Chapter: | On knowing the secrets of Charity. |
Page 564 - from Volume One (Display Image)So he takes the Zakat from the first debtor who was given on the basis of obligatory charity by virtue of the obligation, that is, it is obligatory for him, and the second takes it by choosing the giver, as he distinguished him over others, especially in the doctrine of those who see in the number of these categories that the bank is limited to those mentioned, i.e. it is not permissible to give it to others, if it is given to one of them without They believe, and all of these are obligations, so the punishment is due to mercy for them without a doubt [ The path of God is all the paths of goodness that are close to God .]And in the cause of God, it is possible that he wants the mujahideen and spend from them in jihad, for the custom in the way of God according to the law is jihad and it is clearer in this verse, although he may want in the way of God all the ways of goodness that are close to God. The name that is God without any other of the most beautiful divine names, so He brings them out in what is required by noble morals without considering a category of creatures as God s provision for His servants, but rather what is required by the public interest of every human being, but for every animal and plant, even a tree he sees dying of thirst, so he has what he buys for it what he waters it with. The money of zakat is to be irrigated with that, for it is from the way of God, and there is no one who says this [ The lesser jihad and the greater jihad ]And if he wants the Mujahideen, then the Mujahideen are known by tradition, and the Mujahideen themselves also in the cause of God, so they help by that in jihad themselves. The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said: You have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad He wants to wage jihad against souls and oppose them in their purely purposes through God Almighty [ The wayfarer is the son of God s way. ]The wayfarer and the wayfarer are known, and they are in consideration the children of God s way, because the alif and the lam are for the definition, they are instead of the addition and their share of the zakat, which is the divine purity that we mentioned before. (Completed receipt) [Zakat on God s Rights]Then you may know, may God grant you success, that the matters in which a person disposes of are all God s rights, except that these rights, although they are many, are in some way limited to two parts, one of which is the right of creation for God, which is His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, that your soul has a right upon you, your eye has a right upon you, and your visitor has a right upon you And the other part is God s right to God, which is God s right His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, I have a time when only my Lord can help me [ The Eight Classes of Rights ]And this right that belongs to God is the zakat on the rights that belong to God s creation, and these rights are in their entirety in eight categories of knowledge and action, and they are like gold and silver, and animals are soul, soul and body in comparison to sheep, cows, and camels, and from plants, wheat, barley and dates. [ What the spirits, souls and limbs awaken from ]In consideration of what the spirits, souls, and raptors inculcate from knowledge, thoughts, and deeds, sheep for the soul, cows for the soul, and camels for the body. And they are the victims of this nation. Do you not see them also? I have made God s right in camels, and he is in every five a goat, and I have made a hundred camels for the sacrifice of a soul, not by a messenger or a prophet. [ Sheep and camel resting places ]then The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded us to pray in the sheep s stables Prayer is a closeness to God, and its places are the mosques of God. The sheep s resting places are among the mosques of God. They have the degree of kinship, and camels do not have this rank, even if they are greater in character. That is why we made them for bodies. Do you not see that from their names the body and the body are called the body and the body from the world of nature and nature between them and God are two degrees of the world and they are the soul The mind is in the third degree of closeness, as it is far from the divine proximity Do you not see that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, forbade praying in camel yards? The reason for this is that they are devils and the devil is far away. It is said that the Shatoon rookery is far from the bottom, and prayer is nearness to God, and distance contradicts proximity, so it is forbidden to pray in the camel pits because of the distance in it. [ natural body and soul ]The same applies to the natural body, where is it from the degree of proximity to the soul, which is the mind, for it is the first existing, and it is the breath of it in his saying, and I breathed into it from My soul, so we made the soul like a ram and the body like a camel. [ The cows in the interview of the souls ]And as for the fact that the cows are in opposition to souls and they are below sheep in rank and above camels, as the soul is above the body and without the mind, which is the divine spirit, and that when the Children of Israel killed a soul and fought in it, God commanded them to slaughter a cow and strike the dead with part of it, so that he may live by God s permission. |
