Assalamualaikum.
I am very tired of yesterday. Yeah , many things happen. One thing that I realize each morning during these holidays was I only wakes up after the clock strikes 12. About this matter , it will come in my next next post. Yeah , Know what ? This post actually have been in my draft for almost a week since I went for a holiday at Penang.
So , what's up about giving donations ? Yeah , its okay to give donations to everyone , right ? But for me , I only choose the only rightful person to receive donations from me. Wonder why ? Let me make you ask yourself.
Have you ever been into streets that is full of beggars ? I'm sure you have. What is your perception about them ? I know , some of you may say that they're disgusting etc etc. What if you go to an orphanage society ? Will you ever feel to donate any things ? Have you ever wondered whether the beggars should receive donations ? or , the rights of the orphanage to receive donations ? Between beggars and orphanage , whic do you prefer to donate ? Have you ever ask yourself that kind of questions ?
For me , I'd choose the orphanage more. Yes , in Islam , we should give donations to those who is in need. But , think again , who is more in need of money ? The beggar who can find food by their own self or the orphanage who has lost their parents tragically ?
So , my main topic here , donations are actually some kind of money where we give sincerely to some society. But what if we , as a human , who ask for donations ? Should we force someone to give donations ? Or , if not forcing , should we say demanding some big companies to donate you in a certain amount of cash ? That is totally wrong ! Why ? Allah has told us , the ummah , we should not force anyone to give donations or even ask for donations with a certain amount. Example :
" Sir , the minimum amount of donations is RM200 "
That should not suppose to happen. Why ? It makes the person who wanted to donate , donates unsincerely. Okay , in malay , DERMA TAK IKHLAS.
So , if we in any society or any clubs who needs donation , just ask to anybody without demanding any amount of cash or anything.
We should actually appreciate the people who donated us even if they donate 10 cents. Wonder why ? if you don't have that 10 cents , it won't make a ringgit. It'll be 90 cents. Okay , maybe it's just a bit. What if you have RM 999,999.90. You'll be needing that 10 cents to make it become RM1,000,000 right ? So , even if someone donates 10 cents , just take it and appreciate it. Okay ?
ashamed of people these days who demand for donations,
Ey Asyraf.
what we could have been, 5:12 pm.
