"Smiling in the face of your brother is charity," Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in a hadith authenticated by Al-Albani. "Smiling in the face of your brother is charity and pouring out from your bucket into your brother's bucket is charity," Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said in a hadith authenticated by Al-Albani. In Islam, every Muslim is obliged to give to charity in whatever form to boost his piety and spread wealth and goodwill among the whole community. It's no surprise then that the Arabic word tasadaqa (to give charity) is derived from the word "sadaqa" which means tell the truth or be sincere. Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Qur'an: (Ye will not attain unto piety until ye spend of that which ye love. And whatsoever ye spend, Allah is aware thereof.) {Aal 'Imran 3:92} Therefore voluntary charity, or sadaqa, which is different than the zakah - the compulsory alms that are collected each year - should be part of every Muslim's daily life. The Prophet (PBUH) said that every good deed is charityeven a smile in the face of others is charity.
