The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, brought the message of God and explained all the commandments concerning the religion of Islam.

Financial sacrifice ( sadqa) is another way to gain ALLAH’S blessings and mercy. And financial sacrifice also protects us from many harms and should be given daily or at least monthly according to the teachings of the Holy Prophet (saw) and Holy Quran.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_images_carousel images=”606,618,619,437,439,441,629,623,626″ onclick=”custom_link” mode=”vertical” autoplay=”yes” custom_links=”/salat/,/holy-quran/,/truthfulness/,/friday-sermin/,/letter-to-huzur/,/watch-mta/,/hard-work/,/chanda/,respect-for-elders/” title=”Other Habits”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”For Atfal” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-book” add_icon=”true”][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section i_type=”entypo” i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-flag” title=”Why It’s Important” tab_id=”1456636925528-fc4aa126-f2ea” add_icon=”true”][vc_column_text]

  • Teachings of the Promised Messiah (as):
    • The Promised Messiahas said: “What a blessed time this is! No one is asked to lay down his life. This is not the time for offering the ultimate sacrifice; rather it is the time to spend out of one’s possessions, according to one’s means.” 1 In 1879, when the Promised Messiahas wanted to publish Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya, he did not have enough money to have it published all at once. Expressing the anxiety he had felt about this lack of funds, he wrote: “When I wrote Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya, which was my first book, I did not have enough money to publish it. I was an unknown and obscure person at the time and I didn’t know many people. So I prayed to God Almighty and I was blessed with the following Revelation: ‘Shake 1 Al-Hakam Qadian, July 10, 1903. An Introduction to Financial Sacrifice viii the palm tree, sweet and fresh dates shall fall for thee.’ ” 2 When, after receiving this Revelation, the Promised Messiahas appealed for assistance, God Almighty made such provisions that the book was published and with it the foundation for the victory of Islam was laid. As for the fortunate ones who sacrificed their belongings for the sake of Allah, the Promised Messiahas has mentioned them by name and expressed his appreciation in these words: “I am so overwhelmed by their support that I simply have no words to express my gratitude.”
