Surah Al-Baqara Verse 273 - English Translation by Dr Kamal Omar
Surah Al-Baqaraلِلۡفُقَرَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُحۡصِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ضَرۡبٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَحۡسَبُهُمُ ٱلۡجَاهِلُ أَغۡنِيَآءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ تَعۡرِفُهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمۡ لَا يَسۡـَٔلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ إِلۡحَافٗاۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ
(Spend) for those in need who got involved in the cause of Allah and have no capacity to move about on the land (earning money); the ignorant thinks them rich because of their attitude and behaviour, (but) you shall recognise them by their marks: they put no demand to the people with importunity (and show grace and integrity). And whatever you spend out of your wealth, then surely Allah is All-Aware of it
