al-Fawāʾid — Points of Benefit, Volume One

Ibn al-Qayyim · Timeless Classics

1. "For had it been obtained without continuing to fulfil the commands, they would have needed no prayer thereafter, no fasting, no pilgrimage, no almsgiving, no struggle in God's cause — and that is absurd. And among the most obligatory of duties is repentance after sin; so the guarantee of forgiveness does not require the abandoning of the means of forgiveness."

Futūḥ al-Ghayb — Revelations of the Unseen

Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani · Timeless Classics

1. "nor neglecting His command in it, and then fulfilling its rights through almsgiving, expiation of sins, vows, charity, and aiding the distressed. And attending to the needs of those in distress during times of hardship, when circumstances change and good conditions turn into adversity, I mean the hours of blessings and ease into hardship and affliction."

Book 5: The Mysteries of Zakat

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din

1. "The Prophet said, "Allah does not accept from someone who shows off, nor from a braggart, nor from a reminder of their generosity. This exact text could not be found. His deeds are rendered null, for zakat, or almsgiving, is a removal of miserliness and a weakening of the love of wealth."

Book 32: Patience and Gratitude

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din

1. "The Sharia encourages actions and praises their virtues, like almsgiving, to treat the ailments of the heart. Actions are like medicine prescribed by a physician—not desired for their own sake but for the healing they bring."
