Poem: The Upper Hand That Gives Is Better Than The Lower Hand That Receives

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Never regret being nice to another Muslim, 
And don't assume that those who receive freebies often 
Are fortunate to consume much of life's enjoyment. 
Giving hands are better than hands that keep on taking. 
Takers miss out on rewards which givers love gaining.
~•~
Better to be the kind person earning Allah's Love 
Than a poor beggar or taker who enjoys free stuff. 
Instead of questioning why so-and-so took a lot 
Of benefits from you or others, while you just got 
Few or naught, know Allah planned it and He's the Most Just.
~•~
Thank Allah for opportunities where you're inspired 
To share a dish with Muslims, help, and offer advice. 
Find every chance to be helpful, generous and kind, 
To be closer to Allah, and so in Paradise 
You join pleasant souls who weren't selfish with their lives.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There is not a day upon which the servant awakens but that two angels descend. One of them says: 'O Allah, reward one who spends in charity!' The other says: 'O Allah, destroy one who withholds charity!'"
