They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans
and captives. (Qur'an, 76:8)
Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travellers
but do not squander what you have. (Qur'an, 17:26)
What you give with usurious intent, aiming to get back a greater
amount from people's wealth, does not become greater with Allah.
But anything you pay as alms, seeking the Face of Allah – all who
do that will get back twice as much. (Qur'an, 30:39)
Give orphans their property, and do not substitute bad things for
good. Do not assimilate their property into your own. Doing that
is a serious crime. (Qur'an, 4:2)
Do not hand over to the simple-minded any property of theirs for
which Allah has made you responsible, but provide for them and
clothe them out of it, and speak to them correctly and courteously.
(Qur'an, 4:5)
Allah commands you to return to their owners the things you hold
on trust and, when you judge between people, to judge with
justice. How excellent is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah is
All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Qur'an, 4:58)
If you make your charity public, that is good. But if you conceal
it and give it to the poor, that is better for you, and We will erase
some of your bad actions from you. Allah is aware of what you do.
(Qur'an, 2:271)
You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for
Allah alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives.
Whether they are rich or poor, Allah is well able to look after them.
Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth. If you
twist or turn away, Allah is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 4:135)
They are people who listen to lies and consume ill-gotten gains.
If they come to you, you can either judge between them or turn
away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot harm
you in any way. But if you do judge, judge between them justly.
Allah loves the just. (Qur'an, 5:42)
