Hinduism-islam

Truth:

Both traditions distinguish between mandatory and voluntary charity. In Islam, Zakat is mandatory (2.5% of wealth), but Sadaqah is voluntary charity given out of love and compassion. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Charity does not decrease wealth." In Hinduism, while Dana (charity) is a duty, additional voluntary giving is highly encouraged. The Bhagavad Gita teaches giving without expectation. Both traditions teach: 1) Mandatory charity is the minimum, 2) Voluntary giving is highly rewarded, 3) Giving should be done secretly when possible, 4) The intention matters more than the amount, 5) Charity purifies wealth and heart. The Quran states: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes" (2:261). Both view voluntary charity as a sign of true faith and compassion.
