Being caring and compassionate for one’s fellow human beings is a central part of Islam. There are several ahadith that provide evidence of this. For example, one hadith says, “You will not believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself.” Another one says, “The believers are like one body in their mutual love and affection: if one limb is injured, the rest responds with sleeplessness and fever.”
If a Muslim feels the pain of his or her fellow human being and wishes for the same comfort and good life for others that he wishes for himself, it is a natural reaction to give to charity to ease this suffering.
Allah (SWT) describes those who prevent the supporting of orphans and the feeding of the poor as “those who reject the faith” (107:1-3). A charity should be given in “prosperity or adversity” (3:134), without fear for one’s wealth. We should have faith that a sincere act of giving can only bring abundant reward.
It is stated in the Quran, “Those who spend their wealth in Allah’s cause are like grains of corn which produce seven ears, each bearing a hundred grains.” (Qur’an, 2:261)
