One of 7 types of people promised the Shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment are those who give in charity so secretly that their left hand doesn't know what their right hand has given. Hidden charity is indeed more praiseworthy in the sight of Allah than charity done publicly. Parents who want to raise charitable children can make an exception to this rule, though. While giving sadaqah with one hand, they should hold their kids' hand with the other to let them witness it. The underlying message behind this is: "See how I feed the hungry, give to the poor, and support the weak. Watch, learn, and do the same." Words alone won't shape their hearts. Actions will. https://t.center/englishnudge
