Those who (in charity) spend of their
goods by night and by day, in secret and in public , have their reward
with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
[Surah: Al-Baqara, Ayah: 274] ...
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said,
"The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid
(warrior) who fights for Allah's Cause, or like him who performs
prayers all the night and fasts all the day." (Sahih Bukhari, Book #64
, Hadith #265 )
But he who is greedy miser and thinks
himself self-sufficient. And gives the lie to Al-Husna (the best); We
will make smooth for him the path for evil; And what will his wealth
benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). [Quran: Al Lail,
Chapter-92, Verse 8-11]
