Charity: Keep your coins, I want change..!
Charity should be lawfully earned or acquired by the giver. It should include such things as are of use and value to others.
There are two forms of charity in Islam - obligatory and voluntary, called Zakah and Sadaqah respectively.
The Qur'an states: 'And be steadfast in your prayer and pay charity; whatever good you send forth for your future, you shall find it with Allah, for Allah is well aware of what you do' (2:110). Charity is central to a Muslim's life.
The best charity is to satisfy a hungry person, said Prophet Muhammad (SAS). He also said "No wealth (of a servant of Allah) is decreased because of charity." (Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2247).
"WE KNOW HOW TO MAKE MONEY BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHO TO SPEND MONEY". We spend the first 20 to 30 years of our lives in acquiring skilled and marketable talents to earn money, but we are not taught how to spend money. We are not given guidance concerning financial transactions.

Don't turn your eyes away from someone begging
Don't turn your eyes away from someone begging, they live among us, they are like us HUMANS, they need what we need.. yet we keep blindly ignoring them and pass them!! Beware sometimes Allah subhanhu wa tala'a send you the needy as a test to see if you worthy to increase His blessings... listen to the poor.
The Prophet (saw) said:"Be merciful to those on the earth, so the One above the heavens will be merciful to you." [At-Tabarani and al-Hakim]
