“Actions are judged by intentions…” — Sahih al-Bukhari
Ramadan multiplies reward.
But reward is anchored in intention.
Charity during this month increases across Nigeria. Food drives expand. Public gestures grow visible. Yet sincerity remains invisible — and decisive.
Giving that humiliates erodes dignity. Giving that advertises excessively risks diluting purity.
The Qur’an cautions against nullifying charity through injury or showmanship (Qur’an 2:264).
Ramadan invites quiet generosity.
It teaches that the hand that gives should not seek applause. It should seek acceptance.
The true measure of charity is not visibility.
It is transformation — both of the receiver and the giver.
Ramadan purifies wealth.
But intention purifies the soul.
