LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

GIVING AWAY THE NICE AND GOOD THINGS ONE
LIKES; REFRAINING FROM TRYING TO GIVE AWAY
THE THINGS ONE DOES NOT WANT OR LIKE TO
OTHERS
You will not attain true goodness until you give of what you love.
Whatever you give away, God knows it. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 92)

You who believe! Give away some of the good things you have
earned and some of what the earth produces for you. Do not have
recourse to bad things when you give, things you would only
take with your eyes tight shut! Know that God is Rich Beyond
Need, Praiseworthy. (Surat al-Baqarah, 267)

KEEPING IN MIND THAT GOD GREATLY AWARDS
THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR POSSESSIONS AWAY
AND BESTOWS A GREAT BLESSING UPON THEM
The metaphor of those who spend their wealth in the Way of
God is that of a grain which produces seven ears; in every ear
there are a hundred grains. God gives such multiplied increase to
whoever He wills. God is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat
al-Baqarah, 261)
… Anything you spend in the Way of God will be repaid to you
in full. You will not be wronged. (Surat al-Anfal, 60)

Say: ‘My Lord expands the provision of any of His servants He
wills or restricts it. But anything you expend will be replaced by
Him. He is the Best of Providers.’ (Surah Saba’, 39)
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 God can recompense them for the best of what they did.

(Surat at-Tawba, 121)
