THE BEAUTY OF CHARITY
By Ahmed Al-Ali, Kuwait
In the name of God, the almighty

Part 4.3 - Help according to your capability!

Sheikh Abdul Aziim Al Muhtadi Al Bahraani in his book 'Qasas wal Khawatir' relates that a beloved friend of his came to him in need of some money. Although the Sheikh didn't have anything to give this friend, yet he asked the friend to meet him at a certain venue so that he would give away the little he possessed, thinking of the saying that if you can't give everything you can give a little.

As the Sheikh waited for this friend, he came across a verse of Quran which says that a person should give charity according to his means, and that Allah doesn't burden a person more than his capability, and surely after difficulties there is ease. (Sura Talaq verse 7)

The Sheikh saw that the verse was describing his position in respect to his friend, as the Sheikh didn't have much to give to his friend but he would help his friend according to his capability. As he took out an envelope containing the little he had, he decided to write the verse of Quran on the envelope.

As he finished doing so, he found his friend coming towards him happily and saying that he had obtained what he desired soon after the Sheikh had promised to give him something. (QASAS WAL KHAWATIR PAGE 280)
