ON THE SUBJECT OF 57 CONTENTMENT, CHASTITY AND MODERATION IN SPENDING Let us start by reading some verses from the Koran Allah, the Exalted says: "There is not a crawling (creature) on the earth whose provision is not by Allah....." 11:6 Koran "(Charity is) for the poor who are restrained in the way of Allah, and are unable to journey in the land. The ignorant take them to be rich because of their abstinence. But you can recognize them by their signs. They do not persistently beg people. Whatever good you give is known to Allah." 2:273 Koran "who when they spend are neither wasteful nor miserly, between that is a just stand. 25:67 Koran "I have not created mankind and jinn except to worship Me. I do not desire provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me." 51:56-57 Koran
