Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh!
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
The charity of those
who expend their wealth in the way of Allah*1
may be likened to a grain of corn,
which produces seven ears
and each ear yields a hundred grains.
Likewise Allah develops manifold
the charity of anyone He pleases,
for He is All-Embracing, All-Wise.*2
(Surah-2 Al-Baqarah ~ Ayah-261)
Explanation:
*1-A great many expenditures fall under the category of
spending 'in the way of Allah',
as long as this is done according to the laws of Allah
and with the intention of seeking His good pleasure.
This includes spending one's wealth to fulfil one's legitimate needs,
to provide for one's family, to look after the needs of relatives, to help the
needy
and to contribute to the general welfare and to spread the true religion and so
on.
*2- The greater the sincerity and the more intense the feeling with which
one spends for the sake of Allah, the greater will be Allah's reward.
It is not difficult at all for Allah,
Who blesses a grain so that out of it seven hundred grains grow,
to allow one's charity to grow in like manner
so that the unit of money one spends will return seven hundred fold.
This statement is followed by a mention of two of Allah's attributes.
First is His munificence. His Hand is not clenched so as to restrain Him
from recompensing man for his deeds to the fullest extent that he deserves.
Second, Allah is All-Knowing.
He is not unaware of what one spends and the spirit in which one spends.
So there is no reason to fear that one will not receive one's due reward.
