In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all.
In Islam, every Muslim is obliged to give to charity in whatever form to boost his piety and spread wealth and goodwill among the whole community. Allah (SWT) says in the Noble Qur'an: "By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend (benevolently) out of what you love; and whatever thing you spend, Allah surely knows it." (3:92)
Prophet Mohammed was asked: "O Messenger of Allah (SWT), from where would we get something to give in charity (so often)?" Prophet Muhammad (S) replied: "Indeed the gates to goodness are many: glorifying Allah (SWT), praising Him, magnifying Him, saying 'There is no god but Allah', enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, removing any source of harm from the road, listening to the aggrieved, guiding the blind, showing the seeker his need, striving as far as your two legs could carry you and with deep concern to give succour to him who asks, carrying with the strength of your arms (the burdens of) the weak. All these are acts of charity which are an obligation on you." And Prophet Muhammad (S) added: "And your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, your removing of stones and thorns from people's paths is charity, and your guiding a man gone astray in the world is charity for you."
From this saying one can notice that charity doesn’t necessarily have to be materialistic or physical. He (PBUH) views charity in a more spiritual manner; this is through emphasizing that every good is charity. And on every person is the obligation of charity. This is a unique concept of charity.
The concept of charity in Islam includes all good actions however small they may be which in return allows every person whether rich or poor, to become givers and receivers on an equal basis.
Prophet Muhammad (S) has said: "No one of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself."
This is the essence of charity. So begin by meeting your brother and sister with a smile. This would open up locked souls, penetrate to the depths of the heart and exert a magnetic bond on society.
The great religion of Islam has only come for the benefit of mankind, and one of Allah (SWT)'s mercies on us is that He (SWT) has opened for us a great door of opportunity of doing good deeds which remains open even after death. The key to this door is through charity and sacrifice.
Regarding this Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS) says that: "Three things help a man after his death, and these are: a charity given by him, a good habit he taught to others and a good offspring he leaves behind, who prays for his forgiveness."
