                       Those of you possessing affluence and ample wealth should not
                       make oaths that they will not give to their relatives and the very
                       poor and those who have migrated in the way of God. They should
                       rather pardon and overlook… (Surat an-Nur, 22)
                       They will ask you what they should give away. Say, “Any wealth
                       you give away should go to your parents and relatives and to or-
                       phans and the very poor and travelers…” (Surat al-Baqara, 215)

                       ... Eat of them and feed those who are poor and in need. (Surat al-
                       Hajj, 28)

                       [Believers are] those in whose wealth there is a known share for
                       beggars and the destitute. (Surat al-Ma'arij, 24-25)
                       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. Truly We fear from
                       our Lord a glowering, calamitous Day.” (Surat al-Insan, 8-10)
                       In the Qur'an, God also reveals that those who do not help the
                  poor and weak will be rewarded with Hell:
                       They [the companions of the Right] will ask the evildoers: “What
                       caused you to enter Saqar?” They will say, “We were not among
                       those who performed prayer and we did not feed the poor.” (Surat
                       al-Muddaththir, 41-44)
                       Then bind him in a chain which is seventy cubits long. He used not
