قول معروف ومغفرة خير من صدقة يتبعها أذى والله غني حليم
A word kind and (seeking) forgiveness (are) better than a charity followed [it] (by) hurt. And Allah (is) Free of Need, Most Forbearing.
Al-Ghaniyy (The Free of Need) affirms Allah’s complete self-sufficiency: He needs nothing from creation, while every atom of creation stands in constant need of Him. In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 18 times across 18 verses in 16 surahs, from Quran 2:263 (Surah Al-Baqarah) to Quran 64:6 (Surah At-Taghabun).
Reflection: Recognizing our poverty before Al-Ghaniyy liberates the soul from greed and teaches humble gratitude in both abundance and trial.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا أنفقوا من طيبات ما كسبتم ومما أخرجنا لكم من الأرض ولا تيمموا الخبيث منه تنفقون ولستم بآخذيه إلا أن تغمضوا فيه واعلموا أن الله غني حميد
O you who believe[d]! Spend from (the) good things that you have earned and whatever We brought forth for you from the earth. And (do) not aim (at) the bad of it, you spend, while you (would) not take it except [that] (with) close(d) eyes [in it], and know that Allah (is) Free of Need, Praiseworthy.
