"ADORNED IS THE PRESENT LIFE FOR THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE, AND THEY LAUGH AT THOSE WHO BELIEVE, WHILE THOSE WHO FEAR ALLAH SHALL BE ABOVE THEM ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION. AND ALLAH GIVES, TO WHOM HE WILLS, WITHOUT MEASURE." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:212)

In this verse the Holy Quran points out to the fact that the folly of considering any Muslim man or woman to be inferior because they are poor, and of ridiculing poor people, will be unmasked on the Day of Judgment.

It has been reported that Sayyidna Ali RAA said: "Any one who considers a Muslim man or woman inferior because of their poverty, Allah Ta'alah will put him to disgrace before a gathering of all the people from the beginning to the end of time on the Day of Judgment. And anyone who falsely accuses a Muslim man or a woman of a sin they did not commit, on the Day of Judgment Allah Ta'alah would put him on a high mound of fire until he admits his falsehood. (al-Qurtubi)
