وَمَثَلُ And (the) example wamathalu (of) those who alladhīna spend yunfiqūna their wealth amwālahumu seeking ib'tighāa (the) pleasure marḍāti (of) Allah l-lahi and certainty watathbītan from min their (inner) souls anfusihim (is) like kamathali a garden jannatin on a height birabwatin fell on it aṣābahā heavy rain wābilun so it yielded faātat its harvest ukulahā double ḍiʿ'fayni Then if fa-in (does) not lam fall (on) it yuṣib'hā heavy rain wābilun then a drizzle faṭallun And Allah wal-lahu of what bimā you do taʿmalūna (is) All-Seer baṣīrun
And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allāh and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.
أَيَوَدُّ Would like ayawaddu any of you aḥadukum that an it be takūna for him lahu a garden jannatun of min date-palms nakhīlin and grapevines wa-aʿnābin flowing tajrī [from] min underneath it taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru for him lahu in it fīhā of min all (kinds) kulli (of) [the] fruits l-thamarāti and strikes him wa-aṣābahu [the] old age l-kibaru and [for] his walahu children dhurriyyatun (are) weak ḍuʿafāu then falls on it fa-aṣābahā whirlwind iʿ'ṣārun in it fīhi (is) fire nārun then it is burnt fa-iḥ'taraqat Thus kadhālika makes clear yubayyinu Allah l-lahu for you lakumu (His) Signs l-āyāti so that you may laʿallakum ponder tatafakkarūna
Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak [i.e., immature] offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allāh make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū Spend anfiqū from min (the) good things ṭayyibāti that mā you have earned kasabtum and whatever wamimmā We brought forth akhrajnā for you lakum from mina the earth l-arḍi And (do) not walā aim (at) tayammamū the bad l-khabītha of it min'hu you spend tunfiqūna while you (would) not walastum take it biākhidhīhi except illā [that] an (with) close(d) eyes tugh'miḍū [in it] fīhi and know wa-iʿ'lamū that anna Allah l-laha (is) Self-Sufficient ghaniyyun Praiseworthy ḥamīdun
O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.
ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ The Shaitaan al-shayṭānu promises you yaʿidukumu [the] poverty l-faqra and orders you wayamurukum to immorality bil-faḥshāi while Allah wal-lahu promises you yaʿidukum forgiveness maghfiratan from Him min'hu and bounty wafaḍlan And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Encompassing wāsiʿun All-Knowing ʿalīmun
Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allāh promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
يُؤْتِى He grants yu'tī [the] wisdom l-ḥik'mata (to) whom man He wills yashāu and whoever waman is granted yu'ta [the] wisdom l-ḥik'mata then certainly faqad he is granted ūtiya good khayran abundant kathīran And none wamā remembers yadhakkaru except illā those ulū (of) understanding l-albābi
He gives wisdom1 to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.
