Prophet Muhammad (S.) said: "There is no person who does not have the obligation of doing charity every day that the sun rises." Whereupon he was asked: "0 messenger of God, where from would we get something to give in charity (so often)?" The Holy Prophet replied: "Indeed the gates to goodness are many: glorifying God, praising Him, magnifying Him, saying "There is no god but Allah", enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong, removing (any source of harm from the road, listening to the aggrieved, guiding the blind, showing the seeker his need, striving as far as your two legs could carry you and with deep concern to give succour to him who asks, carrying with the strength of your arms (the burdens of) the weak. All these are acts of charity which are an obligation on you." And he added: "And your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, your removing of stones and thorns from people"s paths is charity, and your guiding a man gone astray in the world is charity for you.
