ALLAH IS GENEROUS

But the Face of your Lord will remain, Master of Majesty and Generosity. (Surat ar-Rahman, 27)

Blessed be the name of your Lord, Master of Majesty and Generosity. (Surat ar-Rahman, 78)


ALLAH'S GENEROSITY TOWARDS ALL PEOPLE

As for man, when his Lord tests himby honouring him and favouring him, he says, 'My Lord has honoured me!' (Surat al-Fajr, 15)

'Eat and drink with relish for what you did before in days gone by!' (Surat al-Haqqa, 24)

What about the one who argued with Ibrahim about his Lord, on the basis that Allah had given him sovereignty? Ibrahim said, 'My Lord is He Who gives life and causes to die.' He said, 'I too give life and cause to die.' Ibrahim said, 'Allah makes the sun come from the East. Make it come from the West.' And the one who was a disbeliever was dumbfounded. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people. (Surat al-Baqara, 258)

And when you said, 'Musa, we will not put up with just one kind of food so ask your Lord to supply to us some of what the earth produces – its grains, cucumbers, garlic, lentils and onions,' he said, 'Do you want to replace what is better with what is inferior? Go back to Egypt, then you will have what you are asking for.' Abasement and destitution were stamped upon them. They brought down anger from Allah upon themselves. That was because they rejected Allah's Signs and killed the Prophets without any right to do so. That was because they rebelled and went beyond the limits. (Surat al-Baqara, 61)

ALLAH'S GENEROSITY TOWARDS MARYAM

Her Lord accepted her with approval and made her grow in health and beauty. And Zakariyya became her guardian. Every time Zakariyya visited her in the Upper Room, he found food with her. He said, 'Maryam, how did you come by this?' She said, 'It is from Allah. Allah provides for whoever He wills without any reckoning.' (Surah Al 'Imran, 37)


BELIEVERS WHO GIVE TO ORPHANS

They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and captives. (Surat al-Insan, 8)


THOSE WHO DO NOT GIVE TO ORPHANS

No indeed! You do not honour orphans. (Surat al-Fajr, 17)


QUAILS AND MANNA

And We shaded you with clouds and sent down manna and quails to you: 'Eat of the good things We have provided for you.' They did not wrong Us; rather it was themselves they were wronging. (Surat al-Baqara, 57)

We divided them up into twelve tribes – communities. We revealed to Musa, when his people asked him for water: 'Strike the rock with your staff.' Twelve fountains flowed out from it and all the people knew their drinking place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down manna and quails to them: 'Eat of the good things We have provided you with.' They did not wrong Us; rather it was themselves they wronged. (Surat al-A'raf, 160)

Tribe of Israel! We rescued you from your enemy and made an appointment with you on the right hand side of the Mount and sent down manna and quails for you. (Surah Ta Ha, 80)
