Closing words of advice 🌹

The Prophets and Messengers invited their people to worshipping Allah alone (Tahweed). They gave da'wah day and night, in public and in secret, and though many had families to support, they never requested donations from the people - not even in the name of da'wah.
Nûh عليه السلام said to his people:
{ وَیَـٰقَوۡمِ لَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مَالًاۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ...}
“My people, I ask no reward for it from you; my reward comes only from Allah.”
[Surah Hûd: 29]
Hûd عليه السلام said to his people:
{ یَـٰقَوۡمِ لَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ أَجۡرًاۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِی فَطَرَنِیۤۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ }
“I ask no reward from you, my people; my reward comes only from Him who created me. Why do you not use your reason?”
[Surah Hûd: 51]
Salih عليه السلام said to his people:
. { وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ }
“I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds.”
[Surah Ash-Shuarâ’: 145]
Loot عليه السلام said to his people:
{ وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ }
“I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds.”
[Surah Ash-Shuarâ’: 164]
And the list goes on...
In fact, Allah commanded our Prophet ﷺ to make it obvious to his Ummah that he is not after their money:
{قُل لَّاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ أَجۡرًا}
“Say, “I ask no reward of you for this.”
[Surah Al-An`âm: 90]
These are the people whom Allah has guided so let us follow in their guidance!
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك
أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت
أستغفرك وأتوب إليك
