We'll keep this one super simple. We know that for many people it's the 27th tonight, and that the vast majority of scholars historically considered the 27th night to be Laylatul Qadr.

Friend Most of us do some form of budgeting or computation around their Sadaqah and generosity. Should we give? How much should we give?

But this is one night on which you DON'T want to be doing that. You want to feel the discomfort of giving. The discomfort of living truly by Islamic evidences such as the following:

"Sadaqah NEVER decreases wealth" (Muslim)

“Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan - it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.” (Al Hadeed 57:18)

“The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of the men; and he was the most generous during the month of Ramadan...” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Friend Giving even $1 tonight can lead to 100s of thousands times (yes, multiples!) of rewards. Imagine giving more.

So tonight, here's what we encourage you do.... think twice about how much you want to give. And then give it any way :)

Support our work to create a self-sustaining, loving and healthy community right here in Australia.

May Allah accept your worship on this auspicious night! Ameen.
