MOTIVATION

Would you like to be like a mujahid or like those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying?
“One who cares for widows and the poor is like those who fight in the way of Allah or those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying.” [Adab al-Mufrad of Imaam Al-Bukhari in chapter "The Virtue of Those Who Care for Orphans"]

Would you like your heart to soften and Allah to answer your prayers?
A man once came to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and complained that he feels hardness in his heart. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, what translated means, “Would you like that your heart becomes soft and that you acquire what you need? Be merciful with the orphan, pat his head and feed him from what you eat. This will soften your heart, and enable you to get what you need.” [At-Tabarani & As-Silsilah as-Sahihah]

Would you like Allah to remove one of your griefs on the Day of Judgment?
“Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment” [Saheeh Muslim]

Would you like forgiveness and bounty from Allah?
“The Devil promises you poverty and enjoins you on lewdness. But Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower.” [Qur'an 2:268]

Would you like angels to pray for you?
“No day dawns upon [Allah's] servants without two angels descending [to Earth]. One of them says, ‘O Allah, give recompense to those who give [charity]!’; the other says, ‘O Allah give loss to those who withhold [charity]!’” [Agreed upon]

Would you like to be in the Paradise with our beloved Prophet (pbuh) and the best of creation?
“I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaari]
