Give

Khuda gives us 40 and we give 1 back to him.  Khuda can do literally anything.  Why didn't we just get 39?

There's a lot to this 1 of 40.  The numbers aren't really that important.  We can count it up and put it in different buckets and get to some other numbers.   An important part is the giving is up to us.  We get to choose to give just like we get to choose to do namaz or any other good thing.

Giving isn't just money.  It's trust.  It's love.  It's happiness.  It's opportunity.  It's kindness.

Money does seem like the hardest to give.  It gets easier to give money the more you do it.  It's hard every time though.  Giving is easier when we internalize that money isn't ours to begin with.  Khuda gives it to us.

The thing is that giving to good things always comes back to the giver.  It's hardest with money because it's not necessarily a straight line or even observable, but it always does come back.

Taher, giving money is hard.  Do it.  It will come back to you.
