Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo anfiqoo min tayyibati ma kasabtum wamimma akhrajna lakum mina al-ardi wala tayammamoo alkhabeetha minhu tunfiqoona walastum bi-akhitheehi illa an tughmidoo feehi waiAAlamoo anna Allaha ghaniyyun hameedun\n267. O ye who believe!\n Give of the good things\n Which ye have (honourably) earned,\n And of the fruits of the earth\n Which We have produced\nFor you, and do not even aim\n At getting anything\n Which is bad, in order that\n Out of it ye may give away\n Something, when ye yourselves\n Would not receive it\n Except with closed eyes.\n And know that God\n Is Free of all wants,\n And Worthy of all praise.\n268. Alshshaytanu yaAAidukumu alfaqra waya/murukum bialfahsha-i waAllahu yaAAidukum maghfiratan minhu wafadlan waAllahu wasiAAun AAaleemun\n268. The Evil One threatens\n You with poverty\n And bids you to conduct\n Unseemly. God promiseth\n You His forgiveness\n And bounties.\n And God careth for all\n And He knoweth all things.\n269. Yu/tee alhikmata man yashao waman yu/ta alhikmata faqad ootiya khayran katheeran wama yaththakkaru illa oloo al-albabi\n269. He granteth wisdom\n To whom He pleaseth;\n And he to whom wisdom\n Is granted receiveth\n Indeed a benefit overflowing;\n But none will grasp the Message\n But men of understanding.\n270. Wama anfaqtum min nafaqatin aw nathartum min nathrin fa-inna Allaha yaAAlamuhu wama lilththalimeena min ansarin\n270. And whatever ye spend\n In charity or devotion,\n Be sure God knows it all.\n But the wrong-doers\n Have no helpers.\n271. In tubdoo alssadaqati faniAAimma hiya wa-in tukhfooha watu/tooha alfuqaraa fahuwa khayrun lakum wayukaffiru AAankum min sayyi-atikum waAllahu bima taAAmaloona khabeerun\n271. If ye disclose (acts\n Of) charity, even so\n It is well,\n But if ye conceal them,\n And make them reach\n Those (really) in need,\n That is best for you:\n It will remove from you\n Some of your (stains\n Of) evil. And God\n Is well acquainted\n With what ye do.\n272. Laysa AAalayka hudahum walakinna Allaha yahdee man yashao wama tunfiqoo min khayrin fali-anfusikum wama tunfiqoona illa ibtighaa wajhi Allahi wama tunfiqoo min khayrin yuwaffa ilaykum waantum la tuthlamoona\n272. It is not required\n Of thee (O Apostle),\n To set them on the right path,\n But God sets on the right path\n Whom He pleaseth.\n Whatever of good ye give\n Benefits your own souls,\n And ye shall only do so\n Seeking the \"Face\"\n Of God. Whatever good\n Ye give, shall be\n Rendered back to you,\n And ye shall not\n Be dealt with unjustly.\n273. Lilfuqara-i allatheena ohsiroo fee sabeeli Allahi la yastateeAAoona darban fee al-ardi yahsabuhumu aljahilu aghniyaa mina alttaAAaffufi taAArifuhum biseemahum la yas-aloona alnnasa ilhafan wama tunfiqoo min khayrin fa-inna Allaha bihi AAaleemun\n273. (Charity is) for those\n In need, who, in God's cause\n Are restricted (from travel),\n And cannot move about\nIn the land, seeking\n (For trade or work):\n The ignorant man thinks,\n Because of their modesty,\n That they are free from want.\n Thou shalt\u1e33now them\n By their (unfailing) mark:\n They beg not importunately\n From all and sundry.\n And whatever of good\n Ye give, be assured\n God knoweth it well.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section...","type":"page"}
