Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya)

will profit them and invoke God’s name on specific days over live-
stock He has provided for them. Eat of them and feed those who
are poor and in need. (Surat al-Hajj, 28)

They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans
and captives. (Surat al-Insan, 8)
If other relatives or orphans or poor people attend the sharing-out
(of what one leaves), provide for them out of it and speak to them
correctly and courteously. (Surat an-Nisa’, 8)
Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travellers but

do not squander what you have. (Surat al-Isra’, 26)

NOT REBUKING THOSE WHO BEG OF
THEIR OWN ACCORD
and as for beggars, do not berate them. (Surat ad-Dhuha, 10)

REFRAINING FROM SHOWING OFF TO OTHERS AND
PLEADING WITH PEOPLE WHEN HELPING OTHERS
You who believe! Do not nullify your charity by demands for grat-
itude or insulting words, like him who spends his wealth, showing
off to people and not believing in God and the Last Day. His like-

ness is that of a smooth rock coated with soil, which, when heavy
rain falls on it, is left stripped bare. They have no power over any-
thing they have earned. God does not guide disbelieving people.
(Surat al-Baqarah, 264)
Those who spend their wealth in the Way of God, and then do not
follow what they have spent by demands for gratitude or insulting
words will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear
and will know no sorrow. (Surat al-Baqarah, 262)
