Sadaqah (charity)

Sadaqah is a form of voluntary charity in Islam, distinct from the obligatory almsgiving known as Zakat. It involves giving to those in need out of compassion and goodwill, and can take many forms, including money, food, or acts of kindness. Sadaqah is encouraged at any time and for any amount, promoting social responsibility and community support. Its primary purpose is to help alleviate suffering, foster generosity, and strengthen social ties. Engaging in Sadaqah is seen as a way to purify one's wealth and earn spiritual rewards, emphasizing the importance of compassion in daily life.
