The Majestic Quran

a hurricane with lightening and fire that burns his orchard to ashes? This is how God makes clear His signs, so that you may reflect. G 267 Believers, give in charity of the good things that you have earned and that We have brought forth for you from the soil. Do not pick out the least attractive things to give in charity, things you wouldn’t readily accept yourselves. Know that God is Self-Sufficient, Worthy of all praise. 268 The Satan scares you of poverty, and he urges you to behave indecently, but God promises you a share of His forgiveness and bounty. God is the Vast, the Knowing. W 269 He gives wisdom to whom He pleases, and whoever is given wisdom has received great goodness, but only understanding people are mindful of this fact . 48 W , G 270 Whatever you give in charity or vow you make, God knows it. Evildoers will have no helpers. 271 If you give charity openly, that is wonderful, but giving it secretly to the needy is even better; in both cases it will compensate for your sins. God is fully aware of what you do. 272 It is not for you, Muhammad , to guide them, rather God guides anyone who wants to be guided. Whatever good things you give in charity will benefit yourselves; that is, if you give, seeking only God’s pleasure. Whatever good things you give in charity will be rewarded, and you will be not short-changed in the least. H 273 Give charity to the poor who are completely absorbed working in the way of God, unable to travel about the land to earn their livelihood . Because of their modest behaviour some ignorant people consider them wealthy. You can recognise them from their facial expression and the fact that they do not make demands on people. Whatever good things you give in charity, God knows it well. 274 People who give their wealth in charity by night or by day, secretly or openly, shall have their reward from their Lord: they shall neither fear nor grieve.
