Quran and Ahadith on the poor
and needy
Abdul Malik Mujahid | Courtesy: www. SoundVision.com
1. The Quran
Attitude of the giver of
charity
Those who spend their wealth in
the way of Allah and do not follow
up their spending by stressing their
benevolence and causing hurt, will
find their reward secure with their
Lord. They have no cause for fear
and grief.
To speak a kind word and to forgive
people’s faults is better than charity
followed by hurt. Allah is All-
Sufficient, All-Forbearing
Believers! Do not nullify your acts of
charity by stressing your benevolence
and causing hurt as does he who
spends his wealth only to be seen by
men and does not believe in Allah
and the Last Day. The example of
his spending is that of a rock with a
thin coating of earth upon it: when
a heavy rain smites it, the earth is
washed away, leaving the rock bare;
such people derive no gain from their
acts of charity. Allah does not set the
deniers of the Truth on the right way.
(2:262 - 264)
The needy who do not do beg
Those needy ones who are wholly
wrapped up in the cause of Allah,
and who are hindered from moving
about the earth in search of their
livelihood especially deserve
help. He who is unaware of their
circumstances supposes them to be
wealthy because of their dignified
bearing, but you will know them by
their countenance, although they do
not go about begging of people with
importunity. And whatever wealth
you will spend on helping them,
Allah will know of it. (2:273)
Economic exploitation
And do not become like the woman
who, after having painstakingly spun
her yarn, caused it to disintegrate
into pieces. You resort to oaths
as instruments of mutual deceit
5
so that one people might take
greater advantage than another
although Allah puts you to the test
through this. Surely on the Day of
Resurrection He will make clear the
truth concerning the matters over
which you differed. (16:92)
Food and the needy
Have you seen him who belies the
rewards and punishments of the
Hereafter? He it is who drives away
the orphan and does not urge giving
away the food of the poor. (107:1 - 3)
Give to the near of kin his due, and
also to the needy and the wayfarers.
Do not squander your wealth
wastefully; for those who squander
wastefully are Satan’s brothers, and
Satan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
(17:26 - 27)
Greed
Look, you are being called upon to
expend in Allah’s Way, yet some of
you are being niggardly, whereas the
one who is niggardly is, in fact, being
niggardly only to himself. Allah is
Self-Sufficient: it is you who are the
needy. If you turn away, Allah will
replace you by another people, and
they will not be like you. (47:38)
Moderation in giving
Do not keep your hand fastened
to your neck nor outspread it,
altogether widespread, for you will
be left sitting rebuked, destitute.
(17:29)
(In reference to the slaves of Allah)
“who, when they spend, are neither
extravagant nor miserly but keep
the golden mean between the two
(extremes) (25:67)
Righteousness
You shall not attain righteousness
until you spend out of what you love
(in the way of Allah). Allah knows
whatever you spend. (3:92)
Sadaqa
6
(O Prophet!) Tell those of My
servants who believe that they should
establish Prayer and spend out of
what We have provided them with,
both secretly and openly, before
there arrives the Day when there will
be no bargaining, nor any mutual
befriending. (14:31)
Stinginess
Allah does not love the arrogant
and the boastful, who are niggardly
and bid others to be niggardly and
conceal the bounty which Allah
has bestowed upon them. We have
kept in readiness a humiliating
chastisement for such deniers (of
Allah’s bounty) (part of 4:36 and all
of 4:37)
Zakat-what you owe from
your money
The people who where given the
Book before this did not divide into
sects until after the clear statement
(of the Right Way) had come to
them, and the only Command they
were given was to worship Allah,
making their religion sincerely His,
turning all their attention towards
