This means to give others from what you have, to give plenty, and not just a little bit.
There are many ways of being generous, some of them are:
- Donating to a charity
- Giving food to the needy
- Spending your time to help others.
To be generous you do not have to have money. You can be generous by spending your time helping people.
Children and young people often think that to donate something you should be an adult. This is not true. If a child donates something, it means more to Allah than if an adult donated the some thing. This is because the child is not earning and does not have much, and so is giving away something which is more precious to him/her, than it is to the adult.
In Qur'an (Surah 92 Ayat 5-7) Allah says,
".....As for him who GIVES AWAY and guards himself against evil and believes in the best, We will smoothen for him the path unto bliss."
