The answer

The most beneficial act for people is the dearest act to Allah and the greatest in reward; as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most beloved of people to Allah Almighty are those most beneficial to people, and the most beloved of deeds to Allah Almighty are: a joy you bring to a Muslim, or relieving him of a hardship, or paying off a debt for him, or driving away his hunger." So, the best is what is most beneficial to Islam and Muslims, whether by earning a wage and giving it in charity or through voluntary work.
