English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And the case of those who spend their wealth to seek the pleasure of Allah and to strengthen their souls is like the case of a garden on elevated ground. Heavy rain falls on it so that it brings forth its fruit twofold. And if heavy rain does not fall on it, then light rain suffices. And Allah sees what you do.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ان لوگوں کی مثال جو اپنے اموال اللہ کی رضا چاہتے ہوئے اور اپنے نفوس میں سے بعض کوثبات دینے کے لئے خرچ کرتے ہیں، ایسے باغ کی سی ہے جو اونچی جگہ پر واقع ہو اور اُسے تیز بارش پہنچے تو وہ بڑھ چڑھ کر اپنا پھل لائے، اور اگر اسے تیز بارش نہ پہنچے تو شبنم ہی بہت ہو۔ اور اللہ اس پر جو تم کرتے ہو گہری نظر رکھنے والا ہے۔

French

Et le cas de ceux qui dépensent leurs biens pour chercher le plaisir d’Allāh et pour fortifier leur âme est pareil à celui d’un jardin situé sur un coteau. La pluie abondante tombe dessus, le faisant rapporter des fruits doublement. Et si une grosse pluie ne l’arrose pas, alors une pluie fine suffit. Et Allāh voit bien tout ce que vous faites.

German

Und jene, die ihr Gut hingeben im Trachten nach Allahs Wohlgefallen und zur Stärkung ihrer Seelen, sind gleich einem Garten auf erhöhtem Grund. Platzregen fällt darauf, und er bringt seine Frucht zwiefältig hervor. Fällt aber kein Platzregen auf ihn, so (genügt auch) leichter. Allah sieht euer Tun.

Chinese

那为了得到安拉的喜悦和增强自己 (的信心) 而牺牲自己财富的人[204], 他们的情况正如高原的田园。得了大雨, [b]它将生产加倍的成果, 如不得大雨, 则小雨 (也就满足它的需要了)。安拉看着你们所做的一切。

Italian

E l'esempio di quelli che dispensano le loro ricchezze per la causa di Allah e per fortificare l'animo loro è come un giardino su un'altura. Se la pioggia vi cade a scroscio, frutta il doppio. Ma se l'acquazzone non cade, basta anche una pioggerella. E Allah vede quello che fate.

Spanish

Y los que emplean sus riquezas para buscar el placer de Al-lah y fortalecer sus almas son semejantes a un jardín sobre un terreno elevado. Basta que la lluvia abundante caiga sobre él para que se upliquen sus frutos. Y si no cae sobre él un fuerte aguacero, le basta con una lluvia ligera. Y Al-lah ve lo que hacéis.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جو لوگ اپنے مال اللہ کی خوشنودی حاصل کرنے کے لئے اور اپنے آپ کو مضبوط کرنے کے لئے خرچ کرتے ہیں ان کے (خرچ) کی حالت اس باغ کی حالت کے مشابہ ہے جو اونچی[1] جگہ پر ہو (اور) اس پر تیز بارش ہوئی ہو جس (کی وجہ) سے وہ اپنا پھل دو چند لایا ہو۔ اور (اس کی یہ کیفیت ہوکہ) اگر اس پر زور کی بارش نہ پڑے تو تھوڑی[2] سی بارش ہی (اس کے لئے کافی ہو جائے) اور جو کچھ تم کرتے ہو اللہ اسے دیکھ رہا ہے۔

Important Words:

تثبیتا (strengthen) is derived from ثبت which means, he or it subsisted or lasted; he or it became fixed or stationary at a place; he was firm, stable, steadfast and unwavering. ثبت الامر means, the matter became proved and determined. اثبته means, he made a person or thing fixed and stationary, rendering him or it unable to move; he imprisoned him or inflicted on him a crippling injury. اثبت الحق means, he strengthened or reinforced the truth with clear arguments. ثبته (thabbatahu) means, he made a person or thing firm, steadfast, unwavering and fixed; he strengthened him or it so as to make him or it fit to endure all trials and shakings (Aqrab & Lane).

ربوة (elevated ground) is derived from ربا. They say ربا المال i.e. the money increased and became augmented. رباالولد means, the child grew up. رباالرابیة means, he climbed the height. ربوة or رابیة means, a hill or elevated ground (Aqrab). ربا (interest) is also from the same root and is so called because it is looked upon as a sure and unfailing means of increasing and multiplying wealth.

Commentary:

Spending money in the cause of Allah leads to the strengthening of the soul. The man who strives in the cause of God by spending his wealth, imposes a burden on himself which makes him still more firm and steadfast in his faith. Besides, as he helps others with his money, God helps him and protects him from harm.

The hearts of the believers who spend freely in the cause of God are like elevated ground to which heavy rain, which sometimes proves harmful for low-lying grounds, can do no harm. On the other hand, it is benefited by rain, whether it is heavy or light.

In the verse under comment, rain represents charity. Those who spend large amounts are referred to in the words "heavy rain", while those who can afford to spend only small amounts in the cause of Allah are referred to in the words "light rain" (see also 9:79).

Both classes of men are benefited, inasmuch as they are granted more and more power to do good deeds and receive an ample reward from God, Who does not look to the amount of the money spent in His cause but to the proportion it bears to the money retained by the spender for his worldly needs. The word طل (light rain), besides including the lightest of rains, also means "dew" (Lane) and has been used to point out that even the smallest amounts spent in the cause of Allah has its reward.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

بخلا ف اِس کے جو لو گ اپنے مال محض اللہ کی رضا جوئی کے لیے دل کے پورے ثبات و قرار کے ساتھ خرچ کرتے ہیں، ان کے خرچ کی مثال ایسی ہے، جیسے کسی سطح مرتفع پر ایک باغ ہو اگر زور کی بار ش ہو جائے تو دو گنا پھل لائے، اور اگر زور کی بارش نہ بھی ہو تو ایک ہلکی پھوار ہی اُس کے لیے کافی ہو جائے تم جو کچھ کرتے ہو، سب اللہ کی نظر میں ہے

English - Sahih

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.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور ان لوگوں کی مثال جو اپنے مال الله کی رضا حاصل کرنے کے لیے اور اپنے دلوں کو مضبوط کر کے خرچ کرتے ہیں ایسی ہے جس طرح بلند زمین پر ایک باغ ہو اس پر زور کا مینہ برسا تو وہ باغ اپنا پھل دوگنا لایا اور اگر اس پر مینہ نہ برسایا تو شبنم ہی کافی ہے اور الله تمہارے کاموں کو خوب دیکھنے والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

And (the) example (of) those who spend their wealth seeking (the) pleasure (of) Allah, and certainty from their (inner) souls, (is) like a garden on a height, fell on it heavy rain so it yielded its harvest double. Then if (does) not fall (on) it heavy rain, then a drizzle. And Allah of what you do (is) All-Seer.

English - Arberry

English - Maududi

In contrast to them, the charity of those, who expend their wealth sincerely with the sole desire of pleasing Allah, may be likened to a garden on a plateau.

English - Ahmed Ali

But the semblance of those who expend their wealth to please God with firm and resolute hearts, is like a garden on a height on which the rain falls and it yields its fruits twice as much; and even if the rain does not fall the dew will suffice. For God sees all that you do.

And the likeness of those who spend their substance, seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls, is as a garden, high and fertile: heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest, and if it receives not Heavy rain, light moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.
