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

Part 4.7 - The blessed harvest!

Mullah Fatah Ali relates that one of his close friends related to him that he had several farms. One year due to bad economic conditions people were suffering from starvation. This man decided to give the harvest of one of the farms to the poor. So he went to the mosque and proclaimed that people could benefit from this land, provided they were in need, and that they would not take from the harvest more than that which was necessary.

The needy went there everyday in great numbers and benefited. The owner of the farm was so busy with his work that he didn't follow up closely on the condition of that piece of land. After he had harvested all the other pieces of land, he remembered this particular farm he had given as charity, and ordered his servants to go and collect any dry grass, plants and seeds that may have remained.

To the great surprise of the servants, they found that there still remained a lot of crop which had not been harvested and consumed. On collecting the harvest, they all found that the harvest of that piece of land exceeded that of all the other pieces of land which the man possessed.

In addition to that, while it was a common practice to leave a land without planting any crops the following year so that it could regain the minerals it had lost, it was found that this piece of land had not lost it's fertility at all, and it was possible to cultivate it in the following year. (Al dhunoob al kabira page 197)
