Islamic Stories, - The way he moved from here to there

Sahl Ibne Adbullah Tusturi Rahmatullah alaihe used to spend liberally
in the path of Allah Ta'ala. His mother and brothers complained to
Abdullah Ibne Mubarak Rahmatullah alihe that Sahl wanted to spend
everything and they feared he would becomea pauper. Abdullah Ibne
Mubarak Rahmatullah alihe enquired from SahlRahmatullah alihe about
the matter. The lattar asked Abdullah Ibne Mubarak, "If a person
wanted to migrate from Madinah to the city of Rustaqq in Persia,
wherehe had already purchased land, would he leave anything behind in
Madinah?" Thereply was that nothing would be left behind. Sahl
Rahmatullah alaihe then said that was his real purpose. While the
people thought he was going to migrate to another place, he had
actually meant transfer to the next world. In these days, people have
personal experience of itthat when people who wish to move permanently
from one country to another (eg. England to Canada) by their own
choice, they try to transfer all their belongings and property,
buildings, etc, by exchanging with those at the new locations, before
actual migration. This is exactlythe state of affairs of every single
person leaving this world. As long as he is living, he has the power
to transfer his property andbelongings, etc., to the next world
(Akhira).
- Virtues of Charity, by Shaikh-ul-Hadith Muhammad Zakariyya (RA.)
Such was also the case ofAbu Bakr (RA) who gave away everything in the
path of Allah. We can't immitate these individuals to the full extent,
however we can always try. May Allah give us the ability to be
generous in giving charity. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
