What Is Subuh Alms (Sedekah Subuh)?

Although Subuh Alms has often been discussed, some people still need to become more familiar with what Subuh Alms is. As the name implies, Almsgiving is giving money, goods, or food to people who need or are entitled to receive it, while Subuh means that this alms is paid at Subuh time.

Why is Subuh Alms special? Because this practice is mentioned in a hadith of Prophet Muhammad PBUH from Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu Anhu, which reads: “There is not a day when a servant passes his morning except to come down (come) two angels to him and one of them says: O Allah give a substitute for whoever gives his property, while the other says: O Allah give destruction (destruction) to the one who holds his treasure (bakhil). (HR. Bukhari)

Through the hadith, it can be concluded that Subuh Alms is a particular time when angels descend and pray for mankind who inflicts their treasures. Doing this practice at Subuh is also a virtue in itself. A series of benefits can be felt by anyone who gives their property at Subuh, such as avoiding various toxicities, being provided sustenance, being granted prayers, and being more enthusiastic in worship.
