The Alms Controversy

That night with moonlight and sowing stars on the sky. It's so beautiful, ALLAH The Great Knower. There was a man, His name was Karim. He just went out of his home. Previously Karim was  well-known as  like to do forbidden things by religion. However he had already realize and repent of sins now. He always prays together in the mosque frequently and learns to read Al-Qur'an, although with the kids which is younger from his age.

            That night, after he heard some explanations about The Prominently of Alms from a mosque leader, He want to do the right things. A mosque leader said,”If someone have one thousands Dirham and give of alms as much as three hundreds Dirham then three hundreds Dirham will be eternal and enjoyable in The Hereafter, and rest of Dirham will get nothing.”

            As long Karim well-known as rich man but very stingy, However since he repents of sins, he get intend and will be sacrifices all the things he has, in order to achieve ALLAH SWT willings. He plans with wealth a part to give of alms in ALLAH SWT ways.

            He direct of his steps into someone's house, he has already prepare a money bag to give of alms. Just arrive in front of the house, he knocks the door and a mustache's man appear then greetings each other. After that Karim give it to him then go back home.

            Next morning day people in the market talked about what Karim's did last night. Two peoples said with ridicule, they saw what Karim did last night. They said Karim didn't well known religion. He just make a mistake for give alms to a thief. If he wants a give alms, should be better to kindly people. That chat has already known by Karim, He just said inside of his heart, all of praise to Allah SWT Karim already give alms to thief.

            The next night day, Karim went outside again. He wanted to do some thing at night before. This time he picked up the house outside of the town. He knocked the door then a women opened it. He gave his alm and went back home. Next morning day, once again the people talk with sarcasm about what happened last night. They said, “Karim absolutely wrong, last night before ha gave his alms to a thief. Now, he gave his alms to a whore.” Once again Karim knows what people said, he just sweet sounding, “All the Praise to Allah SWT, Karim gave his alms to a whore.”

            At night, Karim went outside once again for give his alms. He chosen a house near the market. He gave his alms then he went back home. This time, Karim with hopefully didn't want make a mistake again.

            We see in the next morning. Obviously, People chat more uproar then before. A butcher said, “Never mind, Karim is so weird last night he gave his alms to a rich man. Whereas many poor people still need it to eat.”

            The house has been visited by Karim then gave of alms, obviously it was rich family house. Hear news from people at the market about Karim's mistake, he still said, “All the Praise to Allah SWT. I have been give of alms to a thief, a whore and a rich person.

            At night, he do a midnight prayer then he sleeps. He got a dream about someone who come and give a news to him. Your give of alms to a thief, make a thief didn't want to do that things again. Your give of alms to whore, make her realize, and your give of alms to a rich man, make a rich man realize and be shame. Now, that stingy rich people want to give of alms. Your give of alms will get Allah SWT willings.

            After that happening, Karim always do more good things. He realize that most important thing in act of devotion is intent to Allah SWT.  Along with good knowledge.

            Not just enough to be a follower. Then with all of your heart a soul and keep constantly only Allah have the right to know someone's acceptance or not. Allah The Great Knower.
