Islam warns the one who withholds zakah of a severe punishment in this world and in the Herefater. His punishment in the Hereafter is depicted in the most eloquent terms in the verse in which Allah (SWT) says:” And those who hoard up gold and silver {Al-Kanz: the money, the zakah of which has not been paid} and spend them not in the way of Allah, announce unto them a painful torment. On the Day when that {hoarded gold and silver, the zakah of which has not been paid} will be heated in the fire of Hell and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, {and it will be said unto them}:’ This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves. Now teste of what you used to hoard.”’ (Qur’an 9: 34-35)

As a Muslim, you become humble when you abjure such negative qualities as pride, arrogance, and haughtiness; when you recognize your place in the universe and give up delusions of grandeur; and when you avoid giving any indication to people that you are superior to them. Since human beings are inherently boastful and think well of themselves, humbleness is an elusive quality for many of us; if we wish to adopt it, we must struggle and act contrary to our souls’ inherent inclinations; we must, if you will, swim against the current. Because humbleness is a quality that comes through effort and struggle, Allah (SWT) praised those of His slaves who are humble:” And the slaves of the Most Beneficent (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply with mild words of gentleness.” (Qur’an 25: 63)
