of Allah that he will be compensated in the Last Day, and charity will prevent him from the
hellfire on the Last Day as the Prophet of Allah said: "Save yourself from Hell-fire even by
giving half a date-fruit in charity." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

grieving man and the needy man, supporting and sympathizing the poor and needy man,
helping widows and orphans…etc.
Furthermore, the man who gives charity will have a great reward as Allah say:
