by putting hypocrisy in their hearts until the day they meet Him
because they failed God in what they promised Him and because
they lied. (Surat at-Tawba, 75-77)

Satan promises you poverty and commands you to avarice. God
promises you forgiveness from Him and abundance. God is All-
Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqarah, 268)

SPENDING ONE’S WEALTH AND POSSESSIONS IN
THE WAY OF GOD INSTEAD OF HOARDING IT

Spend in the Way of God. Do not cast yourselves into destruction.
And do good: God loves good-doers. (Surat al-Baqarah, 195)
... As for those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it
in the Way of God, give them the news of a painful punishment.
On the Day it is heated up in the fire of Hell and their foreheads,
sides and backs are branded with it (and they are told): ‘This is what

you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you were hoarding!’ (Surat
at-Tawba, 34-35)
Who gathered his wealth and counted it. He thinks his wealth will
make him live for ever. No indeed! He will be flung into the Shatterer.
And what will convey to you what the Shatterer is? The kindled Fire
of God reaching right into the heart. (Surat al-Humazah, 2-6)
No indeed! You do not honour orphans nor do you urge the feeding
of the poor; you devour inheritance with voracious appetites and

you have an insatiable love of wealth. (Surat al-Fajr, 17-20)
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world)
diverts you (from the more serious things), until you visit the
graves. (Surat at-Takathur, 1-2)
