Back to Surah Al-Baqara
Ayah 265
Surah Al-Baqara
And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allah 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 Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.﴿265﴾
Translation
And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allah 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 Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
Simplified Tafsir
ومثل الذين ينفقون أموالهم طلبًا لرضا الله واعتقادًا راسخًا بصدق وعده، كمثل بستان عظيم بأرض عالية طيبة هطلت عليه أمطار غزيرة، فتضاعفت ثمراته، وإن لم تسقط عليه الأمطار الغزيرة فيكفيه رذاذ المطر ليعطي الثمرة المضاعفة، وكذلك نفقات المخلصين تُقبل عند الله وتُضاعف، قلَّت أم كثُرت، فالله المُطَّلِع على السرائر، البصير بالظواهر والبواطن، يثيب كلا بحسب إخلاصه.
