40 CONTRIBUTION
"As to the idea of `giving what one can afford', this does by no means put a limit or even exclude the possibility of self- sacrifice. There can be no limit to one's contributions to the national fund. The more one can give the better it is, especially when such offerings necessitate the sacrifice of other wants and desires on the part of the donor. The harder the sacrifice the more meritorious will it be of course in the eye of God. For after all it is not so much the quantity of one's offerings that matters, but rather the measure of deprivation that such offerings entail." (14:3)
