As for those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, then do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury (or taunt), for them, their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Kind words with forgiveness and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury (taunts). Allah is free of all wants and He is Most Forbearing." (Q. 2:261-263) The Satan frightens you of poverty and entices you for indecent means of livelihood but Allah promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties, and Allah is Ample-giving and All-knowing. (Q. 2:268) By no means, shall ye attain to piety until ye spend (benevolently on the needy) out of what ye cherish (particularly your wealth). And whatever ye give away surely Allah knoweth it. (Q. 3:92) Say: whatever wealth ye spend, let it be for the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer. (Q. 2:215) Alms are (specially) for the poor, who are engaged in the cause of Allah (or jn the social or moral uplift of their   people) and cannot travel in the land (for livelihood). He who knoweth them not, taketh them for well-to-do folk, because of their bearing of self respect. But you can recognise them by their features (as poor), though they ask not of people importunately. And of whatever you give in charity (to such), surely Allah knoweth it. Those who spend their wealth (in charity) by night and by day, in private and in public, shall have reward with their Lord: and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Q. 2:273-274) And hasten for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a paradise vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous; for those who spend (benevolently) in ease and also in adversity, and        those who control their anger, and pardon men: surely Allah loveth those who do good. " (Q. 3:133-134)
