He does not feel selfish greed in sharing the things he owns
with others or giving his possessions away. For example, he is not
troubled in giving away a favourite possession as a gift or in letting
someone else use it. Allah recommends this kind of behaviour to be-
lievers in the Qur'an:
You will not attain true goodness until you give of what you
love. Whatever you give away, Allah knows it. (Surah Al
'Imran: 92)
A believer knows that all the blessings of this earthly life have
been given to him only for a while for his use and as a test; he knows
that negative traits like selfish greed and envy are wrong.
