9. If ye publish your almsgiving, it is well, but if ye hide
it and give it to the poor, it will be better for you,
and will atone for some of your ill-deeds. Allah is in-

Those who spend their wealth by night and day, by
stealth and openly, verily their reward is with their
Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither
shall they grieve* (ahBaqarah: 274)
Note: In both the above Ayaat, the giving of Sadaqah either
publicly or privately has been praised while, in many Ayaat of the
Qur'an and also in several Ahadith, an act committed for show or
hypocritically has been termed as a vice or 'Shirk'; in fact it nullifies
the reward and turns the act into a sin. However, it should first be
understood that 'show 1 has another sense as well. It may not neces-

'show'. Actually 'show' means that an act is done to display one's
own greatness or for the sake of publicity or honour or for being
called generous. A deed done purely for seeking the good-will and
pleasure of Allah Ta'ala, even publicly, for some good cause would
thus not be 'show' at all. Still the best form of every act of charity,
