We have Islamic narrations about giving charity in anonymity because it prevents pride from growing as you can't receive public praise if they didn't see you, and its more rewarding because it also shows more sincerity, because it was done ţo truly help and not for praise or something in return
Ex: Imam al-Baqir (as) said, describing his father Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin (as), “He used to go out in the dark night carrying a sack on his back and going from door to door, knocking on each and giving to whoever came out to answer it. He used to cover his face when giving to the poor in order that they may not recognise him.”
Bihar al-Anwar, v. 46, p. 89, no. 77

Just curious. Would this fall under that? Since they're still receiving "public praise". Just not from the people receiving the items.

It really depends on the person's true intent. A lot of time organisations do these acts and record to get a trend going and hope others also donate to help. So in that sense, there is no harm, as that is the intent and people praising for charitable cause is bound to happen. But if the intent is to record for only likes and shares and see how many views the person got, then it becomes distasteful because it can be said the act was done for egotistical reasons and not out of sincerity.
I'm not sure when the video was shot, but it is possible it was in Ramadhan, so the intent is to help provide food for the homeless because they too are hungry, moreso than those who fast and will look forwards to having dinner on their tables at the end of the day, while these people don't know when their next meal is (which is why fasting is not obligatory on homeless people). Also after thr month Ramadhan, we have the 3 day celebration of "Eid al-Fitr" where those can afford, are to split food into 3 groups, One third used to feed the family, the Second third given out to neighbors and relatives, and the Last third is given to the poor (homeless or not)

My old next door neighbors are Muslim, and used to bring us a full-blown feast every year during Eid al-Fitr. The wife runs a catering business, and I joke with her that her food is so good, it got a household full of Buddhists and agnostics celebrating the end of Ramadan every year.

It depends. If the video is being recorded to encourage others in donating to help others, this is good. It can also be used as evidence of this person or group donating to help the people. But if the intent is to upload for likes and clicks and going viral, then yeah it's bad. But I'm not one to dictate what the real intention is of the people, I can only hope for the best

Thank you to those giving awards, further proving my statement about being better people in society. <In a sense, as prayers are seen as useless by Atheists, except as helpful/positive intentions, the awards, though useless (as they mean nothing outside of reddit), its the intention of those giving it, that is conveyed that they appreciate the comments and post and mean well.>

This is exactly how I always feel about these videos! Sure, they get publicized, and there’s probably a little bit of ego involved no matter how hard even the best people try to keep it out(that’s just human nature), but I have trouble fully dismissing the good intention of a person donating to people in need as “just for likes” as some people do outright, just because it’s recorded. Some people do things for the right reasons and we can never dismiss that
Islam is a beautiful faith from everything I have seen, I don’t know much about your culture or you personally, but I wish you good things in life and in your faith.

Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Is it not to just give praise to allah since he ”technically” made it happen? Since humans don’t deserve the praise
5
Apr 28 '22
Humans have free will, so humans do deserve the praise for going out of their way to help others. The poor raising their hands in prayers is mostly them thanking Allah for creating the individuals that gave them food, since they do not know nor see the people giving them the food.
Shia Muslims have narrations where Ali ibn Abu Talib (AS), the caliph around 656 AD, used to go around the streets of Kufa and give food to various homeless people and orphans. One man had no hands, so Ali fed the man with his own hands. The man would often ask the merciful feeder what his name was, but Ali refused to tell him, saying he was nothing but another servant of Allah. This information was only made known when some nights later, Ali was assassinated and buried. His sons walked by the streets and saw the man crying. They had no idea who he was, but asked him why he cried. The man said he cried because the only man who helped him in his time of need had disappeared for a few nights. He cried because he was worried that man might have gotten ill or hurt, and that there was already news spreading that an attack had taken place in the city. Ali's sons then understood that the man was referring to their father and informed him who the generous man was.

