Self-sacrifice is to prioritize the needs of others over one's personal needs in order to gain the love, knowledge, pleasure and pleasure of the Almighty.
Of course, this is a kind of generosity, but in general the difference between generosity and self-sacrifice is that generosity is done when you have a considerable amount of wealth, while self-sacrifice is hungry, thirsty and in dire need. Despite being poor, he asks his Muslim brother to meet his needs. In this respect, it is the highest degree of generosity, generosity and generosity.
This process is the bright chapter of Islamic society by the radiance of which the faces of the people of Islam are shining in the world. Like other virtues and good qualities, self-sacrifice is also the most effective means of identifying the believers and preaching the religion.
With its wealth, the society moves from misery to happiness, from corruption to peace, from degradation to progress, from restlessness to relief and from indifference to realization, ie grief disappears and happiness is born. Today's modern world is striving for mutual love, but this dream can never be realized without following the Islamic way of life and Islamic teachings. Because the religion of Islam not only presents the ideology of coexistence but also teaches the adoption of this ideology.
An important lesson in the teachings of Islam is self-sacrifice and compassion. In view of its social importance and necessity, it has been indoctrinated in the Holy Qur'an and the hadiths.
The Holy Qur'an, along with other attributes of the believers (Ansar al-Madinah), praises the spirit of self-sacrifice and compassion, describing it in great detail: “He, despite being hungry, thirsty and in dire need, They prefer their Muslim brothers (to meet their needs). (Surat al-Hashr) Although this verse was revealed on a special occasion, but the style of the Qur'anic injunctions is that it is meant to educate the entire Ummah.
A long hadith has been narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurayrah regarding the revelation of this verse. In which a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allaah! I'm hungry. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) informed them from all his houses, but they did not find anything there.
A Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) asked or I will entertain the Messenger (may peace be upon him). He took them home and told his wife that they were the guests of the Holy Prophet (saw) so that their hospitality would not be diminished and they would not hide anything. The wife said, "By God, I have kept a little for the children and nothing in the house." He said that the children should be entertained and put to sleep and when they fall asleep they will take food and sit with the guest and then get up under the pretext of fixing the lamp and turn it off. So the wife did so and both husband and wife and children spent the night starving. And revealed the verse of the Holy Qur'an, يَؤِثِرْونَ عَلَى َنَنفْسِهِم. (Sahih Bukhari)
Below the same verse, Imam Nasfi narrates an incident in Tafsir Madarik al-Tanzil that Abu Zayd says: A young man from Balkh asked me, "What is your asceticism?" So I replied that when they get it they eat it and when they don't get it they are patient. So he started telling me that it is also found in the dogs of Balkh. Then he said that asceticism is that when we do not get it, we are patient and when we get it, we are selfless.
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (RA) that once he gave a man a large herd of goats which was spread between two mountains, and that person was blessed with this generous generosity and selflessness of his. He was so impressed that he went to his people and said: “O people! Convert to Islam because (those who call to this religion) Muhammad (are so generous and) give so much that they do not even care about being poor. (Sahih Muslim)
The selflessness and compassion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was not limited to his own caste. By strictly binding it to his family and close relatives, he gave a clear message to the whole world on the Day of Judgment that human service such as self-sacrifice and compassion should not be sacrificed merely for political interests and rhetoric. They are the flowers whose wealth brings springs to the garden of one's practical life.
In a long narration mentioned by Hazrat Ali (RA) there is a bar and Syeda Fatima both came to his service. I asked, O Messenger of Allah! Fatima has blisters on her hands while grinding. Appoint for us some of the slaves who have come in the booty (of the recent expedition). So he said: “By God! I can't give you How do i give it to you While the people of Safa are starving. (Currently) I don't have anything that I can spend on them, I will sell these slaves and spend their money on the people of Safa. ”(Musnad Ahmad)
Consider! Despite the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) knew very well that his beloved son was suffering from hardships and hardships, but in spite of all this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) Preferred
Day and night, we often find moments in which we can easily follow this Islamic command, but due to the slightest negligence, we do not benefit from these moments. With this in mind, if you look at the day and night of your life, you will find dozens of such opportunities. There are a few services offered.
When queuing to pay bills. When drinking water etc. at a local place. When taking a bargain from a shop etc. Attending an event, etc. When sitting on a seat in a bus, van or train etc. while traveling. When taking a prescription or medicine in a hospital etc. When talking in a meeting. When attending a group event. In everyday life, wherever you and any other Muslim brother are equal partners, give priority to your brother, taking care of his needs. Will also fit
These opportunities require a little self-sacrifice from us. Want a modest sacrifice, if we all, especially the religious class, decide that we will adopt the attribute of selflessness and compassion, then believe that the world will believe that Islam is not just a religion of worship but beauty Society is also its beacon
