☛ Charity is very important in Islam, and even more so during Ramadan. Zakat, is obligatory as one of the pillars of Islam; a fixed percentage is required to be given to the poor of the person's savings. Sadaqa is voluntary charity in given above and beyond what is required from the obligation of Zakat. In Islam all good deeds are more handsomely rewarded in Ramadan than in any other month of the year. Consequently, many will choose this time to give a larger portion, if not all, of the Zakat for which they are obligated to give. In addition, many will also use this time to give a larger portion of sadaqa in order to maximize the reward that will await them on the Day of Judgment.
► Allah Almighty Says in Holy Quran: Those who spend their wealth in Allah 's way by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. [Surah Al Baqarah 2:274].
► Allah Almighty Says in Holy Quran: Never will you attain the good reward until you spend in the way of Allah from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it. [Surah Al Imran 3:92].
Allah is the most Generous and Giving of all. Indeed, Allah’s Generosity multiplies in Ramadan. Similarly, the Prophet’s generosity increased in Ramadan, and indeed he is the man whose personality entails all the attributes mankind seek and vie for. This increased generosity of the Prophet in Ramadan has several reasons and indications that we have to pay attention to, among them are:
► 1. Ramadan is an honorable and blessed month, and the rewards for generosity are multiplied in it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The best charity is that given in Ramadan.” [At-Tirmithi].
► 2. This is a source of help and support, especially the ones fasting. To encourage this, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He who feeds a fasting person will gain the same reward as he will, without decreasing from the fasting person’s rewards.” [Ahmad]. The fasting person abandons food and drink in Ramadan. Thus, when he gives others what he is craving for, this sacrifice would generate greater rewards, Allah willing.
► 3. Ramadan is the month of giving and mercy, and in it Allah blesses the believers with forgiveness and being saved from Hellfire. Therefore, whoever is merciful and giving in Ramadan, Allah will be even more Merciful and Giving, and will bestow upon him countless bounties and blessings.
► 4. Joining between fasting and giving charity leads to entering Paradise, by Allah’s Leave and Blessings. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “In Paradise there are rooms that their inside can be seen from outside and outside can be seen from inside.” He was asked, “For whom are these rooms, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “They are for he who soften his speech, feeds the people, continues to fast, and prays at night while the people are asleep.” [Ahmad].
