Charity -spend wealth in the way of Allah, to avoid greed and stinginess, according to the Quran

The selected Quran verses emphasize the importance of being generous, moderate, truthful, and humble in one's actions and words. They encourage believers to spend their wealth in the way of Allah, to avoid greed and stinginess, and to be sincere and humble in their actions. These verses also warn against hypocritical behavior and remind us of the consequences of our actions on the Day of Resurrection.

Here are the translations and explanations for each of the verses:

Quran 3:180: "And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted." This verse warns against greed and stinginess, and reminds us that withholding what Allah has given us will not benefit us in the long run. Instead, it will lead to regret and punishment on the Day of Resurrection. The verse emphasizes that Allah is fully aware of our actions, and that we will be held accountable for them.

Quran 4:37: "Those who spend their wealth [in Allah's way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve." This verse emphasizes the value of spending one's wealth in the way of Allah, both publicly and privately. It reassures believers that their efforts will be rewarded by Allah, and that they have nothing to fear or grieve about.

Quran 25:67: "And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate." This verse encourages believers to spend their wealth in a balanced manner, without being excessive or stingy. It emphasizes the importance of moderation and balance in all aspects of life, including the use of one's wealth.

Quran 47:37: "And do not be like those who say, 'We have heard,' while they do not hear." This verse warns against hypocritical behavior, and reminds us to listen and understand before speaking or acting. It emphasizes the importance of being truthful and sincere in our actions and words.

Quran 57:24: "So that you may not despair over what has eluded you nor exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful." This verse reminds us to avoid despairing over what we do not have, or becoming too proud and boastful over what we do have. It emphasizes the importance of remaining humble and grateful in all circumstances, and reminds us that Allah dislikes arrogance and self-delusion.

Quran 92:8: "As for he who gives and fears Allah," This verse highlights the importance of giving in the way of Allah while also having a reverent fear of Him. It emphasizes that the act of giving should be done with sincerity and humility, and that it should be done out of a desire to please Allah.
