If the guardian of an orphan is rich, let him abstain from the orphan's property, and if poor, let him eat of it fairly.11 When you hand over to them their property, then have some people to witness it, and Allah suffices as Reckoner.
[4:19-21] Respect and Protect Women's Rights: O Believers, it is not lawful for you to become the heirs of widows by force: nor is it lawful that you should treat your wives harshly in order to deprive them of a part of the dowry you have given them.

You should live with them in an honorable manner, even if you dislike them; it is possible that Allah may bring much good to you through that very thing you dislike. And if you make up your mind to marry another wife in place of the one you already have, do not take back anything out of what you have given her. even though it may have been a heap of wealth. Will you take it back by slander and gross injustice? And how is it proper for you to take it, when both of you have enjoyed conjugal happiness and she received from you a solemn pledge of union?

On
those who believe and do deeds of righteousness there is no blame for what they
ate (in the past), when they guard themselves from evil, and believe, and do
deeds of righteousness,- (or) again, guard themselves from evil and believe,-
(or) again, guard themselves from evil and do good. For Allah loveth those who
do good.

(freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance: Such in truth are
the believers: they have grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness, and
generous sustenance:
(Al-Anfal,
Chapter #8,

ye who believe! there are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in
Falsehood devour the substance of men and hinder (them) from the way of Allah.
And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of
Allah. announce unto them a most grievous penalty- On the Day when heat will be
produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded
their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, their flanks, and their backs.-

Verse #34
and #35)
Say:
"spend (for the cause) willingly or unwillingly: not from you will it be

they offer contributions unwillingly.

Verse #53
and #54)
There
is no blame on those who are infirm, or ill, or who find no resources to spend
(on the cause), if they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His Messenger. no
ground (of complaint) can there be against such as do right: and Allah is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse #91)
The
vanguard (of Islam)- the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those
who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds,- well-
pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared
gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme
felicity.
(At-Taubah, Chapter #9,
Verse #100)

could they spend anything (for the cause) - small or great- nor cut across a
valley, but the deed is inscribed to their credit: that Allah may requite their
deed with the best (possible reward).
(At-Taubah, Chapter #9,
Verse #121)
[12:23] Resisting Temptations and Evil Urges: ... "May Allah protect me from this! My Lord has given me a good abode: (and should I, then, misbehave like this?) Indeed, wrongdoers will never succeed."
Those
who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; Establish
regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their
sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good: for such there is
the final attainment of the (eternal) home,- Gardens of perpetual bliss: they
shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses,
and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the
salutation): "Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience! Now how
excellent is the final home!"

to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and
spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and
openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual
bargaining nor befriending.

Chapter #14,
Verse #31)
Allah
sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another;
He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed
goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and
publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them
understand not.
(An-Nahl, Chapter #16,
Verse #75)
[16:90] Be Merciful and Compassionate: Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.
[16:125] Counsel and Advise Others with Wisdom: O Prophet invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and discuss things with people in the best manner.
[17:23] Treat Parents with Utmost Kindness: ... Treat your parents with great consideration; if either or both of them live with you in their old age, do not say even "fie" to them: nor rebuke them, but speak kind words to them; treat them with humility and tenderness and pray: "Lord, be merciful to them just as they brought me up with kindness and affection."
[17:26-27] Supporting the Needy and Vulnerable: Fulfill your obligations towards your relatives and the indigent and the wayfarer. Do not be a spendthrift because the spendthrifts are the brethren of Satan and Satan has been ungrateful to his Lord."
And
render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the
wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. Verily
spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord
(himself) ungrateful.
(Al-Isra,
Chapter #17,
Verse #26
and #27)
Say (to the disbelievers): "If you possessed the treasure of the Mercy of my Lord (wealth, money, provision, etc.), then you would surely hold back (from spending) for fear of (being exhausted), and man is ever miserly!"
(Al-Isra, Chapter #17, Verse #100)

hath made it) Straight (and Clear) in order that He may warn (the godless) of a
terrible Punishment from Him, and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers
who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward,

and sons are allurements of the life of this world: But the things that endure,
good deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best as (the
foundation for) hopes.

