This Hadith is emphasizing that charity is not just about giving money or material possessions to those in need, but also encompasses a wide range of actions and attitudes. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is saying that a variety of actions can be considered as charity, such as smiling at someone, commanding good and forbidding evil, giving directions to someone who is lost, helping someone with poor vision, and removing obstacles from the road.
The Hadith is highlighting that even small actions can be considered as charity and be rewarding, it also encourages Muslims to be more conscious of the little things they do and to strive to do good in all aspects of their lives, not just by giving money or material possessions to those in need.
It also emphasizes the importance of being helpful to others, and encouraging good deeds and discouraging bad ones. It also shows that helping others is not only about giving money but also about being kind, helpful, and considerate.
In summary, this Hadith is a reminder that charity encompasses a wide range of actions and attitudes, and that even small acts of kindness can be considered as charity and have a great impact on the lives of others.
Eternal Aid is a Leading Charity based in the United Kingdom, working across the globe.
A group of volunteers came together on this charity initiative and spent the next few years supporting various campaigns and appeals across the world.
