242 The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)

TO GIVE AWAY FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH

You will not attain true goodness until you give of what
you love. Whatever you give away, Allah knows it. (Surah
Al 'Imran, 92)

It [the charity] is for the poor who are held back in the
Way of Allah, unable to travel in the land. The ignorant
consider them rich because of their reticence. You will
know them by their mark. They do not ask from people
insistently. Whatever good you give away, Allah knows it.
(Surat al-Baqara, 273)
They will ask you what they should give away. Say:
"Whatever is surplus to your needs." (Surat al-Baqara, 219)

Gospel

...The man with two tunics should share with him who has none,
and the one who has food should do the same. (Luke 3:11)
Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
(Romans 12:13)
There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time
those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money
from the sales and put it at the Apostles' feet, and it was distributed
to anyone as he had need. (Acts 4:34-35)

Torah

And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly
reap the corners of thy field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of
your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the so-
journer:.... (Leviticus, 23:22)
