Pure Charity

The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains.

Allah gives manifold increase to whom he wishes. He wishes. Allah has boundless knowledge. Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or injure the feeling of the recipient shall get their reward from their Rabb; they shall have nothing to fear or to grieve.

Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.

Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.

~Al-Baqarah, 2: 261-263~

Sincerity

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue

we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once

for its justness and its sincerity.

~Robert Hall~

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances,

but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

~Hattie McDaniel~

Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value

than the most talented hypocrite.

~Charles Spurgeon~