Him, and to establish the Salat and
to pay the Zakat: for this alone is the
most true and right religion. (98:4 -
5)
Establish Prayer and dispense the
Purifying Alms (Zakat) and bow in
worship with those who bow (2:43)
The believers, both men and women,
are allies of one another. They enjoin
good, forbid evil, establish Prayer,
pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His
Messenger. Surely Allah will show
mercy to them. Allah is All-Mighty,
All-Wise (9:71)
The alms (Zakat in this specific
verse?s case) are meant only for the
poor and the needy and those who
are in charge thereof, those whose
hearts are to be reconciled; and to
free those in bondage, and to help
those burdened with debt, and for
expenditure in the way of Allah and
for the wayfarer. This is an obligation
from Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Wise. (9:60)
2. The Hadiths
Begging
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam that the
Prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him) said: The
upper hand is better than the lower
hand (i.e. he who gives in charity
is better than him who takes it).
One should start giving first to his
dependents. And the best object of
charity is that which is given by a
wealthy person (from the money
which is left after his expenses). And
whoever abstains from asking others
for some financial help, Allah will
give him and save him from asking
others, Allah will make him self-
sufficient. (Bukhari)
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet
said: He who makes a habit of
asking from others reaches out for
a brand of Fire, so let him refrain or
continue, as he desires. (Muslim)
Clothing
Ibn Abbas related that the Prophet
said: Any Muslim who gives a
Muslim a garment to wear will be
in Allah’s safekeeping as long as a
shred of it remains on him. (Ahmad,
Tirmidhi)
Debt: Relieving the person in
debt
Abu Qatadah related that the
Prophet said: If anyone would like
Allah to save him from the hardships
of the Day of Resurrection, he should
give more time to his debtor who is
short of money, or remit his debt
altogether. (Muslim)
Food and the needy
Safwan ibn Salim related that the
Prophet said: Anyone who looks after
and works for a widow and a poor
person is like a warrior fighting for
Allah?s cause, or like a person who
fasts during the day and prays all
night. (Bukhari)
Anas related that the Prophet said:
If any Muslim plants something
or sows seed from which a man, a
bird or an animal eats, it counts as a
charity for him. (Bukhari, Muslim)
Relatives who are needy
Abu Huraira narrated that the
Prophet said: The best charity is
that which is practiced by a wealthy
person. And start giving first to your
dependents. (Bukhari)
Salman ibn Amer reported that the
Prophet said: To give something to a
poor man brings one reward, while
giving the same to a needy relation
brings two: one for charity and the
other for respecting the family ties.
(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Nasai, Tirmidhi)
Stinginess
Jabir reported that the Prophet
said: Avoid doing injustice to others,
for on the Day of Judgment, it
will turn into manifold darkness,
and safeguard yourself against
miserliness, for it ruined those who
were before you. It incited them to
murder and treating the unlawful as
lawful. (Muslim)
Zakat-what you owe from
your money
Abbas related that a man asked
the Prophet, Tell me what should
I do to be admitted to Paradise
and he (the Prophet) answered:
Worship Allah associating nothing
with Him, observe Salat, pay Zakat
and strengthen the ties of kinship.
(Bukhari, Muslim)
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet
said: When someone is made rich
but he does not pay Zakat for his
wealth, then on the Day of Judgment
his money will be turned into a
poisonous snake with two black spots
on its head. It will coil around his
neck and bite his cheeks and say: ‘I
am your wealth, I am your treasure’.
Then the Prophet recited verse 3:180
of the Quran. (Bukhari)

