{Islamic Mailing Group} Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan?

An opportunity to invest for the Hereafter.

Blessed are those who Allah has granted wealth and thy use it in the way He likes Best.

Allah encourages His servants to spend in His cause.
Allah says:
"Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return." [Surah al-Baqarah: 245]
Spending in the Allah's way is called "a beautiful loan".

When this verse was revealed, Abu Ad-Dahdah Al-Ansari said: `O Allah's Messenger (P.B.U.H)! Does Allah ask us for a loan?' The Prophet said, (Yes, O Abu Ad-Dahdah.)  He said: `Give me your hand, O Allah's Messenger' and the Prophet placed his hand in his hand. Abu Ad-Dahdah said, `Verily, I have given my garden as a loan to my Lord.' He had a garden that contained six hundred date trees; his wife and children were living in that garden too. Abu Ad-Dahdah went to his wife and called her: `Umm Ad-Dahdah!' She said: `Here I am.' He said: `Leave the garden, because I have given it as a loan to my Lord, the Exalted and Most Honored.' She said: `That is a successful trade, O Abu Ad-Dahdah!' She then transferred her goods and children. The Messenger of Allah said: "How plentiful are the sweet date clusters that Abu Ad-Dahdah has in Paradise!" In another narration, the Prophet said: "How many a date tree that has lowered down its clusters, which are full of pearls and gems in Paradise for Abu Ad-Dahdah!" [Tafsir ibn kathir]
