Surah Al-Hadid 57:11 - مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ وَلَهُ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him ? and He will have a noble reward.

In the above verse, Allah SWT asks His slaves to lend a goodly loan to Him that He promises to multiply and repay with noble reward. It is to be noted that Allah is the Owner of heavens & the earth and everything in it. He is a Provider and Sustainer. He is free of all needs. However, for the sake of His poor and needy slaves & to teach mankind to help others in need, He is asking His slaves to lend Him money.

Due to Covid-19 and Lockdowns related to it, many families were impacted financially. As per the teachings of Mahdavia faith, asking or displaying need ( “ sawal aur surat-e-sawal “ ) are strictly forbidden. Hence many mahdavies do not even ask or seek anything from others even when they are in dire need.

Every year, Mahdavies around the world organize Farz Dugana-e-Lailatul Qadr events in stadiums ,banquet halls and hotels. However, this year it is not possible to organize an event on a large scale. So my suggestion to the organisers of Farz Dugana-e-Lailatul Qadr events across the world, is to consider donating the money intended for arranging this year’s events to the poor and needy of our mahdavia community. Moreover, Allah SWT increases the reward if we search for deserving people who out of self-respect do not ask for charity in India & Pakistan and provide them money or ration Lillah.

Furthermore, I would also suggest all mahdavi brothers & sisters to search and give their Zakaat & Fitra to the deserving and needy people in our Mahdavia community in India & Pakistan.
Jazakallah,
Your brother in faith
