13 Kon Hain Wo Log Jo Kharach Karty Hain Allah Ki Raah Main

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in the Quran, spending in the way of Allah despite loving one's wealth is emphasized. It is not about giving out of love for Allah, but rather giving despite the love for wealth. Wealth and possessions are naturally beloved to humans, but true sacrifice is spending in the way of Allah against this love. This act of spending despite loving wealth is a form of striving and self-discipline in Islam.
