Generosity

Beliefs & concepts

The named virtue of free giving beyond bare duty. Not charity as theological self-giving alone, and not liberality as the classical twin refuse.

Islam

  • Generosity appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an praises those who spend and give freely and condemns miserliness. Islamic generosity speech in that revelation, not zakat as the named due alone and not charity as the already-walked English virtue alone.
