Charity is not just recommended by Islam, it is required of every financially stable Muslim. 

Giving charity to those who deserve it is part of Muslim character and one of the Five Pillars of Islamic practice. 

Islam encourages the sharing of wealth with others and helps people to stand on their own and become productive members of the society.

The whole concept of wealth is considered in Islam as a gift from Allah.  Allah, who provided it to the person, made a portion of it for the poor, so the poor have a right over one’s wealth.
