Karam

Karam — generosity — is the primary virtue that al-Ghazali prescribes as the cure for bukhl, and he presents it as one of the most valued and most comprehensive virtues in Islamic character. The generous person is not merely someone who gives money freely but someone whose entire orientation is one of abundance rather than scarcity — who approaches every relationship, every encounter, and every opportunity with an orientation of giving rather than taking. Al-Ghazali traces the connection between generosity and other virtues: the generous person tends toward humility (they do not hold what they have as their own), toward tawakkul (they trust Allah's provision enough to release what they hold), and toward love of others.

As understood in the classical tradition of Imam al-Ghazali and the scholars of his school.
