The likeness of those who
spend their wealth in the Way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn);
it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold
increase to whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs,
All-Knower.
- Surah
Al-Baqara (2:261) in the Holy Qur'an
