لِلْفُقَرَآءِ
For the poor,
ٱلَّذِينَ
the ones who
أُحْصِرُوا۟
are confined
فِى
in
سَبِيلِ
way of
ٱللَّهِ
the One
لَا
not
يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
having capacity to
ضَرْبًۭا
move about
فِى
in
ٱلْأَرْضِ
the land,
يَحْسَبُهُمُ
reckon about them
ٱلْجَاهِلُ
the ignorants
أَغْنِيَآءَ
that they're self sufficient
مِنَ
from
ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ
the restraint,
تَعْرِفُهُم
you know of them
بِسِيمَٰهُمْ
by their occupations,
لَا
not
يَسْـَٔلُونَ
they ask
ٱلنَّاسَ
the people
إِلْحَافًۭا
by begging persistently;
ۗ
وَمَا
and what
تُنفِقُوا۟
you channelize
مِنْ
of
خَيْرٍۢ
good,
فَإِنَّ
then it is that
ٱللَّهَ
the One
بِهِۦ
about it is
عَلِيمٌ

لِلْفُقَرَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُحْصِرُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ضَرْبًۭا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَحْسَبُهُمُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ أَغْنِيَآءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ تَعْرِفُهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمْ لَا يَسْـَٔلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ إِلْحَافًۭا ۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ
For the poor, the ones who are confined in way of the One not having capacity to move about in the land, reckon about them the ignorants that they're self sufficient from the restraint, you know of them by their occupations, not they ask the people by begging persistently; and what you channelize of good, then it is that the One about it is knowledged.

⦿
(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
[The charities are] for the poor who are straitened in the way of Allah, not capable of moving about in the land [for trade]. The unaware suppose them to be well-off because of their reserve. You recognize them by their mark; they do not ask the people importunately. And whatever wealth you may spend, Allah indeed knows it.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
(If the recipients of charity are) the poor whose poverty, because of their striving for the cause of God, has become an obstacle for them, and who do not have the ability to travel in the land, they seem rich compared to the ignorant, because of their modest behavior. You would know them by their faces. They would never earnestly ask people for help. God knows well whatever wealth you spend for the cause of God.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
(Alms are) for the poor who are confined in the way of Allah-- they cannot go about in the land; the ignorant man thinks them to be rich on account of (their) abstaining (from begging); you can recognise them by their mark; they do not beg from men importunately; and whatever good thing you spend, surely Allah knows it.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
The needy, who are too engrossed in God's cause to be able to travel about the land in search of a livelihood, are considered by those who are unaware of their condition to be free from want, because they refrain from begging. But they can be known from their appearance. They do not make insistent demands upon people. Whatever wealth you spend, God knows it.
- Wahiduddin Khan

یہ صدقہ ان فقرائ کے لئے ہے جو راسِ خدا میں گرفتار ہوگئے ہیں اور کسی طرف جانے کے قابل بھی نہیں ہیں ناواقف افراد انہیں ان کی حیا و عفت کی بنا پر مالدار سمجھتے ہیں حالانکہ تم آثار سے ان کی غربت کا اندازہ کرسکتے ہو اگرچہ یہ لوگوں سے چمٹ کر سوال نہیں کرتے ہیںاور تم لوگ جو کچھ بھی انفاق کرو گے خدا اسے خوب جانتا ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
خاص طور پر مدد کے مستحق وہ تنگ دست لوگ ہیں جو اللہ کے کام میں ایسے گھر گئے ہیں کہ اپنی ذاتی کسب معاش کے لیے زمین میں کوئی دوڑ دھوپ نہیں کرسکتے ان کی خود داری دیکھ کر ناواقف آدمی گمان کرتا ہے کہ یہ خوش حال ہیں تم ان کے چہروں سے ان کی اندرونی حالت پہچان سکتے ہو مگر وہ ایسے لوگ نہیں ہیں کہ لوگوں کے پیچھے پڑ کر کچھ مانگیں اُن کی اعانت میں جو کچھ مال تم خرچ کرو گے وہ اللہ سے پوشیدہ نہ رہے گا
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
ان فقیروں کے لئے جو راہ خدا میں روکے گئے زمین میں چل نہیں سکتے نادان انہیں تونگر سمجھے بچنے کے سبب تو انہیں ان کی صورت سے پہچان لے گا لوگوں سے سوال نہیں کرتے کہ گڑ گڑانا پڑے اور تم جو خیرات کرو اللہ اسے جانتا ہے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
(یہ خیرات) خاص طور پر ان حاجتمندوں کے لئے ہے جو اللہ کی راہ میں اس طرح گھر گئے ہیں کہ روئے زمین پر سفر نہیں کر سکتے، ناواقف انہیں خود داری برتنے اور رکھ رکھاؤ کی وجہ سے مالدار سمجھتا ہے۔ مگر تم انہیں ان کے چہروں سے پہچان سکتے ہو۔ وہ لوگوں سے لپٹ کر اور ان کے پیچھے پڑ کر سوال نہیں کرتے۔ اور تم جو کچھ مال و دولت (راہِ خدا میں) خرچ کروگے بے شک اللہ اسے جانتا ہے۔

This website is a work of passion. It exists only for a couple of reasons:

1) I wanted to understand the Book without involving any second-party sources of guidance i.e. exegesis, or Asbab-e-Nuzul, or extra-Quranic ahadith, etc.
2) You must also know what the bare truth is, so we can work together.

Because the process must be transparent, the entire website is available for you to download. You can go through the code, and if you can make any improvements to this process, you are most welcome to. It is a humble request to update me regarding the improvements so I can also update myself.




Due Credits:

This website was possible by help of many people and forums who helped me to learn Arabic, Philosophy, Law, Psychology, and PHP and other Web scripts. To be honest, I do not even know the names of many but I did learn from them. Some of these people were already dead by the time I read their input.

The entire code of this website is available for the same reason, that what they taught me, I can only pay it forward.


The Arabic text of the Quran was obtained from Tanzil. The additional translations were also obtained from Tanzil from this link.

The social-sharing images of verses were obtained from Legacy Quran.com, and were then resized for proper social-media display.
