A2 Proverb رسمی

bir elin verdiğini diğer el görmesin

charity should be secret

معنی

Do good deeds without showing off.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Sadaka Taşı' (Charity Stone) was a physical manifestation of this proverb. These stones allowed for anonymous giving and receiving, protecting the dignity of the poor. The 'Askıda Ekmek' (Bread on the Hook) tradition is a modern version. People pay for extra bread at a bakery and leave it for those who cannot afford it, following the proverb's spirit. The concept of 'Ihlas' (sincerity) requires that deeds be done for God alone. Showing off (Riya) is considered a spiritual poison. Many Turkish poets and writers, like Yunus Emre, emphasize the importance of the 'heart' over outward appearance, reinforcing this proverb's message.
