Page 428 - Learning from the Qur'an

Perform prayer and give alms. Any good you send ahead for
yourselves, you will find with Allah. Certainly Allah sees what
you do. (Qur'an, 2:110)

TO GIVE OPENLY OR SECRETLY
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)
Those who give away their wealth by night and day, secretly and
openly, will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no
fear and will know no sorrow. (Qur'an, 2:274)

TO PREFER GIVING CHARITY SECRETLY
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)

NOT TO SCOLD THOSE
WHO DEMAND CHARITY
And as for beggars, do not berate them. (Qur'an, 93:10)
TO GLORIFY AND PRAISE ALLAH
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High. (Qur'an, 87:1)

THE TIMES OF GLORIFICATION
So be steadfast in the face of what they say and glorify your Lord
with praise before the rising of the sun and before its setting. And
glorify Him during part of the night and at both ends of the day,
so that hopefully you will be pleased. (Qur'an, 20:130)
So glory be to Allah when you start the night and when you greet
the day. Praise be to Him in the heavens and the earth, in the
afternoon and when you reach midday. (Qur'an, 30:17-18)
