To instill the habit of generosity and empathy in your children, gift them a beautiful box with the word "Sadaqah" (Charity) written on it in large and clear letters.

Gently explain to them:

"If you receive 10 rupees daily, keep 9 rupees for your own use and put 1 rupee into this 'Sadaqah Box'. When this box fills up with 10 rupees in 10 days, buy something worth 10 rupees and give it to a poor or needy friend."

With time, as their pocket money increases, keep guiding them to gradually increase the amount of charity as well.

Insha'Allah! Through this practice, the ability to feel others' pain will develop in their hearts, generosity and empathy will become part of their nature, and they will grow into sensitive and kind-hearted human beings.
