"Charity has many benefits, both for the giver, the receiver, and society as a whole. Here are some of the main benefits of charity in Islam:"

"1. Cleansing Wealth and Soul"

"Charity serves to cleanse wealth from elements that are not blessed and to avoid greed and stinginess. In the Qur'an, Allah says: "Take zakat from their wealth, with it you purify and sanctify them." (QS. At-Taubah: 103) Charity also cleanses the soul from negative traits and brings one closer to Allah."

"2. Bringing Fortune and Blessings"

"Charity is believed to open the doors of sustenance and increase blessings in life. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Wealth will not decrease because of charity; rather, it will increase, increase, and increase." (HR. Muslim) By giving charity, Allah will replace and multiply the wealth that is given in ways that are unexpected."

"3. Removing Sins and Mistakes"

"Charity can be a way to erase minor sins that have been committed, as mentioned in the hadith: "Charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire." (HR. Tirmidzi) This indicates that charity is one of the effective forms of atonement for sins."

"4. Protecting from Calamities and Disasters"

"Charity can serve as a shield against various disasters or calamities that may befall a person. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Charity can avert calamity and prolong life." (HR. Thabrani) Charity helps to avoid various difficulties and misfortunes."

"5. Strengthening Islamic Brotherhood"

"Charity creates a sense of mutual care and solidarity within the community. By giving charity, the relationship between the giver and the receiver becomes closer, strengthening the bonds of brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah) and maintaining social harmony."

"6. Obtaining Multiplied Rewards"

"Charity is an act that has great rewards in the sight of Allah SWT. Allah says: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed that grows seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains. Allah multiplies (the reward) for whom He wills." (QS. Al-Baqarah: 261) Every charity performed sincerely will receive rewards multiplied by Allah SWT."

"7. Becoming a Source of Happiness in the Hereafter"

"Charity given sincerely will be a provision in the hereafter. The Prophet Muhammad SAW said: "The shade for a believer on the Day of Judgment is his charity." (HR. Ahmad) Charity will be a protector and a light on the Day of Judgment, as well as a reason for entering Paradise."

"By giving charity, a person not only helps others but also improves themselves, gains blessings in life, and prepares provisions for life after death."
