JAKARTA - In the month of Ramadan 2021, Muslim people are encouraged to increase their alms. This is in line with the purpose of fasting, which is to thicken our sense of empathy. In addition, the reward of alms in the month of fasting is also promised to be multiplied.

"O son of Adam, berinfaklah for me, then I will give out for you." Thus a hadith explains the value of alms.

Allah promises that alms will not make you poor, even richer. Therefore, a lot of charity both in the field or in limited time.

The most important charity in the month of Ramadan is to feed and drink other people. Because the greatest reward is to satisfy other people. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has prohibited joint fasting and sakur activities.

But don't make restrictions an obstacle. We can still share by utilizing the platform that bridges small and medium enterprises with orphans. Order the food for breaking the fast from home, then send it to the orphanage and poor people. In this way, besides helping to break fasting, you are also active in helping SMEs to develop.

You can also share knowledge if you feel that you don't have enough skills to prepare food. Sharing knowledge is one of the alms that you can do in any month, including in the month of Ramadan. At home, you can correct each other reading the Koran with other family members.

There is also an easy way prepared by the SnackVideo application with the SmileTrain NGO to hold a donation program #SileymuSedekahmu. This program runs from April 12 to May 14, 2021. Users only need to share their videos with the hashtag #SfummuSedekahmu, so they have donated Rp. 1,000 for friends in need.

The funds collected will be given for operating costs for cleft lip friends. "Smile Train Indonesia welcomes the partnership with SnackVideo through the #S SmilemuSedekahmu program in the month of Ramadan 2021. We invite SnackVideo users to participate in realizing efforts to help children with cleft lip can smile." said Deasy Larasati, Country Manager, Smile Train Indonesia.
