Daana / donation / charity as known is a way of sharing what we have with others who are in need.
In some cases, it has been misunderstood that Daana is a good deed which should be done at the cost of one's own well being. But that need not be the case. As humans, we are all entitled to have what we need for survival and serve our purpose. Anything in excess should be offered to others who are needy.
As I see it, Daana is another way of developing detachment to the material things. It's a step closer for the soul to be able to let go of it's material attachments and move on to the next stage.
Daana should be a natural phenomenon of giving back what we took from this world.
