"Seek, and you will be found." I wish to add: seek, and you will get the guidance. These days I really was feeling incomplete just for the fact that I have not been able to give charity even when having enough to give out in Allah's way. Perhaps, I was worrying about the best or superior kind of charity, and today I found the answer which is being posted here - curiously my intuition (answer from within) predicted that only such kind of charity, as mentioned in next lines, could be of superior kind, which explains the truth that Islam is the religion of fitrah:
Narrated Abu-Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): ‘A man came to the Prophet (May Allah exalt his mention and protect him from imperfection) and asked: “O Allah’s Messenger which charity is the most superior in reward?” He replied: “The charity that you give while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wishing to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching death and then say: ‘Give so much to so and so, and so much to so and so.’ (And it already belongs to such and such (his heirs)).”‘ (Bukhari)Riyaadiss-Saliheen (The Meadows of the Righteous) (Abridged)

Seek and you shall be guided! indeed!
MashaAllah, I was going through your blog after many days today and I found something different about it. Cannot articulate it in words but there is surely something different. Probably, that's how, we, as humans evolve while walking on The Path, despite all our shortcomings and weaknesses.
:)
So happy to hear these kind words from you. I hope the change persists and develops by Allah's grace
