Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:09,730 --> 00:00:12,730
Among the fruits of voluntary charity:

3
00:00:12,730 --> 00:00:20,910
Voluntary charity bears magnificent fruits, both for the giver and for the recipient.

4
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:23,910
First, for the one who spends in the cause of Allah,

5
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:26,910
it liberates their soul from the love of wealth,

6
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:29,910
so that they do not become a slave to it.

7
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:32,909
Whoever frees themselves from enslavement to wealth

8
00:00:32,909 --> 00:00:35,909
is liberated from subservience to anything else;

9
00:00:35,909 --> 00:00:39,909
thus, they become a slave neither to desire nor to anyone besides Allah,

10
00:00:39,909 --> 00:00:44,909
becoming one of the truly free people who are worthy of leading society.

11
00:00:44,909 --> 00:00:48,909
Furthermore, it brings blessing and growth to their wealth.

12
00:00:48,909 --> 00:00:51,009
Second:

13
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:55,009
Its fruits for the recipients are numerous and diverse.

14
00:00:55,009 --> 00:01:03,009
For kin, it is maintaining family ties that fulfills personal nobility, preserves family dignity, and strengthens bonds of kinship.

15
00:01:03,009 --> 00:01:08,010
For orphans, it provides communal solidarity and protects them from homelessness in their youth,

16
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:10,010
from vulnerability to corruption,

17
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:16,010
and from harboring resentment toward a society that offered them neither kindness nor care.

18
00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:19,040
For the destitute, it is a safeguard against ruin

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,040
and an affirmation of solidarity and mutual care within the Muslim community.

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:32,040
For the stranded traveler, it is an obligatory aid in their hour of hardship, when cut off from family and home,

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,040
giving them the reassurance that the entire Muslim community is their family,

22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,040
and that the whole earth is their homeland.

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,040
For those who ask, it brings relief to their dire need

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,040
and spares them from begging, which Islam discourages.
