Meaning of Charity Based on the Quran to additionally comprehend the significance and idea of noble cause in Islam, sections from the Quran containing the order of good cause are assessed:
“Do they not realize that it is Allah who acknowledges atonement from his hirelings and gets good cause and that is Allah who is the tolerant of contrition, the benevolent”. Al.tawbah. 9:104.
“A thoughtful word and acquittal is better than good cause that is trailed by injury, and verily Allah is Self-adequate, the most holding back.” (Qur’an, 2:263)
“Indeed the people who rehearsing noble cause have advanced Allah a goodly advance, it will be increased for them, and they will have an honorable reward”.(Al hadid 57:18)
In Islamic writings each researcher portrays sadqah from the Hadith of the prophet saww described by either ahlulbait As and his associates RA with extraordinary technique however evaluates a similar result that is Reward from almighty Allah and they suggested ways how to reach needy and disburse charity weather publically or secretly.
In the Hadiths of the prophet of Islam (pbuh) which plainly shows the significance of offering noble cause to the destitute individuals.
