304 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

ALLAH'S GENEROSITY TOWARDS MARYAM
Her Lord accepted her with approval and made her grow in health
and beauty. And Zakariyya became her guardian. Every time Za-
kariyya visited her in the Upper Room, he found food with her. He
said, 'Maryam, how did you come by this?' She said, 'It is from Allah.
Allah provides for whoever He wills without any reckoning.' (Surah
Al 'Imran, 37)

BELIEVERS WHO GIVE TO ORPHANS
They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and
captives. (Surat al-Insan, 8)

THOSE WHO DO NOT GIVE TO ORPHANS
No indeed! You do not honour orphans. (Surat al-Fajr, 17)

QUAILS AND MANNA
And We shaded you with clouds and sent down manna and quails
to you: 'Eat of the good things We have provided for you.' They did not
wrong Us; rather it was themselves they were wronging. (Surat al-
Baqara, 57)
We divided them up into twelve tribes – communities. We revealed
to Musa, when his people asked him for water: 'Strike the rock with
your staff.' Twelve fountains flowed out from it and all the people
knew their drinking place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent
down manna and quails to them: 'Eat of the good things We have pro-
vided you with.' They did not wrong Us; rather it was themselves they
wronged. (Surat al-A'raf, 160)
Tribe of Israel! We rescued you from your enemy and made an ap-
pointment with you on the right hand side of the Mount and sent
down manna and quails for you. (Surah Ta Ha, 80)
