Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam said:
"Sadaqah does not decrease wealth. (Muslim)"
We learn from this Hadīth that no one will ever suffer financial loss due to spending in the Path of Allāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. This principle is absolute. Financial experts and economists may not agree, but the words of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam can never be wrong. The intellect says that spending, whether in worldly matters or for Sadaqah, decreases one’s wealth. It calculates that someone with £1,000 who spends £100 on helping an orphan or widow, or on building a masjid, will be left with £900, so spending decreases wealth. However, we believe in the statement of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam that Sadaqah does not decrease wealth. The thought that it does, comes from Shaytān, and is in direct contradiction to the teachings of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam.

Rajab is the seventh month in the Islamic lunar calendar. This month was regarded as one of the sacred months (Al-Ashhur-al-hurum) in which battles were prohibited in the days of the Holy Prophet . It is also a prelude to the month of Ramadan, because Ramadan follows it after the intervening month of Sha'ban.
It is also not known in which year the event of Mi'raj took place. The books of history suggest a wide range between the fifth-year and the twelfth year after the Holy Prophet was entrusted with prophethood.
As the Prophet, (Peace Be Upon Him), was in al-Hijr at the House (the semi-circular space under the waterspout which is open on both sides on the Northwest side of the Ka`ba),, lying down at rest between two men (his uncle Hamza and his cousin Ja`far ibn Abi Talib). Jibril and Mika'il came to him. With them was a third angel ...
