Hadith of the Day: Loving the Poor


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "O God, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man and resurrect me in the company of the poor." His wife asked him why he said that, and he replied: "Because (the poor) will enter Paradise (before) the rich. Do not turn away a poor man ... even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you ... God will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection." Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1376

  1. Oh ALLAH almighty when i am poor i want to be rich to help the poor but when i get rich my heart will be as small as like a coin so please open my heart in your way and make my hand open to help all the poor around me.
