But he has not overcome the difficult obstacle (steep incline). He says, “I have spent wealth in abundance. (7)ĭoes he (i.e., Man) think that never will anyone overcome him. And not giving in return for favor but only seeking the countenance of His Lord, Most High ( Sura alLayl 92/17-20). He who gives his wealth (to the needy) to purify himself. (6)Īnd the righteous one will avoid it (hellfire). So for the orphan do not oppress him and for the petitioner do not repel him (Holy Qur’an 93/6-10). (5)ĭid he not find you (O Muhammad) an orphan and gave you refuge? And He found you poor and made (you) self-sufficient. (4)Īnd they were not commanded except to worship Allah (being) sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and give zakat (obligatory alms giving) and that is the correct religion (Holy Qur’an 98/5). Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it and, whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it (Holy Qur’an 99/7, 8). He will surely be thrown into the crusher (Hellfire which crushes their bones) (Holy Qur’an 104/1-4). He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal. Who collects wealth and (continuously) counts it.
Those who made show of their deeds and withheld their assistance to their neighbors (Holy Qur’an 107/1-7). So woe to those who pray, (but) who are heedless of their prayers. And does not encourage the feeding of the poor. Have you seen the one who denies the religion (hereafter)? That is the one who drives away harshly the orphan. We will quote here a few ayas of the Qur’an: (1)
#Principle of beneficence full#
The Qur’an and the Tradition are full of passages and sayings of the Prophet enjoining good and refraining from doing harm. Doing Harm and Reciprocating Harm is Not Allowed. They said: Who can do that? He said: Removing a thorny bush, or bones or dirt from the way (street) is a charity showing the right path for those lost is a charity, enjoining right and forbidding wrong is a charity helping those who are inefficient in their work is a charity.” One of the companions said, “What if I didn’t do any of these?” He said, “At least do no harm to others.” Narrated by AlBokhari, Muslim and Ibn Hibban. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ordered his companions to do charity daily.
Preventing harm and removing harm (or evil) are both considered a type of beneficence. As we have mentioned in the previous chapter on nonmaleficence both are interconnected. The principle of beneficence refers to a normative statement of moral obligation to act for the benefit of others, helping them to further important legitimate interests, often by preventing or removing possible harms. It includes all forms of action intended to benefit or promote the good of other persons. Beneficence connotes acts of mercy, kindness, and charity.
