The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Koran: charity before addressing him; that is better for you, and more
pure. But if ye find not the means,- then God is forgiving,
compassionate. What! do ye shrink from giving in charity before
addressing him? then if ye do it not, and God relents towards you,
then be steadfast in prayer, and give alms, and fear God and His
Apostle; for God is well aware of what ye do!
Dost thou not look at those who take for patrons a people God is
wrath with? they are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to you
a lie the while they know; for them God has prepared severe torment;
verily, evil is it they have done!
They take their faith for a cloak; and they turn men aside from
The Koran |
