An-Nisa 4:38 والذين ينفقون اموالهم رياء الناس ولا يومنون بالله ولا باليوم الاخر ومن يكن الشيطان له قرينا فساء قرينا ٣٨

Chapter 4, Page 85, Juz 5

36. Worship Allah ˹alone˺ and associate none with Him. And be kind to parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, near and distant neighbours, close friends, ˹needy˺ travellers, and those ˹bondspeople˺ in your possession. Surely Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful— 37. those who are stingy, promote stinginess among people, and withhold Allah’s bounties. We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment. 38. Likewise for those who spend their wealth to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. And whoever takes Satan as an associate—what an evil associate they have!
