Share Your Resources with Other Human Beings

SHARE YOUR RESOURCES WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS Individuals are permanently indebted to society. Human decency demands that a part of one’s earnings be regularly given to the needy and the deprived, on a regular basis. T he Quran explains in detail which people will be ushered into Paradise in their next life. One of their qualities has been described thus: “They give a due share of their wealth to those who ask [for help] and to the destitute.” (70:24-25) In the present world everyone has many associations with other human beings. On the one hand, he is linked with the vaster world of nature and, on the other hand, with human society. Whatever a person does, there is an amalgam of all these elements in his life. No one has the power to be independent of his environment and achieve things of value in total isolation.
