What Allah tells the poor on the Day of Judgment

Salamun alaykum, wa Rahmat Ullah. Many times when we come across somebody who might be financially struggling, we might assume that their life has nothing to do with our life, and because of that, we may not care for them as much as we can, or help them out as much as we can.

But the reality is that Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala is watching us to see how we treat that individual.

In a beautiful hadith, the 6th Imam says that on the day of Judgment, Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala will call for His poor servants. And when these poor servants gather in one place, He will address them and He will tell them that I did not have you struggle in this world to dishonor you. It was the opposite of that. It was because I wanted you to be amongst the chosen in this world. And therefore, you have the rights today, to look amongst people, and whoever helped you in this world, you can take their hand and take them into Heaven.

We pray to Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala that we can help those who are less fortunate. Wa as-salamu alaykum, wa Rahmat Ullah.
