Repel not the beggar


Allah Says,''Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression. And do not repel the beggar."(surah Duha 93:9-10)

Allah says,''Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.(Surah Baqarah Ayat-177)

Allah says,''And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allah , and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.(Surah Nur Ayat-22)

Allah Says,''Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense? For that is the one who drives away the orphan,And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
So woe to those who pray.{But] who are heedless of their prayer -hose who make show [of their deeds],And withhold [simple] assistance.(Surat Al-Ma`un Ayat-1,7)


Allah Says,''Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.(Al-Quran 4:36)
