Praise be to Allah, Alone, and peace and blessings be upon the Final Prophet, his family, and all Companions.
The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allâh, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allâh gives manifold increase to whom He wills.
Mu'minun (believers) in their mutual love, mercy and compassion are like one body: when any part complains (is in pain), the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.
A Mu'min (believer) to another Mu'min is like a building whose different parts enforce each other; and he (the Prophet) intertwined his fingers.
Whoever equips a warrior (one striving/fighting in the Cause of Allah) has fought himself, and whoever is left behind to take care of a warrior's family has fought himself.
Therefore, supporting the Afghan Mujahidin (those striving/fighting in the Cause of Allah) and the migrants is one of the best charitable and pious acts, if it is offered in the form of Zakah (obligatory charity) or any other form. The wisdom of giving Zakah (obligatory charity) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) in Islam is to make a Muslim feel bonded to their fellow Muslims by sharing their pain, distress and calamities, which cause the Muslims' hearts to relent and act kindly toward them, and to donate from what Allah (Exalted be He) has bestowed upon them with a willing heart and soul that is assured with Iman (faith).
The Afghan Mujahidin and migrants among them may Allah grant all of them success suffer from serious problems in their lives, but they endure them despite the fact that their enemy, the enemy of the Din (religion of Islam), strikes them severely with its weapons and all its destructive power. Nevertheless, they praise be to Allah maintain their stand and persist in their Jihad, as reported by the media and people who have shared the Jihad with them without failure or slackness. Yet, their problem has risen as a result of the destruction and ruination caused to their homes by the Russian weapons and warplanes, not to mention the poverty that befalls their people, driving them out of their homes in masses to Pakistan and other countries. The latest news reports about the Afghan refugees has taken the number to more than three millions in Pakistan alone. All of them are now homeless. The only source of livelihood remaining is the aid offered by some generous people.
I hereby issue a call to our fellow Muslims everywhere to support their Afghan brothers from (the sustenance) which Allah has bestowed upon them. One of the means of doing this is the Zakah which Allah (Exalted be He) has enjoined on their money to be distributed to the eight categories of Zakah recipients, specified by Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) in Surah AlTawbah, under which our Afghan Mujahidin and refugees fall.
And those in whose wealth there is a recognised right For the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth, (and his means of living has been straitened).
Believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ), and spend of that whereof He has made you trustees. And such of you as believe and spend (in Allâh's Way), theirs will be a great reward.
Thus, Allah (Exalted be He) rewards a Muslim for what he or she donates to fellow Muslims during their lifetime and in the Hereafter, where they find their reward with Him on the Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail except who comes to Allah with a clean heart [from Shirk and hypocrisy]. Allah (Exalted be He) also wards off some of the worldly inflictions that could have happened to their selves, money and children, because of His Grace and virtue of their charitable acts.
Money does not decrease from charity
Charity quenches sins as water quenches fire
Shield yourself against Hellfire, even with half a date (i.e. by donating half a date)
Your Afghan fellow Muslims are suffering the pains of hunger, alienation and severe war. They are in bad need of clothing, food and medicine. The Mujahidin are also in need of these things in addition to weapons to fight their enemies, the enemies of Allah. So give them generously of what Allah (Exalted be He) has bestowed upon you, and be kind to them, may Allah bless you. Follow the pattern of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in his care of those who had the same conditions of the Afghan refugees who have been displaced from their country.
While we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in the early hours of the morning, some people came there (who) were naked, wearing striped woolen clothes, or cloaks, with their swords hung (around their necks). Most of them belonged to Mudar, nay, they all belong to Mudar. The color of the Messenger of Allah's (may peace be upon him) face underwent a change when he saw them in such poverty. He then entered (his house) and came out and commanded Bilal (to pronounce Adhan) who pronounced Adhan (call to prayer) and Iqamah (call to start prayer). After he (peace be upon him) had observed prayer (along with his Companion), he delivered a Khutbah (sermon) (in which) he said:
