A thousand rupiah is a coin that some people pay less attention to. Usually when shopping or buying anything, if you can refund the coin Rp.1.000, - or 500 that often some people ignore it. It was not thrown away, but he was left alone in his room after someone arrived at his home. Yes, I personally like that. Often coins I leave it in the room, sometimes until piled up to hundreds.
Well, never imagine not if the money can be of great value too, you know? Yes, the money we give away. It will be worth plus and get more replies, even mentioned can reply up to ten times.
However, is it true how we charity today?
I often pay attention to the shops in the downtown area I've left behind. When it comes the beggars, it's so easy for the shopkeeper to take a coin that might have been prepared to give it to anyone who comes begging. The question is, is the nature of alms?
Friend, never kill someone with your alms. Do not make them lazy because of your gift. Also do not make them add stubborn in doing activities "hands down" it.
Once I read in a writing, I forget who the author. There mentioned in the time of the Prophet once there was a beggar came to the mosque where the companions gathered. There are some friends who give alms to them as best they can. Then the Prophet rebuked them. Do not make him feel at home in begging. He is one of those who can work.
The Prophet asked, what can you take for you to sell beggars? Go home and take it. Go home the beggar and bring the goods he can sell. Prophets and companions buy it with more value, and serve as venture capital. Then the beggar then becomes a businessman.
See how the Apostle taught the essence of alms. Our application today?
Another story, we expect the pleasure of Allah with charity. How can we reach His approval while the pleasure of His servant alone can not we reach? Yes, this if our charity even makes him hurt.
Analoginya like this, if there is an adult we give money Rp.1.000, -. Can you imagine how she feels? Would he have thought we were mocking him? The step of his heart?
Then, the money Rp.1.000, - that we give to the children who perhaps there is no need anything. With the money he can buy snacks candy or semisalnya.
These two comparisons, a thousand dollars, would be alms if we were for whom? Or if two or two fall into the alms category. What would be the bigger benefit? Believe me, which is more capable we make them happy and smile, there lies a great reply too.
So hopefully useful!
