Muslims believe that they are all equal in the eyes of Allah and so they should help their poor brother and sisters and they should also give them what they need to stay happy and healthy. Muslims know that it is their duty not only as Muslims but also as human beings to help those who need their help. Their wealth and good health has been given to them by Allah to see how they use it. Allah is forever testing them whether they are rich or poor.

Wealth is something given by Allah and it is there to be shared with other Muslims. When you are rich Allah tests you to see how you use your wealth.
