Before the Sadaqa reaches the one who needs it, it reaches the hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’alah first:

 - *A true story* Let me tell you a story about a teacher This teacher was trying to collect money from other teachers to furnish the Musallah (prayer room) of the school and fix an AC unit. She said: I never gave up; I used to talk to the teachers every day and remind them of the great reward of this deed. I was collecting bit by bit hoping to reach the needed target, it took me almost a month. One day one of my colleagues said: Enough, you are really disturbing us! You keep asking all the time. I said: WAllahi it’s a great cause and it is the path to Jannah in shaa Allah, give anything even if it’s one Riyal. She said if I give you a Riyal would you leave us alone. I answered: Yes, in shaa Allah. She then took a Riyal from her handbag and threw it at me! The teacher who was collecting the money says: I completed collection from my family and friends and Alhamdulilah I managed to collect what I thought would be enough to furnish the Musallah and buy the AC unit. Then she says: WAl...

They had nothing much to show, but what they did, mattered to Allah:

May Allah bless you and your family with good health, happiness and honour.  May this day be very special for you in more ways than you thought. Smile and enjoy.  Abu Hurairah(ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah(sa) said : "Charity does not diminish wealth. Allah does not increase a man in anything for his pardoning (others) but in honour, and none humbles himself for Allah but Allah raises him". (Tirmidhi V4 H2029) Allah blesses acts of alms giving and charity and makes them the cause of increases in wealth rather than decrease in it. Similarly, the act of forgiving and pardoning a wrong doer from a position of strength is the cause of increase in a man's honour and prestige.  ALWAYS LOOK AT THE GOOD IN OTHERS. . . There are no automatic passports to Jannah. A person earned the favor of Jannah just by quenching the thirst of a dog,  another earned it by just forgiving everyone daily before going to bed. They had nothing much to show, but what they did, mattered...

All wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth:

  From the   Islamic point of view, even though man can have private ownership rights to the wealth, however, Allah has clearly laid down the terms of trust. This is because, in Islam, all wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth. On this point, Islam prescribes ways to carry out the trust so that a person has no right to use it to satisfy his whims. He has to observe the Divine commandments. If the violation is serious,  hence, his inability to use his wealth properly provides the basis for the forfeiture of his right to his wealth.  For those whom Allah has blessed with wealth, it is a test; and Muslims should strive to pass this test by not becoming worshipers of hoarded wealth.  Note: The above is taken from below Source.

How does Allah Ta’ala increase when He accepts the sadaqah!:

- It is a story from 1282 Hijri, that is, 160 years ago. There was a noble and righteous woman named Munira in the city of Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. She intended to bequeath her jewellery to her brother before she died and instructed him to buy a shop from that money. Whatever income would come from this shop would be spent to fulfill the needs of masakeen.  After her death, her brother sold the jewellery and bought a shop in the name of his sister, which was worth twelve riyals according to the currency of the period. He rented the shop and the rent money was used to attend to the needs of masakeen. This continued for nearly 100 years. After 100 years, the monthly rent of the shop had reached 15,000 riyals and through this money more things were provided for the needy. Then came the day when the Saudi government decided to expand the Mosque of Buraidah and decided to acquire land and shops within the vicinity of the expansion site. The shop of the deceased woman was within the bound...

Do you allocate charity amount from your salary? Charity will be a shadow on the Day of Resurrection, and will save its giver from the fire:

 * Procedure to save salary till the end of the month * (Translated from Arabic) This is the case of a young Saudi man, he was not satisfied with his life, his salary was only four thousand riyals, his expenses due to being married were much more than his salary, before the end of the month His salary would go down and he would have to borrow, so he was slowly sinking into debt and becoming convinced that his life would be the same now - despite his wife's material condition. Thoughts, but the burden of debt is hard to breathe - One day he went to a meeting of his friends, there was a friend there, that day who was a man of wise opinion and the young man said that I valued the advice of my friend - He said: I told him my story in words and put my financial difficulties before him, he listened to me and said that my opinion is that you should set aside some of your salary for charity - this Saudi The young man said in surprise: Sir, I have to take a loan to cover the expenses of the...
