Bismillah hirehmaniraheem,
How a simple intention can change your worldly life and your hereafter!
Abu Masood (RAA) is reported to have said that the Prophet (SAW) said: when a man spends on his family with the intention of seeking reward from Allah Subha na wa taa'laa, then his spending for him will give him the reward of giving sadakah.
(bukhari)
Isn't that a good two in one, hehehe... i mean you fullfill your RESPONSIBILITY of raising your family and with the right intention, you can earn the reward for giving sadakah.
Don't ever underestimate the power of intention, it can make the simplest of actions more meaningful for you.
something as simple as getting a glass of water for your thristy brother and sister, or asisting someone in their need, or making a beautiful comment to bring a smile to someone's face, or giving salam to someone, and giving them your full attention during the conversation, none of us can know the power of these simple actions on our lives, may Allah help us pay attention to even things as small as these, despite of how unimportant they may seem like and earn the rewrad for these actions!!!