Verse #46)
"And Allah doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things
that endure, good deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best
in respect of (their) eventual return."
(Maryam, Chapter #19,
Verse #76)
[20:114] Seek Knowledge for the Sake of Betterment: ... and pray, "O my Lord, increase me in knowledge."
[21:32] Environmental Protection: And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.
And
We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration
to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise regular charity;
and they constantly served Us (and Us only).

Twice
will they be given their reward, for that they have persevered, that they avert
Evil with Good, and that they spend (in charity) out of what We have given them.
(Al-Qasas, Chapter #28,
Verse #54)
If
any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil,
the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds.
(Al-Qasas, Chapter #28,
Verse #84)
But
those who believe and work deeds of righteousness - to them shall We give a Home
in Heaven,- lofty mansions beneath which flow rivers,- to dwell therein for
aye;- an excellent reward for those who do (good)!-

limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on their Lord, in Fear

ye are those invited to spend (of your substance) in the Way of Allah. But among

for them is a great Reward.
(Al-Hadid, Chapter #57,
Verse #7)
And
what cause have ye why ye should not spend in the cause of Allah.- For to Allah
belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those
who spent (freely) and fought, before the Victory, (with those who did so
later). Those are higher in rank than those who spent (freely) and fought
afterwards. But to all has Allah promised a goodly (reward). And Allah is well
acquainted with all that ye do.
(Al-Hadid, Chapter #57,
Verse #10)
[58:11] Seek Knowledge to Gain Status in Both Worlds: ... Those of you who have believed and have been granted knowledge, Allah will exalt them in ranks and Allah is well aware of whatever you do.
O
ye who believe! When ye consult the Messenger in private, spend something in
charity before your private consultation. That will be best for you, and most
conducive to purity (of conduct). But if ye find not (the wherewithal), Allah is
Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in
charity before your private consultation (with him)? If, then, ye do not so, and
Allah forgives you, then (at least) establish regular prayer; practise regular
charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is well-acquainted with all
that ye do.

[63:9-10] Be Generous in Spending: ... O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of Allah. And whoever does that - then those are the losers. Spend from the provisions that We have given you before death should come to any of you and then he should say, "O my Lord, why did You not reprieve me awhile that I should have given in charity and become of the righteous?"
So
fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey and spend in charity for the
benefit of your own soul and those saved from the covetousness of their own
souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
(At-Taghabun, Chapter #64,
Verse #16)
Let
the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your
means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their
wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until they deliver their burden: and
if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual
counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find
yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the
(father's) behalf.
(At-Talaq, Chapter #65,
Verse #6)
Let
the man of means spend according to his means: and the man whose resources are
restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no
burden on any person beyond what He has given him. After a difficulty, Allah
will soon grant relief.
(At-Talaq, Chapter #65,

[90: 13-16] Free Bonded Labour [9:60 and 2:177 also]. Provide Food and AssistanceIt is the freeing of a neck from bondage, or the feeding in a day of hunger of a nearly related orphan, or a poor man lying in the dust
But
those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- Those who spend their
wealth for increase in self-purification, And have in their minds no favour from
anyone for which a reward is expected in return, But only the desire to seek for
the Countenance of their Lord Most High; And soon will they attain (complete)
satisfaction.
(Al-Lail, Chapter #92,
Verses #17
and #18

"So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.'' (99:7)
Then,
he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy, Will
be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
(Al-Qaria,
Chapter #101,
Verse #6
and 7)
But
he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,- Will have his home in a
(bottomless) Pit. And what will explain to thee what this is? (It is) a Fire
Blazing fiercely!
(Al-Qaria,
Chapter #101,
Verse #8

O you who have believed, why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is in the sight of Allah that you should say that which you do not do. Allah indeed loves those who fight in His Way in ranks as though they were a solid wall. [Quran, 61:02]
