Wealth turns into a disaster for those who hoard that wealth. The wealth of believers is for distributing on the Path of God and for being instrumental in goodness.
Believers are happy to spend their wealth for God. Hypocrites have an insane greed and consider spending for God as a loss. Believers don’t collect and accumulate wealth. It is a compassionate act of worship to distribute wealth.
Other languages
Hypocrites have an extreme fear about their future and dread what will happen in the future. They also fear losing their wealth. Hypocrites stay with believers for their own self-interest and when they have no self-interest left, they leave. Hypocrites greedily accumulate wealth and property. Muslims always distribute their wealth to earn the good pleasure of God.
Other languages
Muslim spends and distributes wealth in the way of God. Otherwise God could make that money hospital expenditure for that person, may God forbid.
According to the Qur’an, Muslims have an obligation to give away a part of their livelihood –what is left from their needs- to the needy. Muslims look after one another. There is no selfishness in Islam.
Other languages

If you are handing out charity to the poor, why do you care about how much it weighs? You may give or hand out as much as you can afford. You may give as much clothes or food as one can carry. Why are you measuring it in grams or whatnot? It is not befitting of the morals of Islam for one to weigh the goods to be handed out. One should hand them out by handfuls, in abundance.
Other languages
It is not befitting of a Muslim to make estimations or calculations when handing out a part of his possessions as charity. A believer gives his possessions without counting and bragging about it.
Other languages
There is no ambition of ownership in the morality described in the Qur'an. Everything belongs to everyone; brotherhood comes to the forefront. Everyone shares everything they have with their brothers. They will share everything they have, everything they eat, they drink, they wear, everything they own. There will be no such thing as hoarding goods, acting ambitiously, etc. These are all things that they have come up with later on saying, "You are to give one fortieth of the gold you own," etc. There is no such thing. The Qur'an tells us to give whatever is surplus to our actual needs.
Other languages
It is of course very important to be at our Prophet (saas)'s elbow. It is a great comfort for the Companions of our Prophet (saas). Actually people do not know the Islamic community that well. Muslims are like a big family. If one has a mansion with thirty rooms for instance, he fills it will Muslims, the food is cooked for all of them. The goods are distributed. Trade is done together, everything is shared and done commonly. That is an unprecedented system.
Other languages
Some people talk within the lines "But how are we to find the money?" about helping those who are in need. God would bring plenty in folds. The good deeds that will be attained is important, attaining the good pleasure of God is important. If you attain the good pleasure of God, He would give you riches. If you do not act in a way to attain His good pleasure and are stingy instead, God would take away everything you have and you would lose all your goods and possessions.
Other languages
At the time of our Prophet (saas) they were intimidating weak and characterless people. They were thus preventing them from joining our Prophet(saas). But those with strong faith and personality always remained beside the Messenger of God (saas).
Other languages
How could a loving person be stingy? He would of course be very generous and distribute all he has in the path of God. When a person loves, he becomes crazy for the love of God. He would only have eyes for the love of God and he would say, "What else would I do with all these materials things?" He searches and becomes madly in love with the love of God.
Other languages
Material possessions should be distributed, they should be spent on the Way of God. What would you do if you simply pile them up, what good would that do to you? On the other hand, if you spend what you have, you become richer and even more beautiful. You would be in comfort both in this world and in the Hereafter.
Other languages
Muslim spends on the way of Allah very wholeheartedly. Muslim would never spend in vain, he would not waste but he does not keep it tight either. When the money is spent on Muslims, on the way of Islam, Muslim spends it abundantly and never keeps it tight. Yet a Muslim would never spend money in vain.
