There are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in Falsehood devour the substance of men and hinder (them) from the way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty- On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, their flanks, and their backs. This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye buried!

Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. Those who spend their substance in the cause of Allah, and follow not up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury,-for them their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (al-baqara. 2: 261-262) وا الخب يث م نه ت نف ق ون يا اي ها الذ ين آ من وا انف ق وا م ن طي بات ما كس بت م و م م ا جنا لك م م ن االرض و ال تيمم اخر ر ك م ب الفحش اء يع د لست م ب آخ ذ يه ا ال ان ت غم ض وا ف يه و اعلموا ان ا لل غن ي ح م يد الشيطان ك م الفقر أم و ي و ع عل يم. )سورة البقرة اآلية ٠١٢-٠١٧ ( و اس يع د ك م مغف ر ة م نه و فضل.4 O ye who believe! Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you, and do not even aim at getting anything which is bad, in order that out of it ye may give away something, when ye yourselves would not receive it except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Free of all wants, and worthy of all praise. The Evil one threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly. Allah promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties. And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. (al-baqara. 2: 267-268) ل وا رس ول ا لل صل ى ار سأ ا لل عنه م ا أن ناسا م ن النص ي ض ال ك بن س نان الخ در ي ر عن أب ي س ع يد س عد بن م ك ن فق ال له م ح ين أنفق ك ل ش يء ب يد ه : "ما ي ا ع ند ه فأعطاه م ح ت ى نف د م فأعطاه م ث م سأل وه ا لل عليه و سلم ا أ عط ي. م صبر ي ص ب ره ا لل ت ن ي ستغن ي غن ه ا لل وم ن ي وم ستعف ف ي ع فه ا لل ن ي عنك م وم و ير فلن أدخ ه م ن خ ر أح د عطاء خ يرا و أ وس ع م ن الصبر " )متفق عليه(.5 Narrated by Abu Said Sa d Ibn Malik Ibn Sinan al-khudri (may Allah be pleased with them), Some Ansari persons asked for (something) from Allah s Messenger (p.b.u.h) and he gave them. They again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he gave them again till all that was with him finished. When he had nothing left to give, he said: 11 P a g e

م) If I had anything, I would not keep it away from you. (Remember) Whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience. (Bukhari, Zakat, 50, Riqaq 20; Muslim, Zakat, 124) عليه ص د قة ى م ن الن اس ي ا لل عنه قال : سلم : "ك ل س لم ض يرة ر لى ا لل عليه و قال رس ول ا لل ص عن أب ي ه ر له عليها أو ترفع له عليها ك ل يو م تطل ع ف يه الشمس: تعد ل بين اثنين ص د قة وت ع ين الرج ل في دابت ه فتحم ل يها إ لى الصلة ص د قة وت م يط ال ذى عن الطر يق ة ص د قة و ب ك ل خ طو ة تمش الكل مة الطي ب متاعه ص د قة و ص د قة " تفق عليه(.6 Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: There is a (compulsory) sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also sadaqa, and every step taken on one s way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also sadaqa and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also sadaqa. (Bukhari, Sulh, 11, Jihad 72; Muslim, Zakat, 56) ال ظ ل إ ال وم ة ي ظ ل ه م ا لل ف ي ظ ل ه ي سلم قال : س بع لى ا لل عليه و ب ي ص ي ا لل عنه عن الن ض عن أب ي ه ر يرة ر ا ج ل ن تح ابا ف ي ا لل اجتمع ور س اج د لق ب الم ع ج ل قل ب ه م ادة ا لل عز و ج ل ور عاد ل و ش اب نش أ ف ي ع ب ظ ل ه إ مام ج ل ت ص دق ب ص د قة أخفاها و ج م ال فقال إ ن ي أخ اف ا لل ور نص دعته امرأة ذات م ج ل عليه و تفرقا عليه ور. )متفق عليه( ذكر ا لل خ ال يا ففاض ت عيناه ت ى ال تعلم ش م ج ل ين ه ور م ح ال ه ما ت نف ق ي.7 Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah s Apostle (peace be upon him) said: Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are: (1) a just ruler; (2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood), (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque); (4) two persons who 12 P a g e

