Ramadan is a month of giving and generosity. Acts of charity are highly rewarded, and many Muslims increase their Sadaqah (voluntary charity) and Zakat (obligatory charity) during this blessed time.
🌟 Why Is Charity Important in Ramadan?
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the most generous of people, and in Ramadan, his generosity increased even more. Ibn Abbas (RA) said:
“The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramadan…” (Bukhari & Muslim)
