The meaning of charity in the view of Islam (part 1)

What is the glory of charity? It is told in a hadith narrated by Turmudzi and Ahmad, as follows:
When Allah created the earth, then the earth trembled. Then Allah also created the mountain with the strength that has been given to the mountain, then the earth fell silent. Angels were amazed at the creation of the mountain. Then they asked, "O Lord, is there thy creation stronger than the mountains?"
Allah replied, "Yes, it is iron." The angels asked again, "My Lord, is there thy creation stronger than iron?"
Then Allah replied, "Yes, it is a fire"
The angels asked again, "O Lord, is there thy creation stronger than fire?"
Allah the Almighty replied, "Yes, it is water"
"Oh my Lord, is there thy creation stronger than water?", The angels asked again.
Allah the Most Exalted and Perfect said, "Yes, it is the wind"
Finally, the angels asked, "O Lord, is there thy creation stronger than all your creation?
Allah replied, "Yes, it is the act of Adam's descendants who give alms with his right hand while his left hand does not know these alms."

That means that the most noble person is one who give alms, but still able to overtake him, so the charity does is clean, honest, and sincere with no element of showing off or a desire to show off. It can be understood as a basic human instinct is the need of praise, respect, appreciation, gratitude, and so on. We are always tempted to show off everything we have or all of what we can do. Moreover, if what we do is a good thing.
Thus, we are not surprised, a charity with a sincere are the people who have tremendous power. They will not be defeated by the various types of low instincts, which is need to be praised. We believe that Allah would surely reward our charity at the moment we are in desperate need of assistance in a way that is never predicted by humans.
Allah is the God that is Most Gracious and Merciful to all His servants. Even to people that always rebel against His commands, God poured His grace that can not be measured.
All human actions, good or bad, will affect us. If we think about our property that is now within our grasp, the property often makes us forget that all such property is a gift from Allah the Almighty and the Most Rich. Allah entrusted those property to us, so that we can do good and give alms willingly and expecting good pleasure of Allah only. We will undoubtedly get a reward from Allah, whether we still live in this world or when we meet Allah someday.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh. (peace be upon him) called upon his companions who were preparing to go into battle, to charity. Especially at that time, Allah revealed the verses of charity to the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. , " The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things (Quran, Surah al-Baqarah: 261).
