MONEY IN THE BANK-BAABUS SADAQAH
Muslims who frequently gave Sadaqah will be admitted into Jannah through this door. As we know Sadaqah is different from Zakat. Basically,Zakat is obligatory and Sadaqah is non-obligatory. Zakat is a pillar of Islam,so important that Abu Bakr waged war on the people who refused to pay it. Sadaqah is special in the sense that the CONSISTENT giver of sadaqah will have a special entry to Paradise.
O you who believe! Spend of that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Zaalimoon (wrongdoers) 2:254]
The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allaah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allaah gives manifold increase to whom He wills. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures needs, All-Knower.
262. Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allaah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve2:261-262]
Whoever gives charity equal to a date from good (halal) earnings for Allaah does not accept anything but that which is good Allaah will take it in His right hand and tend it for the one who gave it as any one of you tends his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.
al-Bukhaari, 1344; Muslim, 1014.
There is no day on which the people get up but two angels come down and one of them says, O Allaah, give in compensation to the one who spends (in charity), and the other says, O Allaah, destroy the one who withholds.
al-Bukhaari, 1374; Muslim, 1010.
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Allaah said: Spend, O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5073; Muslim, 993.
So spend your wealth in Allahs cause and dont limit it to just annually or during Ramadan. Spend from your weekly/monthly allowance and keep in mind that the wealth given to charity by someone at his deathbed while he enjoyed his youth will be thrown back at his face.
