7. And refuse to give (the simplest) aid⁴ (of a donation, let alone the Zakah - the poor-rate)⁵.

4. When we are moved to supply the needs of another, we are to “not treat it like a business deal” and should make no gain or profit from it. We should do it for the sake of Allah (God) only without excepting any return from the people. Let’s ask Allah to open our eyes and hearts to see how we can ease the pain of those who are suffering. Whether we seek to meet the needs of many or those of a single person, we honor Allah by treating them with dignity and care. Muhammad, the Messenger of God (ﷺ), said:
"Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Rabb (Lord), and how should I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: Rabbi (Lord), how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me to drink and you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Rabb (Lord), how should I give You to drink when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and you gave him not to drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with Me."
5. Allah calls and equips us to use our talents and skills to meet needs that are present in our community and world. Let’s release our skills into the service of Allah and see how He will use our acts of love to sew hearts and lives together."
