Giving  is a common virtue of all religions as it is human trait. Human development can not take place without sharing, caring and giving. It is a virtue, a habit that shapes and governs a way of life.
 It is said we make a living by what we get; we make a life what we give. No one ever became poor by giving. It is part of our growth strategy. Happiest persons are not those getting more but those more giving.
 Giving  is considered is the best quality among good Muslims. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saying: “The believer is simple and generous, but the wicked person is deceitful and ignoble.” Islam encourages this concept of  giving  so much so that it is embedded in one of the five pillars of Islam as Zakat. In Arabic, the term zakat literally means purification of the heart however; it is also the payment, from surplus money, of an obligatory charity designed by God to provide for all the needy and the poor. The Quranic word Zakah not only includes charity, alms, tithe, kindness, and spiritual as well as moral motives. There is also another form of giving  in Islam called sadaqah (optional charity).
Muhammad Yonus, banker to the Poor of Bangladesh, says generosity means that you give only when you have lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself is struggling. A giver will share what he has with others, thinking about other people as he thinks of himself. He benefits by helping others and solving their problems. He makes people happy and prevents them from doing wrong, which is often a direct result of poverty. The true measure of persons is not what they own or have consumed, but rather what they have given to others- in time, treasure and talent. 
Generosity is the opposite of stinginess, as stinginess is a disease of the heart. A stingy is never happy and he can not relax, he never enjoy because enjoyment is in sharing and caring. Giving is a beautiful experience. The more we give the more we receive. It can bring you more meaning , fulfillment , and happiness. The Holy Quran says ‘ And whatever you spend in good, it will be repaid to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.”


Islam always advise to its followers  to give plenty of charities, especially during the Month of Ramadan.  Islam likes  those are generous and opened-handed persons.
 Giving is one of the attribute of Allah as the  tradition of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) “Indeed, Allah the Exalted is the Giver, He love generosity and noble manners, He detest bad manners.
 Another tradition of  the Prophet. “Upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is the hand of a giver, and the lower hand is the hand of a beggar.”
 In these  sayings, we can infer that stinginess and tight-fisted are bad manners and are not the characteristic of manner of a true believer. Just as begging for alms is not the characteristic of a believer. But a believer is the open handed person, a lavish giver.  During the holy Ramadan, Muslims and social organisations  are engaged in noble cause of giving and sharing. They  work an organised level, identity  poor and needy people, and distributed  charity in the forms of foods, clothes and money.
