Abstract
The research of the vast charity culture of the non-Christian communities in East and West has been ignored by ideological reasons. It is a scientific must to study all systems of charitable practice, their specific spiritual motivations and their religious concepts. Then we can smooth the way for the mobilizing of the charitable sources of all religions. The increasing new global poverty needs the motivating help of all religions and religious communities: the Nara Seva of the Hindus, the secular compassion of the Engaged Buddhism, the Charity of the Christians, the Zakah, Sadaqah and Waqf of the Muslim and the social welfare work of all the other groups and individuals in the world. The abuse of charity for making converts should give way to an inter-religious and inter-cultural cooperation of all charity people.
