becoming ungrateful for whatever ˹favours˺ We have given them. So enjoy yourselves, for soon you will know.

Or have We sent down to them an authority which attests to what they associate ˹with Him˺?

So give your close relatives their due, as well as the poor and the ˹needy˺ traveller. That is best for those who seek the pleasure of Allah,1 and it is they who will be successful.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

Whatever loans you give, ˹only˺ seeking interest at the expense of people’s wealth1 will not increase with Allah. But whatever charity you give, ˹only˺ seeking the pleasure of Allah—it is they whose reward will be multiplied.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٤٠
It is Allah Who created you, then gives you provisions, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. Can any of your associate-gods do any of this? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
