Reading another news of devastation in the US has reminded me the hadith about power of sadqa(and prompted me to remind myslef and others to remember Allah the Beneficial and seek His protection through Hasanaat -virtue).
I have added that hadith again about the Physics of power of sadqa below; please read it again for refreshing our faith as mentioned in the Quran "fa zakir....(surah Ghashia)" (although we all have the knowledge but revision is orderd).
Please read it through for your own sake, act accordingly for your own safety and spread it for your redemption ."
"When Allah created the earth, it tilted and was unsteady. Accordingly Allah put the stakes (nails) of mountains in it, and it became steady and stood in one position. The angels were amazed by the strength of the mountains. They asked the Creator: 'Our Lord! Have you created anything harder than the mountains?' He replied: 'Yes, Ironis harder than this.' The angels again asked: "Is there anything harder than iron ?' He said: 'Yes, Fire has more power,' They asked: 'Is there any- thing more powerful created by you than fire? He said: 'Yes. Water is more powerful than this.' The angels asked: 'Does anything among your created things exist more powerful than water? He said: 'Yes, air has more power than water.' They asked:: 'Have you created anything more powerful than air ?' He said: 'Yes. Adam's son charity (is more powerful, which is given) from his right hand without letting his left hand know it." (Tirmizi)
A Summary of the Explanation of the Hadith by Mulana Tayyeb (ra):
{This hadith explains that the secret of power is in "Litafat"- Litafat can be explained-to some extent- as fineness} .
This hadith establishes a scale of power on the basis of Litafat (fineness) versus Density- the higher the density, the lesser is the power of enormous potent creations of Allah the Mighty. The hadith mentions all great creations in order, mountains, iron, fire, water, and wind before sadqa.
The mountains are one of the densest creations. They have high density, impenetrability and cannot be melted into a material that is very sharp or very shiny, but on the other hand, iron can be turned into much sharper tools and shinier objects. Thus, it is obviously more Latif (or finer or less dense) than mountains.
Next, the fire is more powerful as it melts iron; we can see it is less dense (more Latif), much finer and much more penetrable, and it also has less opacity than iron.
After that, the water that extinguishes fire has a lot less opacity, is much more penetrable and has low density and more fineness.
Finally in this tangible world, the air is most powerful that has almost 0% opacity and so penetrable that we often do not feel it. Thus it has the second lowest density and higher fineness (litafat) on our scale we just established during analysis.
Now if you compare the sadqa, it is so fine that we cannot even feel it as we can in the case of air. It is totally invisible given in the way that even the body of the faithful does not know about it. Such sadqa has 0% density and is most Latif, and therefore it is the most powerful in the system of the Creator.
Thus, The Creator calls us to trust Him and take the shelter of the most Powerful by giving sadqa, instead of trusting the stone and iron houses that are weaker than fire, water and air.
