“Khairat” (خيراة or خيرات) is an Arabic term that generally means “charity,” “benevolence,” or “good deeds.” It is derived from the root word “khair” (خير), which means “good” or “goodness.”
The term is often used in the context of giving to those in need or doing charitable acts for the benefit of others. It can also refer to a charitable fund or donation given to help people in need, particularly within Islamic culture and tradition.
