The More You Give, The More You'll Get

"Hidup untuk memberi sebanyak mungkin..” – Laskar Pelangi

["Live to give as much as possible.." - (from the Indonesian movie 'Laskar Pelangi' which means 'Rainbow Warriors')]


A few days ago, this random thought came into my mind... I was thinking of the reality of the meaning of the phrase 'The more you give, the more you get' and found it amazingly true.

Some people may think that if you keep giving you'll keep losing, unless you're less fortunate then I suggest you save up first. But I thought, when we give others, which are usually in the form of gifts, and it usually makes them happy (I think it must make people happy, how can a gift be disappointing unless the person is expressionless or the gift is not so a gift itself), then wouldn't you be rewarded for it as a deed?

And I don't think your gift costs more than the reward by Allaah, maybe unless your intentions are faulty...and Allaah Knows Best.

So you give here, in your life, your rewards awaits you in the Hereafter InshaaAllaah, and Allaah Knows Best...

That's why in the movie 'Laskar Pelangi', the wise old man in the story emphasizes on how you should try to give as much as you can in your life, I guess because you'll be rewarded better in Hereafter...

And you shouldn't just think of those pretty boxes with ribbons that gives you excitement and suspense to what's in the inside, gifts doesn't have to be materialistic! Helping others can be in a form of a gift too, and there are many ways to help others.

I'm just reminding to my ability, and InshaaAllaah there's no mistakes in here as I'm spreading this thought...

And we often forget that indeed Allaah is truly Ar-Rahman; the Gracious, the One who gives a lot, the One who gives according to His Will...

Just ponder over the earlier words, and realise how simple it is for Allaah to reward us. He's just waiting for us to remember Him, and do things because of Him... Indeed He is Ar-Rahman... And also Ar-Raheem; The Merciful, The Most Forgiving...and He is More than just that, more than we can imagine...

InshaaAllaah, we all will improve to be better Muslims, to be the grateful creation of The Creator, and InshaaAllaah this benefits...

And Allaah Knows Best

And may the blessings of Allaah be upon you, and may He grant us good tidings and let us all die in Fitrah, in Islaam, in Imaan...
