%adaqah for the Removing <strong>of</strong> difficulties<br />
This type <strong>of</strong> %adaqah is Lillah. One, at the time <strong>of</strong> donating, should ask<br />
All\h I to make easy one’s deliverance. This can be understood from<br />
the *ad|th:<br />
“%adaqah soothes the Lord’s anger and protects against a bad death.”<br />
at-Tirmidh|, al Bayhaq|<br />
%adaqah for the expiation <strong>of</strong> sins<br />
This type <strong>of</strong> %adaqah is also Lillah. One, at the time <strong>of</strong> donating,<br />
should ask All\h I to forgive one’s shortcomings. This can be<br />
understood from the verse:<br />
“Indeed good deeds take away bad deeds.”<br />
Qur’\n, H[d, 10:114<br />
Charity above the amount <strong>of</strong> Zak\h and %adaqah W\jibah.<br />
This type <strong>of</strong> %adaqah is the essence <strong>of</strong> Lillah. Although not categorized<br />
as necessary, this type <strong>of</strong> charity, as long as from pure means and with<br />
pure intentions, is always accepted by All\h I. It is also this type that<br />
All\h I has described as a beautiful debt. As He treats this charity as a<br />
loan which He will repay in the hereafter.<br />
“Who is he that will loan to Allah a beautiful loan,<br />
which He may multiply unto his credit many times?”<br />
Qur’\n, al Baqarah, 2:245<br />
“Who is he that will loan to Allah a beautiful loan?<br />
For (Allah) will increase it manifold to his credit,<br />
and he will have (besides) a liberal reward.<br />
Qur’\n, al *ad|d, 57:11<br />
