MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Son of Adam, if you spend your surplus [wealth] it will be better for you, if you retain it, it will be harmful to you. You will not be blamed for keeping what meets your needs. Begin [charity] with your dependents; and the upper hand is better than the lower hand1." Footnotes: 1- The upper hand refers to the one that gives; the lower hand is the one that begs. ”
