The people who are generous and charitable inspire hope in hard times. The people who secretly give charity, in such a way that if they give by their right hand, the left hand doesn’t know, are saviours for the milliards of poor people who roam around the streets and are on the increase daily. Such people are finding a gradual and partial solution for thousands and millions of people; and at the same time are reaping rewards from Allah in the world and Hereafter.

It is for this reason that we have tried to site real life events throughout the ages, so that others are motivated to follow suit.

Shall we then not answer the call of the Holy Qur’an which says: “they shall be rewarded with high places because they were patient, and shall be met there in with greetings and salutations” (Sura al-Furqan, 25:75-76) The course of the book in hand deals with six chapters: The first chapter of this book deals with people who sowed the seeds of charity in this world, in order to form a bridge to benefit from, in the hereafter.

The second chapter deals with events and stories related by various sources, which show the connection between the people who are alive and dead, and how we can perform certain acts which can directly benefit the dead people. The third chapter deals with the deep connection between charity and protection from problems, mishaps and misfortunes. The fourth chapter deals with the unseen or spiritual connection between the giving of charity and increase in sustenance.

The fifth chapter deals with the efforts exerted by our great Islamic Scholars to serve others and sacrifice their wealth and possessions in order to encourage and motivate others to do the same. The sixth chapter deals with people who have done service to the family of the (S) and how they have got worldly and spiritual returns. [^1]: Wasaail Al-Shia, 206/6 [^2]: Al Wasail, Vol. 6…