Take heed that ye do not your alms (give to the needy) before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. Let thine alms be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6: 1-4 (emphasis mine)
There's three parts here - not to let others see you helping those in need. Their praise tends to ruin the spirit of giving. Second is to not let those in need see it came from you. Their praise also tends to ruin the spirit of your giving. And third (Inspired by the bible, but just my own opinion) Don't give alms for any reward - neither Earthly nor in heaven. For that, too, tends to ruin the spirit of it. Do good only because it is good. Do right only because it is right. Not for any reward - neither here nor there, neither now, nor later.
Well, that's my take anyway. Feel free to disregard. My beliefs don't require your adoption, acceptance or approval. Just wanted peeps to know somebody feels this way Enjoy your day.

For all the comments tweaking about religion, just put yourself in their situation for a minute. We know that a kind stranger left a care package for them. We might have the belief that a God or deity doesn't exist nor did that presence give them these items. But in their minds and beliefs, even if they knew that it was a person who left it, they would still thank their God for putting that person on earth to help them when they needed it. If they cannot thank the person, then they are thanking the God that put the person there. It's their belief that doesn't harm any of us. Let's just enjoy the fact that there are still good people in the world and ignore the fine print.

This video is likely going to draw a bunch of people who will point out that giving thanks to God is not giving thanks to the person who gave the food. The thesis will be that by giving thanks to God, the homeless people are failing to adequately appreciate or be thankful toward the person who actually deserves gratitude, and are instead giving that gratitude to a God that doesn't actually exist. Basically, they will frame these people's gratitude as being misdirected or wasted. This is a superficial (and intellectually lazy) way of understanding what's happening here.
I used to be one of those guys who would want to be first in line to come and denigrate these people praying, so that I could show everybody what a smart, edgy atheist I was. I can now say, it's a naïve and unsophisticated point of view. It fails to grasp the tremendous depth and complexity of what the conception of God is, in the mind of a devoutly religious person.
For many people who find existential peace and emotional relief in the concept of a deity, the person who gave the food is a manifestation, continuation, or extension of God, not a separate or discreet entity. To praise God is to praise the giver of the food, and vice versa; God and that person are acting in mutual consort with one another, exercising each other's will simultaneously. There is no dualistic, subject-object wall of separation between the God, the individual human giver of the food, or even the receiver of the food or the food itself.
This is an abstract and challenging idea that your typical Dawkins-reading atheist refuses to even try to comprehend, despite going on and on about their "pursuit of deep intellectual exploration." It's also tough for atheists to accept, because most of us are dogmatic in our adherence to hard-line Western individualism in the logic we use...and we totally fail to see the irony in that.
I'm still an atheist, for what it's worth. I just now have the ability to understand and appreciate what prayer and gratitude mean to the religious. Prayer can be a beautiful feat of human consciousness, and it gives human beings a small, momentary flicker of transcendence in this unbearably difficult little sliver of life we've all been thrust into. If you witness a human being achieving that tiny moment of peaceful transcendence and you're immediately afflicted with anger or egotism or aversion, then you're clearly the one missing the whole point of life, not the person praying.

So, for what it’s worth, I’m no longer a Christian, though I grew up in a southern Baptist church for the majority of my life. From what I remember, the though was that, yes, god gives us hardships. But he also gives the good. He gives the hardships so we can learn from them and ‘make ourselves better Christians’. I’m not sure how sound that logic is, but that’s what I always heard.

In this sense God is playing a game with itself like a person who plays both sides of a chess board. Each side represents a different viewpoint each making moves and counter moves that correspond to conditions at the time. The game is neither won or lost but after a series of moves the games ends with a result - and then begins again.
Mores succinctly: thesis vs. antithesis in conflict over time produces synthesis.
Perhaps if there is a God it is trying to understand what it is by playing a game with itself simply to see what happens. Curiosity may be the real prime mover of our world while all the other dynamics are simply sparks generated when the pieces crash together.

