Every act of goodness is charity, even if it is just a SMILE
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
What is charity?
Subtle Charity – Story 2
My friend and I were eating in a restaurant. Here came a lady with her blind husband and she had a bunch of tissues in her hand. This is a normal scenery in Malaysia. Blind people will go from one restaurant to the other selling tissues. Of course, they don’t go alone, they are accompanied by someone.
This weird friend of mine called up for the lady. and said she needs the tissue. She bought a pack of tissue which did not even cost RM1. But she paid RM20, since she said she didn’t have small change and as usual she asked the lady to keep the change. This time I did not ask anything, since she did not force me to take the tissue.
Helping people by charity is the most human thing we can do

Subtle Charity – Story 1
I have a friend who is some kind of weird. She loves buying things which she doesn’t need. It sounds horrible right, you might think that she is just a big spender or what.
Actually, she loves buying things from street sellers. One day, coming out from a bank, there was a makcik sitting at a corner of the bank. The makcik was selling traditional crisps, like, kerepek pisang, kerepek ubi and other types of kerepek. She instantly bought a few kerepek from the makcik, and when she paid, she did not take the balance. ‘Keep the change’, she told the makcik. Then she passed all the kerepek to me, ‘nah, take them all, I don’t like kerepek’. I asked her ‘why did you buy then?’. She just smiled.
To her,
Charity sees the need, not the cause
Charity wrapped in dignity

Worst People in the Sight of Allah
Hypocrites are the ones that come to the believers showing great love and support for Islam and Allah. They are the ones that mold the commands of Allah and rulings of Islam according to their own wishes and whims. Their hearts are corrupted to the core as they carry kufr inside. Those who lend false support to the people of Islam and are disbelievers inside are the worst people in the sight of Allah SWT.
نعوذ بالله من ذلك

Hypocrites are the Mischief Makers
Allah has made the believers peace loving and faithful to His Deen. A group of people known as hypocrites has been described as the most dangerous enemy of Islam and Muslims. They’re the ones that create chaos and mischief on Earth through their hypocritical nature. They sow doubts in the hearts of the believers by speaking about the religion negatively in a persuasive manner. The Holy Quran describes such people as the mischief-makers on the face of Earth.
And when it is said to them ‘make not mischief on the earth’ they say: ‘we are only peacemakers’.
Verily, they are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not (Al-Baqarah 2: 11-12)

Signs of hypocrisy
Since hypocrisy is all about pretense, it is very difficult to define who is a hypocrite. However, the Prophet, peace be upon him, has outlined for us some characteristics which are common in all hypocrites. He says: “Three qualities are the mark of hypocrite: he lies when he speaks, he breaks his promises when he has given them and he is unfaithful to his trust.” [Related by Muslim]. Another version of this Hadith, also related by Muslim, quotes the Prophet, peace be upon him, as saying: “If the following four characteristics are part of a person’s character, he is a pure hypocrite. If one of them applies to him, he has a characteristic of hypocrisy until he abandons it: he lies when he speaks, he violates his pledges, breaks his promises and when he quarrels with someone he is shameless.
