Self Esteem


Allah commands spending wealth in His path, recognizing that humans are most attached to their wealth. Spending for the sake of Allah, therefore, signifies a deeper connection to His creation and a reflection of the brotherhood of mankind, as exemplified by Adam and Eve. Allah does not require food, drink, or clothing, yet when a believer expends their wealth for the comfort of others, it becomes an act of altruism that is highly valued by Allah.

However, to boast about such acts of charity or to belittle the poor and needy after giving is akin to mocking their poverty and asserting one's superiority. It is an affront to their dignity and an act of arrogance. A true believer is free from such degrading sentiments.

The Quran states:

O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charity with reminders or injury, like the one who spends his wealth to show off to people. You will never achieve righteousness until you give of that which you cherish most. (3:92, Al-Imran)
