What is the meaning of: "Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allah"? Does zakat on money mean growth and purification? What is the interpretation of a large sum of money being stolen after performing Fajr prayer in the mosque and paying zakat annually? Is it a punishment or a test, and how can one know that? Could the theft be a response to a prayer for the purification of money, especially with the use of personal work property and being late for work? Does unlawful money become purified by giving zakat, and is it true that lawful money is not lost?
The "Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allah" is authentic, and it means that whoever prays Fajr is safe in Allah's care, so no one should harm him; otherwise, Allah will hold accountable anyone who harms him.
Linguistically, means growth and increase. It was named Zakat in Islamic law because it increases wealth and purifies the poor.
Giving Zakat does not mean that nothing will be lost from one's wealth. If that happens, patience is obligatory, and the reward for patience is great.
If the afflicted person is obedient, then what afflicts him is a trial to raise his ranks. If he is disobedient, then what afflicts him is a punishment for his sins.
If the harm is related to a human right, then repentance and seeking forgiveness from those whose rights were violated are obligatory, and the loss of money does not absolve one from fulfilling these rights.
What is said about lawful wealth not being lost has no basis.
