just the same
way a person who eats and drinks healthily will have
good health.
Allah too has linked spiritual and metaphysical causes
to spiritual results. Allah states that the one who
is beneficial to his relatives will have an increase
in his life span. Also Allah states that giving charity
removes evil. We human beings wonder how the cause
and effect is connected, and what is the wisdom behind
the incidences in life? Some cause and effects are
easy to explain and the wisdom behind them is clear.
On the other hand some of these phenomena's are hard
to explain. However Islam stresses that giving charity
increases sustenance. Here are a few traditions that
stress on this fact.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) says: "Attract sustenance
by giving charity". (BIHAR VOL 74 PAGE 392)
Abu Abdillah (a.s.) says: "Allah gives help
to person equal in quantity to the charity a person
gives". (BIHAR VOL 76 PAGE 311)
Imam Jaffer Sadiq (a.s.) says that: "Everything
has a key, and the key to sustenance is charity".
(BIHAR VOL 47 PAGE 38)
Here below are some real life events which will illustrate
these facts.
