Sedekah Luar Biasa

by Zaharuddin Abdul Rahman

Sedekah bukan sahaja berben­tuk kewan­gan dan harta benda. Bahkan sedekah men­cakupi aspek tenaga, usaha, tin­dakan, ketelu­san dan ketu­lu­san dalam usaha mele­barkan man­faat buat diri, masyarakat serta umat manusia.

Sabda Rasu­l­ul­lah SAW yang bermak­sud, “Setiap kebaikan dan keba­jikan itu adalah sedekah.” Ini­lah prin­sip yang mesti dipegang oleh setiap Mus­lim agar setiap detik kehidu­pan itu terus-​menerus diberi gan­jaran pahala yang besar di sisi Allah. Ingat­lah, derma dari­pada seo­rang yang sedikit har­tanya lebih besar gan­jaran­nya dari­pada derma indi­vidu yang banyak har­tanya. Lalu, apa lagi alasan kita seba­gai Mus­lim? Bersedekahlah sebelum sam­pai nyawa di kerongkong.…Adakah si kaya ini gila ker­ana men­der­makan wang yang begitu banyak? Ataupun kita yang mabuk den­gan pen­car­ian wang secara mement­ingkan diri tanpa sebarang pemberian?

Simple, direct writing with reliable resources and referencing. I like the Q&A at the back where it includes everyday problems like donating organs etc.
