Quran

Sûrah: 4, Âyah: 36.
Serve Allah and associate none with Him. Show kindness to your parents and your kindred, to the orphans and to the needy, to your near and distant neighbors, to your fellow-travelers, to the wayfarers, and to the slaves whom you own. Allah does not love arrogant and boastful men.

Sûrah: 107, Âyah: 4-7.
So woe to the worshippers who are neglectful of their Prayers, those who make a show (of piety), but refuse (to supply) (even) neighborly needs.
