Ayah: 7

وَيَمۡنَعُونَ ٱلۡمَاعُونَ

7. and withhold the simplest aid⁴ to others (let alone the Zakah - the alms)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 Allāh (God) only without excepting any return from the people. Let’s ask Allāh 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 Allāh by treating them with dignity and care.
5. Allāh 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 Allāh and see how He will use our acts of love to sew hearts and lives together."
