Almighty says; submit yourself to the welfare of the mankind. Almighty loves the submission of will and to sacrifice all that a person loves without any condition.
In a dream Abraham saw himself sacrificing his son. It was mere a dream but Abraham considered it a command from his lord. Although Ismail was replaced by a sheep but his devotion was considered of a high degree. So high that it is declared a Sunnat and is to be replicated till the day of judgement.
We people often claim about day to day donations and so called charity. In reality what we do? Donate our useless things or the petty amounts! For a naked poor we have the useless clothes. Even for a hungry fellow we have a food that have been kept for our pets or to throw it away. So it is ridiculous to say; Almighty is not showering the blessings although we are generous.
Hazrat Ali, the Muslim caliph was sitting by Fatima on her death bed. Fatima you have never asked for anything in your life said Ali. At least provide me an opportunity to serve you once in a life. Can you bring me a pomegranate said Fatima.
Ali left the home and stiff search he managed to get a piece of pomegranate from a fruit seller. On his way back home he saw an ailing person. Ali stopped for a while and asked for his wish.He too made the same wish.Ali parted the piece and served him the one. Finishing it the fellow asked for a more. Ali again made two pieces and served the one to the sick fellow but he wasn't satisfied yet. In the end Ali returned home empty handed but he had no sign of failure on his face. It was the only wish Fatima had made to him and it was he who had forced her to ask for a boon. He had failed to fulfill his own words but he was satisfied. For him the poor sick fellow was in more need for pomegranate as he had never tasted it. So was Ali and his acts raised him to the highest place of humanity.
The point to say is that a the best sacrifice is one that you love the most. Almighty is pleased when the most valuable or important thing is given away in the way of Allah.Condition is that the submission or the donation should be generous and there shall be no intention of rewards. Almighty is there to look after. He know all your needs so never expect any quick gains. Once you are in a real need you will accordingly be rewarded.
