Earning divine reward

EARNING DIVINE REWARD Divine rewards for giving to others have to do with the intention behind the act of giving. Therefore, those actions will earn divine rewards that are done only for God’s sake with no motive other than earning God’s pleasure. Those whom God has blessed with money generally pay their employees and subordinate workers only the regular salary or payment. on the other hand, they happily donate large amounts of money to conferences, relief funds and big institutions. if you ask them why they do this, they will reply, ‘What we pay our employees or workers is the payment for their work. We will not get any divine reward for this payment. They have served us, and we have compensated them. What divine reward can we get from this? By paying them a salary, we have settled our matters with them. in contrast, the money we donate to institutions and community work will surely earn us divine reward!’ however, the reality of the matter is quite different. Moreover, this reply is simply an effort to conceal the real story. The matter is that deep inside his heart, every person nurses the desire that if he gives something to somebody, he should receive the reward for it in this very world. The poor man wants this recompense in the form of money. The rich man wants to be compensated in the form of social status. The hidden desire often drives rich people to donate massive amounts to various noteworthy causes.
