Altruism is one of the best and kindest acts considered. Basically, this act can be
defined as, when one himself is in need of any kind of help but he saw other in need
too, so he instead help them without considering his own condition.
Even Holy Quran praises this act of kindness in the verse “They give preference to
them over themselves – even concerning the things that they themselves urgently
need” (59:9).
Our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) is himself the best example of this kind act.
There are many such incident of him. He would always prefer to give his food to the
poor ones while he himself would be too much hungry, even once he tied stone of
hunger on his stomach to share the pain of hunger with poor.
After him Ahlul Bayt also proved to be the good example of this act. Holy prophet
always asked his wives and followers to never let go any needy with empty handed
some times Holy prophet use to lend money and give to needy people.
