10. The Beggars


RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said in a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud and An-Nasaa`i, “Whoever begs and has enough, that begging will come as scars on their faces on the day of judgment.”

Because Islam wants people to have dignity, Islam allows people who have gone through catastrophes and are in great need to ask for help. Islam gives them the right to ask, and gives us the obligation to help. But if you already have enough and you ask, that is just greed.
