Generosity, Waste money and love of the world
The definition of generosity is to give more than what is necessary, with the intention that it is for Allah or to lower miserliness without excessiveness.
One of the audience said it is to give more than what could be expected
The highest level is pay out when in need yourself; this is ethar
Greed is punishable so we should try to remove it
Whoever dies upon doing something is resurrected upon it
Israf is to give out when it is necessary to keep on prohibited
Israf is prohibited by consensus
“Verily spendthrifts are brothers of satans.” Isra 17:27
A bad death is:
1. Die disbeliever
2. Die sinning
3. Die of an extreme illness
Gambling, wasting on food that you do not eat both are kinds of israf
Israf is caused by: ignorance, lack of intelligence, showing off, laziness, ashamed – because of the clothes of last year and weak faith
Love of the world/Dunya
You can want to help others or yourself
“The world is a place; for he without a place.”
Only the mad gather it!
