ince God is the true Owner of all things and we are merely His trustees, wealth is to be produced, distributed, acquired and spent in a way which is pleasing to Him The acquisition of wealth is not an end in itself, nor is wealth to be squandered for meaningless or wasteful purposes, and above all it is not to be used in order to gain power over other people through exploitation or control of the means of livelihood Quran and Hadith make it very clear that any form of gain which results in some injustice or harm to others is an act of disobedience to God On the other hand, Quran tells us that next to purity of faith, the most pleasing in the sight of God is kindness and charity, forbearance and forgiveness, and doing good to others
Those who spend in charity, whether in prosperity or adversity, who restrain anger and pardon people for God loves those who do good to others"
