❓How does Allah multiply charity rewards 700 times?
Allah compares sincere charity to a grain that produces seven ears, each bearing 100 grains, totaling 700 grains from one seed. Similarly, Allah multiplies the reward of charity given in His way by 700 times or even more according to His will.
❓What is the parable of grain with seven ears?
The parable describes how one grain of wheat can grow into a plant with seven ears, each containing 100 grains. This illustrates how Allah multiplies the reward for those who spend their wealth in His cause, turning one good deed into 700 times the reward.
❓Why does Allah compare charity to growing grain?
The grain metaphor beautifully illustrates growth, multiplication, and harvest. Just as farmers sow seeds expecting abundant crops, believers who give charity in Allah's way can expect magnificent spiritual rewards that multiply far beyond their initial giving.
❓What does spending in Allah's way mean?
Spending in Allah's way includes giving for Islamic causes, supporting the poor and needy, funding religious education, helping in jihad (righteous struggle), performing Hajj, and any charitable spending done purely to seek Allah's pleasure.
❓Who gets the 700-fold reward for charity?
Those who spend their wealth in Allah's cause with sincere intention, seeking only Allah's pleasure without showing off, causing harm to recipients, or expecting worldly benefits in return, receive this magnificent multiplication of reward.
❓What does Allah being vast and knowing mean?
Allah is 'Wasi' (vast/all-encompassing) meaning His mercy and resources are limitless, and 'Aleem' (all-knowing) meaning He knows the intentions behind every act of charity and rewards accordingly based on sincerity and need.
❓How does charity grow like a planted seed?
Just as a farmer plants one seed expecting it to grow into a plant yielding many grains, charity given with pure intention grows in Allah's sight, multiplying in reward and bringing spiritual benefits that far exceed the original amount given.
❓Can Allah give more than 700 times reward?
Yes, the verse states 'Allah multiplies for whom He wills,' indicating that 700 times is a minimum example. Allah can increase rewards even more for those with exceptional sincerity, as His generosity is limitless.
