    And whenever you give your word, say the truth [al-An'aam 6:152]And seek help in patience and prayer [al-Baqarah 2:45]And speak good to people [al-Baqarah 2:83]And fulfil the Covenant of Allaah when you have covenanted [al-Nahl 16:91]Verily!

    out (from every difficulty) [al-Talaaq 65:2]And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him [al-Talaaq 65:3]He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allaah [al-Nisa' 4:80]By no means shall you attain al-birr (righteousness) until you spend (in Allaahs cause) of

    that which you love [Aal 'Imraan 3:92]Allaah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of Affairs (for us) [Aal

    'Imraan 3:171]And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance [al-Isra' 17:37]And turn not your face away from men with pride [Luqmaan 31:18]And be moderate (or show no arrogance) in your walking, and lower your voice [Luqmaan

    And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of obedience to

    Allaah as a favour to Allaah) [al-Muddaththir 74:6]O ye who believe! Do not squander one anothers wealth in vanities, but let there be

    amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good will. Quran:4:29 When my servants ask thee (O, Muhammad) concerning Me, tell them I am indeed close

    (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me. Quran:2:186 God does not forbid you to be kind and equitable to those who have neither fought against

    your faith nor driven you out of your homes. In fact God loves the equitable. Quran:60:8And in their (the earlier prophets) footsteps We sent Jesus the son o Mary, confirming the

    law that had come before him. We sent him the Gospel, therein was guidance and light and

    who fear God. Quran:5:46Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein, and whoever

    recommends and helps an evil cause shares in its burdens Quran:4:85Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden (paradise) whose

    width is that of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteousThose who spend

    (freely), whether in prosperity or in adversity, who restrain (their) anger and pardon (all)

    menfor God loves those who do good. Quran:3:133-134Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily, to them will We give

    a new Life, a life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according

    to the best of their actions. Quran:16:97The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain that

    sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. God gives manifold increase to

    whom He wishes. God has boundless knowledge. Those who spend their wealth in the cause

    of God, and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or injure the

    feeling of the recipient, shall get their reward from their Lord; they shall have nothing to

    fear or to regret.Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.