 8 Simple Steps
to Help You
Prepare for
Ramadan
Abu Productive @ www.productivemuslim.com
Have you ever wondered why
it is difficult to concentrate in
your prayer? Or why your faith
throughout the year is not on a
high like it is during Ramadan or
through Hajj? Maybe it is because
we usually jump straight from a
phone conversation into Takbir or
because we just go with the flow in
Ramadan and are influenced by the
environment around us and not our
own ‘real’ feelings.
A lot of us usually live life and have
our faith dependent on an upcoming
major event i.e. “I’m going to start
reading a page of Quran a day as
soon as Ramadan starts; I’m going
to start praying Qiyam every night
when I come back from hajj; or, I’m
going to stop smoking when my child
is born.”  And because of this way of
thinking we usually end up with an
anticlimax; we don’t end up giving
up smoking, we don’t end up praying
Qiyam and we start reading Quran
but then get back to our normal old
self after a few days or weeks.
This is because these ‘statements’
or ‘feelings’ are based on impulse
and not a real thought out plan. We
usually don’t prepare for Ramadan
or hajj or have a plan for our faith to
stay at the increase; we just go with
the flow and expect it all to happen.
Well, it doesn’t!
Wouldn’t you love to enter the month
of Ramadan on a real high and have
the effects of this beautiful month
be a permanent impact on your life
thereafter? How can this be done?
Below are the 8 steps for a Legacy of
a Ramadan.
Step 1 – Create a Ramadan
Count Down
Counting down for Ramadan
(whether it is done mentally or by
keeping physical signs around the
home or office) will help create hype
and buzz in your mind and amongst
the people around you. When you
and others are counting down to
the same event, it becomes part of
regular conversation and excitement
spreads.
Step 2 – Seek knowledge
about Ramadan
This will help you ensure you will
do things correctly and perfectly for
Ramadan, it will create a hype as
there are many motivational aspects
and events in the month to look
forward to and finally it is a reward
reaper.  The more you know about
Ramadan the more you can apply,
hence multiplying your rewards.
Step 3 – Make a Ramadan plan
Be it reading the entire Quran,
ensuring you pray taraweeh every
night or inviting families over for
iftaar; make a list of things you
would like to achieve in the month
and then how you plan on achieving
these goals. It is important that goals
are realistic and it is better that your
9
life doesn’t need to entirely take a
different road in this month (i.e. take
the month off work or change work
hours etc.) so that you may continue
to do these deeds after Ramadan.
Knowing what you want to achieve in
the month will help you stay focused.
Ensure you plan your day every night
before you sleep when Ramadan
starts (try to continue this even after
Ramadan).
Step 4 – Know your life
Be aware if Ramadan affects
anything that is happening in the
month or shortly after. Do you
have exams during Ramadan? Or is
there a major family wedding after
Ramadan by a short time? Moving
house? If so, plan for these events
from now. Study now so that you are
prepared for the exams before the
month starts. Be packed and ready
to go before Ramadan or plan that
you do it after so that it doesn’t take
time away from your worship. The
last thing you want to do is spend
Ramadan at the shopping centres.
Buy any Eid presents and prepare for
10
any wedding before the month starts.
Step 5 – Prepare spiritually
We all know that Ramadan is about
Fasting, Praying, Reading Quran
and giving in charity. Start these
worships early; don’t expect to just
click into it as soon as the first day
of Ramadan starts. Start doing extra
prayers from now, start revising
and regularly reading Quran now,
get used to being generous and
follow the Sunnah of the Prophet
Muhammad and fast during
Sha’baan.
Step 6 – Prepare your mind
Fasting is to refrain from more
than just what we consume in
our mouth. Start working on your
patience; be extra vigilant with your
conversations: ensure you are not
backbiting, slandering or talking
about useless things.
Step 7 – Say ‘good riddance’
to bad habits
Know what bad habits you have
and stop them from now, don’t wait
until Ramadan begins. If you sleep
late, start sleeping early, if you are a
Facebook junky start cutting down,
have a coffee craze, slow it down etc.
It might sound much easier said then
done, but once you’ve committed
yourself, purified your intentions
– make sincere dua for guidance. 
Insh’Allah, these bad habits will
be easier done with than you ever
expected.
Step 8 – Plan your life around
your worship
For instance; instead of working
through your prayer or setting up
meeting etc., at prayer times, plan
that you have a break at prayer time.
Don’t take your phone with you to
the place you pray and forget the
world as you stand between the
hands of the almighty Allah.

 Sadaqah in the form of Sacrifice
Give Sadaqah Regularly & May Allah Protect You

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Give the Sadaqah

without delay for it stands in the way of calamity.”
(Tirmidhi #1887)

The Prophet (pbuh) also said, “The most excellent sadaqah consists in your satisfying a hungry stomach.” (Tirmidhi #1946)
For most of us, meat is a common part of our diet - often times we even have several different types of meat in a single meal. However,
for so many others in the world, a meal including meat is a luxury that they seldom enjoy. Hidaya Foundation performs Sadaqah in the
form of Sacrifice on behalf of our donors and the meat is distributed to the poor, most of whom would not be able to eat meat otherwise.
Usually the sacrifice is performed within a few days of request from the donor. It costs $120 for a goat/sheep, and $420 for an ox/
buffalo. That includes the cost to purchase the animal, the actual sacrifice, preparing the meat into evenly portioned bags, and distributing
the meat among the poor.
Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that “The most beloved action to Allah’s
Apostle (pbuh) was that whose doer did it continuously and regularly.” (Bukhari #8.76.469)
