Abstract

Charity (ṣadaqa) is commonly given for religious reasons: Muslims donate voluntarily to earn Allah’s pleasure and receive His blessings. However, there have been changes in the way Muslims perceive charity and what significance it has in their life. Many studies have addressed this issue but failed to explore the connection between ṣadaqa and mental state.

This study used qualitative analysis of primary and secondary data. The data was processed through descriptive methods and content analysis.
