Charity – A shade for the believer on the Day of Judgment
On the Day of Judgment, the sun will come down to just above our heads. There will be no limit to its heat. People will be worried senseless because of it. In such a time, charity will be a shade for the believers. Zakaat and other forms of charity that they gave in the world will be a means of relief and solace that day, as given in this Hadith:
Translation: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Marthad bin ‘Abdullah Yazni, he says: A companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) told me that he heard the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) say: Verily, the charity of a believer will be a shade of mercy for him (or her) on the Day of Judgment. (Musnad Imam Ahmad bin Hambal, Hadith No. 18530)
