zad

The writer Islam Jamal reviews in his book Zad a form of worship that people almost overlooked as worship and trade with Allah at the same time, which is charity.
With each idea, the reader is presented with a contemporary story or from the Islamic heritage, without neglecting to cite the verses of the Holy Qur’an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, Allah peace be upon him.

The book is easy, simple and fun, and contains mostly stories with a lesson that the writer used to present the style of guidance, exhortation and direct advice that people are tired of. Most of them are stories about the virtue of charity and spending in the doors of goodness and the benefit of that in this world and the hereafter.

The writer emphasizes the idea that wealth is a true Islamic requirement, and that religion encouraged people and urged them to work and earn a living, and mentioned more than once that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to seek refuge from poverty from disbelief. Here, the writer Islam Gamal differentiates between the rich ascetic and the destitute ascetic, and how the second is wrong in understanding asceticism wrongly by leaving the quest and limiting living to subsistence
