Back to Surah Al-Baqara
Ayah 264

Surah Al-Baqara

O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.﴿264

Translation

O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

Simplified Tafsir

يا من آمنتم بالله واليوم الآخر لا تُذْهِبُوا ثواب ما تتصدقون به بالمنِّ والأذى، فهذا شبيه بالذي يخرج ماله ليراه الناس، فيُثنوا عليه، وهو لا يؤمن بالله ولا يوقن باليوم الآخر، فمثل ذلك مثل حجر أملس عليه تراب هطل عليه مطر غزير فأزاح عنه التراب، فتركه أملس لا شيء عليه، فكذلك هؤلاء المراؤون تضمحلُّ أعمالهم عند الله، ولا يجدون شيئًا من الثواب على ما أنفقوه. والله لا يوفق الكافرين لإصابة الحق في نفقاتهم وغيرها.
