Does Charity need Publicity?

“But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”

Charity a Nobel Cause, helps the poor, needy, sick, starved, deprived, with no shelter, no food, no school, old age etc.

It is indeed a nice deed and gesture. It is a symbol of love and care for each other. God loves and bless the donor more than before.

But the act of giving should remain to one’s own self. It definitely does not need a publicity.

Hmmmmmm….., is the publicity of this nobel cause becoming a fashion?

Yes, publicity of the endorsed charity is becoming a world’s culture or probably has become. Thus, if charity is publicised through the breaking news, in the news papers, in the articles, people praising in the talk shows, not to forget the social media which is a very quick and strong medium these days, arranging your charity event and then streaming it live online….

Here, need to know the purpose for giving the charity.

Two questions arises here whether your purpose is to really help anyone or just to get favour in the eyes of people, which is called ‘show off’.

Well, with such a purpose it is better not to donate then.

The purpose to help someone is not to make them feel deprived. This is the announcement that they are the poor souls who need my Mercy.

Rather, the purpose is to fulfil someone’s needs by boosting their morale.

Please stop showing Mercy and donate in a civilized way.

As it is said, “But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”

God appreciate those who perform this nobel cause in a low profile. They receive favour in the eyes of God and get their real reward from Almighty.
