883	knowledge	al salam aleikom, i am writing to ask how does one learn for the sake of Allah. i have heard this many times but i cannot understand how one does this. i understand that part of the reason is to gain a better understanding of God and His power to increase piety as well as to help other servants of Allah. however, i struggle to motivate myself for such reasons. i find that allah has blessed me with many opportunities and capabilities but i want to exploit these opportunities to the fullest and understand that working for materialistic desires is not the way of islam. Are there other reasons to study for the sake of Allah? Thank you very much Jazakallah khair	Pending

994	Old mans qadha of salat sawm	AOA, First of all I'd like to express my happiness for this great service. May Allah Almighty bless everyone involved in this project. My question is related to Salat and Sawm. An old man in his late 60's wants to know the solution to the following issue as per the laws of agha Sistani: This old man hasn't kept a fast in his life. (just a few maybe but he doesn't even know how many). He only started praying regularly at around the age of 40. This man was not religious during his youth but he wants to rectify himself now. His mother passed away when he was 6 months old and his father didn't pay much attention to his upbringing. He started working at a very young age. His working environment was very tough and in harsh climate. This man became diabetic at the age of around 30. He is weak now and he also has heart problems and sits and prays his salat and cannot fast. Since he is poor, he is unable to pay large kaffara amount. Kindly requesting you to reply at your earliest as he is desperately looking for a solution. Thank you and best regards, JazakAllah Khair	Pending
