Today’s verse is Matthew 6:3-4, “ But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” 

The third pillar of Islam, is Zakah (Za-khaah), Which is the obligation of submitting a set percentage of one’s profitable wealth to charity and is expected of all qualifying Muslims and  is not optional but compulsory. Jesus teaches a new way of giving that flows from the heart as an act of worship and is the antithesis of earning or even buying favors from God.

Let’s pray for Muslims to know the generosity of the Father through the gift of His son. 

Father, we ask today that the required giving demanded by Islam would work to reveal self-righteousness and the damaging underlying belief that favor with you can be bought with money or good deeds. In place of this would You  make known your generosity towards us in sending your son to die and extend to us the free gifts of forgiveness and restoration. As Muslims encounter you, a generous God, let that overflow as generosity from their lives towards those who are truly in need. 

In Jesus Name, Amen
