"Distribute alms from your possessions. If you do not avert your gaze from anyone who is poor, God will never turn his face away from you. Your almsgiving should be in proportion to your means. If you have been blessed with great abundance, give much; if you possess little, do not be afraid to give even some of that. In this way you will be accumulating for yourself a goodly treasure for the day of adversity. For almsgiving delivers the donor from death and saves people from descending into darkness. Those who give alms have a worthy offering in the presence of the Most High."
