مَثَلُ

مَا

يُنفِقُونَ

فِي

هَذِهِ

الْحَيَاةِ

الدُّنْيَا

كَمَثَلِ

رِيحٍ

فِيهَا

صِرٌّ

أَصَابَتْ

حَرْثَ

قَوْمٍ

ظَلَمُوا

أَنفُسَهُمْ

فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ

وَمَا

ظَلَمَهُمُ

اللَّهُ

وَلَكِنْ

أَنفُسَهُمْ

يَظْلِمُونَ

What they spend in this life is like the freezing wind that may strike and destroy the farms of the people who have wronged themselves. God has not done injustice to them, but they have wronged themselves.

Muhammad Sarwar
