forgiveness, and generous sustenance: (8:2,3,4)

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is
righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the
Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for
your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the
ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil
the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or
suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people
of truth, the Allah.fearing (2:177)

you some of your (stains of) evil. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do.
(2:271)

(Charity is) for those in need, who, in Allah.s cause are restricted (from travel),
and cannot move about in the land, seeking (For trade or work): the ignorant

them by their (Unfailing) mark: They beg not importunately from all the sundry.
And whatever of good ye give, be assured Allah knoweth it well. (2:273)
