This reference needs to be considered in context to be properly appreciated: Matthew 6:1-4 - "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly." [NKJV] Jesus is using hyperbole in v3 (a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis) to stress the importance of doing charitable deeds secretly. Think of our modern setting, in which many benefactors make charitable donations mainly for PR purposes…accompanied by press releases, news reporters, perhaps even live television coverage (sounding a Trumpet before them)…to be seen as generous, caring and concerned. Such charity arises from insincere motives, and while it does indeed benefit the recipient, Jesus says that its only reward to the giver will be the praise that men offer. On the other hand, charity that arises only from true concern for the recipient should be anonymous (the point of the hyperbole). The giver, seeking NO praise for his generosity, will be rewarded by God rather than men.

Why do Muslims eat with only their right hand?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded people to eat with their right hands and forbade them to eat with their left hands. He said, "The Shaytaan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand." Narrated by Muslim (2020). This implies that eating with the left hand is haraam, and this is the correct view, because the one who eats with his left hand is either a shaytaan (a devil), or he is imitating the Shaytaan.
