وَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُم مِّن رِّبٗا لِّيَرۡبُوَاْ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَلَا يَرۡبُواْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُم مِّن زَكَوٰةٖ تُرِيدُونَ وَجۡهَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُضۡعِفُونَ
Rowwad Translation Center
Whatever you lend in usury in order to gain more at the expense of people’s wealth[1], it will not increase [in reward] with Allah. But whatever you give as charity[2], seeking Allah’s pleasure – it is they who will have multiple rewards[3].
Notes
[1] i.e., to be repaid with interest; or a gift given with the intention of obtaining a greater benefit or a larger gift.
[2] i.e., voluntary or obligatory charity.
[3] Of its blessings in this life and its rewards in the Hereafter.
