  4. Broadens charity beyond money to include smiles, time, knowledge, food, clothing, help, and prayer.

  6. Closes with prayers for generosity, contentment, forgiveness, and relief for suffering communities.

Give regularly, even if the amount is small, such as a few dollars or part of a date.
Offer generosity through smiles, time, knowledge, help, clothing, food, or making du'a.
Make time for family and serve them rather than treating busyness as an excuse.
Help someone who asks for advice, assistance, or help finding work.
Look for ways to bring happiness to another Muslim household.
