A Goodly Loan
مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُقۡرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنࣰا فَيُضَٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجۡرࣱ كَرِيمࣱ ١١
Who is he that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan, that He may double it for him and his may be a rich reward.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Who will lend Allah a goodly loan, that He may multiply it for him?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, qard is a loan; here the goodly loan is spending for Allah’s pleasure and with a willing heart.
