Surah 2. Al-Baqara, Ayah 274
| الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'alladhena yunfiqon amwaal -hum bi- al- layl wa- an- nahaar sirr(an) wa- calaaniyah fa- la- -hum 'ajr -hum cinda rabb -hum wa- laa khawf calay -him wa- laa hum yah.zanon |
| Pickthall | : | Those who spend their wealth by night and day, by stealth and openly, verily their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. |
| Asad | : | Those who spend their possessions [for the sake of God] by night and by day, secretly and openly, shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve. |
| Malik | : | Those who spend their wealth in charity by night and day, secretly and openly, they will have their reward from their Rabb. They shall have nothing to fear or to regret. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day in secret and in public have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve. 323 |
Note - 323We recapitulate the beauty of charity (i.e. unselfish
giving of one's self or one's goods) before we come to
its opposite, i.e. the selfish grasping greed of usury
against those in need or distress. Charity instead of
impoverishing you will enrich you; you will have more
happiness and less fear. Contrast it with what follows,
- the degredation of the grasping usurer.
