00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.060
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:11.060
“And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord,” (23:60)

00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:19.059
“These race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race.” (23:61)

00:00:19.059 --> 00:00:23.800
The Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, asked

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:29.800
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, about this noble verse:

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:30.800
She said,

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.799
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.799
'They give what they give while their hearts are fearful'—

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.829
is this the person who steals, commits adultery, and drinks wine,

00:00:40.829 --> 00:00:43.960
yet still fears Allah, the Almighty and Majestic?"

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.960
He, peace be upon him, replied,

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.960
"No, O daughter of al-Siddiq,

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.060
rather, they are those who pray, fast, and give charity,

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:58.060
yet fear that it will not be accepted from them."

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:01.060
“These race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race.” (23:61)
