لَّيْسَ
عَلَيْكَ
هُدَاهُمْ
وَلَكِنَّ
اللَّهَ
يَهْدِي
مَن
يَشَاءُ
وَمَا
تُنفِقُوا
مِنْ
خَيْرٍ
فَلِأَنفُسِكُمْ
وَمَا
تُنفِقُونَ
إِلَّا
ابْتِغَاءَ
وَجْهِ
اللَّهِ
وَمَا
تُنفِقُوا
مِنْ
خَيْرٍ
يُوَفَّ
إِلَيْكُمْ
وَأَنتُمْ
لَا
تُظْلَمُونَ
laysa ʿalayka hudāhum wa-lākinna llāha yahdī man yashāʾu wa-mā tunfiqū min khayrin fa-li-ʾanfusikum wa-mā tunfiqūna ʾillā btighāʾa wajhi llāhi wa-mā tunfiqū min khayrin yuwaffa ʾilaykum wa-ʾantum lā tuẓlamūna
It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.
— Abdullah Yusufali
It is not up to you to guide them; rather, it is Allah who guides whomever He wishes. Whatever wealth you spend, it is for your own benefit, as you do not spend but to seek Allah’s pleasure, and whatever wealth you spend will be repaid to you in full and you will not be wronged.
