BOUNTY INCREASE:<br />

2:3 - Who believe in the Unseen are steadfast in prayer and spend out of what We have provided<br />

for them. 27<br />

27 All bounties proceed from God. They may be physical gifts, e.g., food, clothing, houses, gardens, wealth, etc. or<br />

intangible gifts, e.g., influence, power, birth and the opportunities flowing from it, health, talents, etc. or spiritual gifts,<br />

e.g, insight into good and evil, understanding of men, the capacity for love, etc. We are to use all in humility and<br />

moderation. But we are also to give out of every one of them something that contributes to the well-being of others.<br />

We are to be neither ascetics nor luxurious sybarites, neither selfish misers nor thoughless prodigals. (2.3)<br />

35:30 - For He will pay them their meed nay He will give them (even) more out of His Bounty; for<br />

He is Oft-Forgiving Most Ready to appreciate (service). 39163917<br />

3916 No man is perfect. Everyone has his fault. But when a man tries his best in the service of Allah, his faults are blotted<br />

out, and he is treated as if he had committed no faults: "for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, and ready to appreciate service".<br />

(35.30)<br />

3917 Cf. xiv. 5, and n. 2877 for shakur. Allah is ready to recognise, appreciate, and reward the smallest service, without<br />

regard to the defects in that service. His gracious acceptance is compared to "gratitude" among men. (35.30)<br />

42:26 - And He listens to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness and gives them<br />

increase of His Bounty: but for the Unbelievers there is a terrible Penalty. 4564<br />

4564 To the prayers of the righteous He listens, and He gives them of His Bounty beyond their deserts. Every time they do<br />

a little good, they are increased in their goodness. Every right impulse or aspiration is strengthened and leads to<br />

progressive spiritual advancement. (42.26)<br />

2:200 - So when ye have accomplished your holy rites celebrate the praises of Allah as ye used to<br />

celebrate the praises of your fathers yea with far more heart and soul. There are men who<br />

say: "Our Lord! give us (thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the<br />

hereafter. 223224<br />

224 If you hasten to get all the good things of the world, and only think of them and pray for them, you would lose the<br />

higher things of the future. The proper Muslim attitude is neither to renounce this would nor to be so engrossed in it<br />

as to forget the spiritual future. (2.200)<br />

93:11 - But the Bounty of thy Lord Rehearse and proclaim! 6187<br />

6187 Besides the petitioners, who ask for help, there is the case of those who do not ask but are nevertheless poor-poor<br />

but contented in worldly goods, or poor in knowledge or resources and not even knowing that they are poor. If you are<br />

bountifully endowed by Allah, your duty is to make that Bounty spread far and wide. Proclaim it and share it, as the<br />

holy Prophet always did. We all receive Allah's grace and guidance in some degree or other. We all owe it as a duty to<br />

our fellow-men to be kind and helpful to those less endowed in any respect than ourselves. (93.11)<br />
