Page 80 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan
P. 80

Children are often unaware of the misery they suffer. However, as this picture
              shows, adults do know what they are going through. Yet, they resort to the wrong
              methods to save themselves. The unique solution, however, lies in the Qur'an.


                 have left their homes in the Way of Allah. They should rather pardon and
                 overlook. Would you not love Allah to forgive you? Allah is Ever-Forgiving,
                 Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nur: 22)

                 Allah, in the Qur'an, explains how the wealthy should address the
              needs of the poor. For instance, Allah says that some portion of the
              properties of the wealthy belongs to the poor. Allah says that some people
              do not disclose their poverty, and that the rights of these people should
              be protected:
                 And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the
                 (needy), him who asked and him who (for some reason) was prevented
                 (from asking). (Surat adh-Dhariyat: 19)
                 It (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)
