Almsgiving will not reduce wealth. That is the guarantee of Allah SWT. Even successful non-Muslim entrepreneurs, such as Dave Thomas (founder of Wendy's) from America believe: the more you give the more you get in return!
Alms (giving) in the form of wealth, knowledge, or energy will bring blessings with the increase in wealth, knowledge, and strength.
Here are a number of arguments about alms that will not reduce wealth as summarized in Riyaduh Salihin, book of hadith collection which means "garden of righteous people" by Imam Nawawi.
"Allah Ta'ala said: Be berinfak, O son of Adam, undoubtedly someone will give you an infak." (HR. Muttafaq 'alaih)
"Property will not be reduced because of shadaqah. Allah will surely add to the glory of someone who is forgiving. Nor is a person humbling himself because of Allah, but he will also be elevated by Allah 'Azzawajalla. " (Reported by Muslim).
From Abu Kabsyah, namely Umar Ibn Sa'ad al-Anmari ra. that he heard Rasulullah SAW. said:
"There are three things that I swear upon and I tell you a Hadith, then maintain: A servant's wealth is not reduced because of shadaqah, a servant is not wronged with an injustice and he is patient, but Allah will increase his glory, nor does a servant open the door of request. , but Allah will open for him the door to poverty, "
or the word He saw. is another sentence that is in line with the description above.
And tell you a Hadith, then maintain:
Indeed, this world is for four types of people, namely: A servant who is blessed with sustenance by Allah in the form of wealth and knowledge, then he is devoted to his Lord and strengthens kinship and knows the rights of Allah in what he has, then this is the best position, too a servant who is gifted with knowledge but is not blessed with wealth, and he is honest with his intention when he says: If I had property, I would certainly do as the Fulan did, so that person because of his intention, the reward was the same as the person he would imitate.
There is also a servant who is gifted with wealth but is not blessed with knowledge, he is lost with his wealth without knowledge, he does not devote himself to his Lord, and does not connect his relatives, nor does he even know the rights of Allah in his property. This is the worst of the position. Also a servant who is not endowed with wealth nor knowledge, then he said: If I had property, I would certainly do as the so-called act. That is the intention, then the sins of both are the same. (HR. Tirmizi). Allah knows best. (ed / localhost / project / personal / ddhongkong.org / ddhongkong.org). *
