Page 145 - Learning from the Qur'an

You will not attain true goodness until you give of what you love.
Whatever you give away, Allah knows it. (Qur'an, 3:92)
Those who give in times of both ease and hardship, those who
control their rage and pardon other people–Allah loves the good-
doers. (Qur'an, 3:134)
Nor will they give away any amount, whether large or small, nor
will they cross any valley, without it being written down for them
so that Allah can recompense them for the best of what they did.
(Qur'an, 9:121)
Believe in Allah and His Messenger and give of that to which He
has made you successors. Those of you who believe and give will
have an immense reward. (Qur'an, 57:7)
And how is it with you that you do not give in the Way of Allah,
when the inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to
Allah? Those of you who gave and fought before the Victory are
not the same as those who gave and fought afterwards. They are
higher in rank. But to each of them Allah has promised the Best.
Allah is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 57:10)

THEY GIVE FROM THE PROVISIONS
ALLAH HAS GIVEN THEM,
BOTH SECRETLY AND OPENLY
Those who are steadfast in seeking the face of their Lord, and
perform prayer and give from the provision We have given them,
secretly and openly, and stave off evil with good, it is they who will
have the Ultimate Abode. (Qur'an, 13:22)

THEY SPEND IN THE WAY OF ALLAH
AS IS DUE
Your friend is only Allah and His Messenger and those who
believe: those who perform prayer and give alms, and bow.
(Qur'an, 5:55)
Those who give alms; (Qur'an, 23:4)
