Muslims give money to the poor because it is one of the 7 pillars of Islam, which is almsgiving. The 7 pillars were formed by Allah, who gave it to the prophet Muhammad. The 7 pillars are similar to the 10 Commandments of Christianity.

The Muslims must help the poor, the needy and the helpless. They can help the poor by Zakat that is obligatory 2.5% on annual savings. Allah Almighty has commanded the Muslims to spend in His way (Anfaq Fee Sabil Lillah). Allah Almighty commands the Muslims to be charitable to poor relatives, orphans, the poor, and the travelers. The Muslims may help the poor individually, by establishing funds in the community and by establishing schools and orphanages.

Thats odd that you would even ask this. To do the right thing? To achieve their afterlife? It has nothing to do with religion if you should help somebody. Do it out of the kindness of your own heart.

Muslims should help the people in such a way that if they help from the right hand, the left hand should not know about this.
