(Harun Yahya)

It is not devoutness to turn your faces to the East or to the
West. Rather, those with true devoutness are those who have
faith in God and the Last Day, the Angels, the Book and the
Prophets, and who, despite their love for it, give away their
wealth to their relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to
travelers and beggars and to set slaves free, and who establish
prayer and pay alms; those who honor their contracts when they
make them, and are steadfast in poverty and illness and in battle.
Those are the people who are true. They are the people who have
piety. (Qur'an, 2:177)

They will ask you what they should give away. Say, "Any wealth
you give away should go to your parents and relatives and to
orphans and the very poor and travelers." Whatever good you do,
God knows it. (Qur'an, 2:215)
They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans
and captives: We feed you only out of desire for the Face of God.
We do not want any repayment from you or any thanks. (Qur'an,

76:8-9)
Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travelers but
do not squander what you have. (Qur'an, 17:26)
Having provided this information, let us now ask the question,

why do people steal in the first place?

It is impossible in a society
that abides by the genuine
Sharia of the Qur'an for
there to be rich people as
well as poor ones. The rich
always protect those in
need and have a responsi-
bility to give to the poor.
