Answer 1

Hi I am a muslim, I will tell you of a true story in Islam that teaches people to be generous to the needy.
Ali ibn Abi talib had ten coins of which he wanted to buy some necessities. He passed an old woman in his way who looked desperately poor so he gave her the ten coins so he was unable to buy what he needed. Shortly after he met with a friend who was on his way to sell his camel, he asked Ali if he could sell his camel for him. He told him that he wished to gain seventy coins from the sale and if the camel sold for more the rest of the money Ali should take for himself. So Ali took the Camel to the market and was able to sell it for one hundred and seventy coins so he gained 100 coins.
Tje moral taught in the story is whatever you give to others out of generousity you will gain back tenfold.

I hope this story helps dear.

Answer 2

There's the one where Jesus healed the sick on the sabbath. The jewish elders said it was proof that his teachings were blashphemy because of the teaching that the sabbath is holy. Jesus used the parable about the shepherd saving his sheep if it were in danger. He asked what shepherd wouldn't rescue his sheep if need be?
And there's one where people were giving alms to the poor, and one lady gave a very small amount of money because she was so poor. Jesus said her gift was greatest of all because she gave everything when she had nothing.
