Islamic teachings highlight the rights of the poor in the wealth of the rich. The Quran emphasizes social and economic equality, warning against selfishness and greed. This principle is exemplified in the story of the Garden Owners from Yemen, as recounted in Surah Al-Qalam.

The original owner of a prosperous garden was known for his generosity towards the poor. After his death, his sons inherited the garden but chose to withhold its fruits from the needy. Their greed led to divine retribution, destroying the garden. Realizing their mistake, they repented and vowed to share their wealth, leading to the garden's restoration.

This story underscores the importance of sharing wealth with the poor and the consequences of greed. It also highlights Allah's mercy and forgiveness for those who repent sincerely.
