                                 Spending and Giving


                     O 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 Allah is Rich Beyond Need, Praiseworthy.
                     Satan promises you poverty and commands you to avarice.
                     Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and abun-
                     dance. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat
                       Al-Baqara: 267-68)

                        You will not attain true goodness until you give of
                         what you love. Whatever you give away, Allah knows
                          it. (Surah Al 'Imran: 92)
                          Those who give away of their wealth by night and
                         day, secretly and openly, will have their reward with
                          their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no
                                       sorrow. (Surat Al-Baqara: 274)
                                        The metaphor of those who spend
                                             their wealth, desiring the plea-
                                              sure of Allah and firmness for
                                             themselves, is that of a garden
                                          on a hillside. When heavy rain falls
