One of the five orders of righteousness set out in the Quran is giving of one’s cherished wealth in Charity. ‘‘They ask you, O Prophet, what ways they should spend charitably. Say to them: Whatever good offering you spend is to be for your parents, and nearest relatives, and orphans, and the indigent, and the needy wayfarers. And whatever good you do, God is, indeed, all-knowing of it” (Surat Al-Baqarah, 2:215)

Charity serves as one of the ways to attain societal equity, bring justice, balance and practice kindness in the community. ‘Sadaqa’ as it is regarded to in the Quran averts calamity and increases human sustenance and blessings into one’s life.
