Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah." (11:6)
"(Charity is) for Fuqara (the poor), who in Allahs Cause are restricted (from travel), and cannot move about in the land (for trade or work). The one who knows them not, thinks that they are rich because of their modesty. You may know them by their mark, they do not beg of people at all." (2:273)
"And those, who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way) between those (extremes)." (25:67)
"And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone). I seek not any provision from them (i.e., provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e., feed themselves or My creatures)." (51:56,57)
