"Those who are miserly with what God has granted them out of His grace should not think that it is good for them; on the contrary, it is bad for them. Whatever they meanly withhold will be hung around their necks on the Day of Resurrection. It is God who will inherit the heavens and earth: God is well aware of everything you do."

"As for those who avoid grave sins and foul acts, though they may commit small sins, your Lord is ample in forgiveness.