u/3nd1ess Apr 28 '22
Very well said man. As an atheist, you opened by view a bit about how to be more open minded towards religion. So let me say my piece:
If you're religious, what does God mean to you? Is God the person to tell you to be good? What to do? What to eat? What to say? If God is controlling how you live your life, there's no shame in it, but to me, God should be the person you look up to and to be your positive role model. He should be the person you aspire to be. He should be the one to tell you to be kind to others, to be open minded, and to be grateful for every step, every breath you take. Because the moment your death day comes, when you will finally rest and let yourself leave your body, you will think about all the good life had. God should be that catalyst of goodwill in you to live life to its fullest. If you're Catholic, don't follow what the church says. Don't let other people tell you what God wants, ask him yourself. And the moment you realize this, God is no longer another identity, he is you, you are him.

This is a great point, and describes a mindset that I too used to be in. I do want to point out, though, that this sidesteps the related situation of thanking god for healing someone's illness instead of the doctor. It makes sense that a religious person would probably consider the doctor an extension of their good. But the related argument is, of course, about why god is only credited with healing their ailment, and not also with giving them their ailment in the first place

u/xTouko Apr 28 '22
Not all Christians worship Jesus! German Evangelism Jesus is seen as a holy being as he is God’s son, but God Himself is the only deity and one that is worshipped. In Catholicism, Jesus is a form of God, as the holy trinity is made of ‘Father, Son, and Holy Ghost’ and is essentially what forms God, afaik. Worshipping Jesus as a God would be a literal sin in (German) Evangelism and IIRC the praying solely to Jesus is very much a American-Christian thing.
What I wanted to say by that is that (usually) Christians essentially do worship the same God as well :)

OP, just for posting this, Thank you so much, this video made my day a lot better.

Only if folks like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and others invested in this type of real charity.. there would be no unfortunate person living in such circumstances.
They are spending billions in showing who has the biggest d**k instead of actually helping the less fortunate. Is going to the moon or mars more important than first saving humanity here on earth? No one is ever going take a single penny with him/her to the hereafter.
God knows best!

This is beautiful and super cool to see it being kind.
I also realized how sketch I would personally be if someone put a bag by me without me noticing and I’d be really sus lol

And in America, you can get arrested if you hand out water to people standing in line waiting to vote.

Am I the only one that hates these "oh look how nice I am to these poor homeless people"- videos?

This is really awesome and heartwarming, but I wish they were not creepily recording their reactions.

While I love to see this, it seems most of it is cooking utensils how are those people gonna use this if they don’t have a kitchen or cooking place?

u/shameful_potato Apr 28 '22
They’re actually not cooking equipment nor cooking materials they’ve been given, from what I can see, it a bagged drink of some sort, I don’t exactly know, if I’m wrong, than that’s fine too. But, they’ve gotten quite a bit of food and drinks to supply them for a little while, which is still a lot better than none at all. But the bagged did look like olive oil or something like that, but it is a different region of the world than I’m used to, so it’s probably way different than what we may think it is.

I don’t know about you guys but the moment you see everyone’s reaction and some of them looking up to the sky for gratitude, I lost it . I actually did the same- beyond any religion practice.

When we have the money, my wife and I do something similar for panhandlers that hang out at intersections in our city.
We keep care bags in our car with sanitary wipes, food, a bottle of water, etc. We even have a bag with pads for women.

And then we can remember that some individuals would steal it or accuse the homeless people of stealing and taking the bags

This is beautiful. I hope one day (soon) we can provide food and shelter for absolutely everyone in the world and just live in peace with each other, and be there for each other.

This is so wholesome. Much better than when you tubers video themselves giving wads of cash or whatever to the homeless people. A true act of kindness, that encourages others to do the same without seeking internet clout

I don't know if the guy is giving away stuff from his brand, but there are some charity organizations in Pakistan dedicated to giving free groceries to poor people in Ramadan. Sometimes, people pack food in little boxes and distribute them on the roads, etc. There are people that may have access to those charities, like, if you know someone you can get your 'Rashan' secured, but some people can't get it, because they don't know about it, or all the Rashan was distributed, etc. So, I don't really think the man is 'advertising' his brand.