love each other only for Allah s sake and they meet and part in Allah s cause only; (5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah; (6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity). (7) A person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears. (Bukhari, Zakat 16; Muslim, Zakat 91) C) THULUTH NASKH Contestants can write the following texts in any form they wish provided that they pay close attention to the arrangement, composition and order of the meaning of the texts. In other words, contestants in this category may combine more than one verse or hadith. The nib of the thuluth pen should not be narrower than 1.5 mm and not wider than 3 mm while the nib of the naskh pen should not be wider than 1 mm. The panel size can be between 35x50 cm and 50x70 cm. Contestants are free to choose any size between these dimensions. Writings in thuluth should not be less than 5 (five) lines and the naskh texts should not be less than 10 (ten) lines. فأما من أعطى و اتقى و ص دق ب الح سنى ن ي ره ل لي سرى و أما من بخ ل و استغنى و كذب ب الح سنى ن ي ره فس س فس س ا ي غن ي عنه مال ه إ ذا دى إ ن علينا لله د ى. )سورة الليل اآلية ٦٠ ٣ ( ل لع سرى و م تر.1 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, And gives the lie to the best, We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide. (Al-Layl, 92: 5-12) يا أي ها الذ ين آمن وا ال ت بط ل وا ص د قات ك م ب الم ن و الذى كالذ ي ي نف ق ماله ر ئاء الن اس و ال ي ؤم ن ب ا لل الي و وم ال ون على ش يء م ما ب اب فأص ابه و اب ل كه ص لدا ال يقد ر اآلخ ر فم ثل ه كم ثل ص فو ان عليه كس وا فتر ت ر يهد ي ال قوم الكاف ر ين. )سورة البقرة اآلية ٠١٢ (.2 O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury,- like those who spend their substance to be seen of men, but believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. They are in parable like a hard, barren rock, on which is a little soil: on it falls heavy rain, 13 P a g e

which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject faith. (al-baqara, 2: 264) ا س اك ين و ابن السب يل و م ى و الم يسأل ونك ماذا ي ن ف ق ون ق ل ما أن فقت م م ن خ ير فل لو ال د ين القر ب ين الي و و تام تفعل وا م ن خ ير فإ ن ا لل ب ه عل يم. )سورة البقرة اآلية ٠٦٣ (.3 They ask thee what they should spend (In charity). Say: Whatever ye spend that is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in want and for wayfarers. And whatever ye do that is good, -Allah knoweth it well. (al-baqara, 2: 215) ؤ لفة ق ل وب ه م و ف ي الر قاب و الغار م ين و ف ي س ب يل ا لل ام ل ين عليها و الم إ نم ا الصد ل لف قر قات اء و ال م س اك ين و الع عل يم ح ك يم. )سورة التوبة ١٢ ( و ابن السب يل فر يض ة م ن ا لل.4 Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah, and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. (Al-Tawbah, 9: 60) س نص يبك م ن الد نيا و أحس ن كم ا أحس ن ا لل إ ليك و ال تبغ الفس اد ف ي و ر ابتغ ف يم ا آتاك ا لل الدار اآلخ ة و ال تن الرض إ ن ا لل ال ي ح الم فس د ين. )سورة القصص اآلية ٧٧ (.5 But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief. (Al-Qasas, 28: 77) ص د ون عن س ب يل ا لل يا أي ها الذ ين آمن وا إ ن كث يرا م ن الحبار الرهب ليأك ل ون أمو ال الن اس ب الباط ل و ي و ان ي حمى عليها ف ي نار أل يم يوم و الذ ين يكن ز ون الذه و الف ضة و ال ي ن ف ق ونها ف ي س ب يل ا لل فبش ره م ب عذاب ه م هذا ما كنزت م لن ف س ك م فذ وق وا ما ك ن ت م تكن ز ون. )سورة ج هن م فت كو ى ب ها ج باه ه م و ج ن وب ه م و ظ ه ور التوبة اآلية ٢٣-٢٢ (.6 14 P a g e

And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty- On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, their flanks, and their backs. This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye buried!

Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you, and do not even aim at getting anything which is bad, in order that out of it ye may give away something, when ye yourselves would not receive it except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Free of all wants, and worthy of all praise. The Evil one threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly. Allah promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties. And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. (al-baqara. 2: 267-268) 15 P a g e

One should start giving first to his dependents. And the best object of charity is that which is given by a wealthy person (from the money which is left after his expenses). And whoever abstains from asking others for some financial help, Allah will give him and save him from asking others, Allah will make him self-sufficient. (Bukhari, Zakat 18) صلى ا لل عليه سلم : ما م نها " قالت : ب ي 11. ة رض ي ا لل عنها أنه م ذبح وا ش اة فقال الن و بق ي عن عائ ش ما بق ي م نها إ ال كت ف ها. قال : " بق ي ك كت ف ها!" )رواه الترمذي( ل ها غير According to a narration from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the family of the Messenger of Allah had once slaughtered a sheep, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: What remains of it? Aisha said: Nothing remains of it except its shoulder, He said: Upon this the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: All of it remains except its shoulder. (Tirmidhi, Sifat al Qiyamah 35) 16 P a g e
