RAMADAN TIPS: SADAKKA IS NOT ONLY MONEY

RAMADAN TIPS: SADAKKA IS NOT ONLY MONEY 

Ramadan is the quintessential month of charity and I would like to share with all of you a little tip that is not only valid for Ramadan but also for the rest of the year.

Sadakka (Charity) is not only about money, there are other small details that we can do for others that are also charity.


Yesterday I was lucky to meet 2 people who transmitted this feeling of non-monetary charity to me.

I went out from work and wanted to do some shopping in my office area, and I was looking for a store where it sells the konafa dough and the qataifs that is quite famous in Cairo. I asked a street vendor and a lady heard me and she offered to accompany me. When we got to the store it was totally full of people, the lady not only accompanied me but also got among all these people and brought me what I wanted to buy, all with a smile and a sweetness that really made my day. 

Then I went to another store to buy lasagna sheets and the saleswoman was also super charming and gave me all kinds of explanations on how to use them.

These people made me think on how important non-monetary charity is and the difference we can make to other people, who may be going through difficult times and need a helping hand to listen to them and smile at them.

Sometimes we are involved in our work life, home obligations and we forget to look around and be kind and supportive with others and especially with those we love the most. We forget to tell them how much we love them and that we are here for them, and we all love hearing these words of support.

Let’s not forget the little details that make the lives of others better, a smile, a thank you, Can I help you ? listen to those who need us, tell our husbands and wives and children how much we love them, they are all acts of sadakka non-monetary that is so necessary in this holy month.

May you have a blessed fast day and Rabbena yetakkabal
