إِمَاطَةُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ

English Translation:

Removing something harmful from the road is charity.

Explanation: Charity is not only about money. Moving a stone, a thorn or rubbish out of people's way protects them from harm — and Allah counts that small helpful act as charity too.

💡 Remember:

Charity is not only about money.
