30:40

وَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُم مِّن رِّبًا لِّيَرْبُوَا۟ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَلَا يَرْبُوا۟ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُم مِّن زَكَوٰةٍ تُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُضْعِفُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Whatever you pay as interest that it may increase the wealth of the people, it does not increase in the sight of Allah; but whatever you give in Zakat seeking the favour of Allah — it is these who will increase their wealth manifold.

English - Five Volume Translation

[a]Whatever you pay as interest that it may increase the wealth of the people, it does not increase in the sight of Allah; but whatever you give in Zakah seeking the favour of Allah—it is these who will increase their wealth manifold.[3018]

2:276; 3:131.

Commentary:

In this verse a contrast has been made between Zakah and interest which institution, according to some people, can help the poor improve their economic condition. By Zakah Islam seeks to improve the miserable lot of the poor, at the same time safeguarding their dignity and self-respect, while the institution of interest not only does not better the economic condition of the poor but on the contrary tends actually to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The vast disparity of wealth between different sections of human society, as a result of which a large majority grovels in grinding indigence and penury and a tiny section rolls in unmeasured wealth, is inevitably due to the institution of interest. It is on cooperative basis as taught by Islam and not by the giving and taking of interest that the wealth of a community can increase, and it is to this important economic truth that the verse under comment refers.

English - Short Commentary Translation

[b]Whatever you lay out at interest that it may increase the wealth of the people, it does not increase in the sight of Allah; but whatever you give in Zakat, seeking the pleasure of Allah—it is these who will increase their wealth manifold.[2289]

2:276, 277.

The verse institutes a contrast between Zakat and interest. Whereas by means of Zakat Islam seeks to improve the miserable lot of the poor, at the same time safeguarding their dignity and self-respect, the institution of interest not only does not better the economic condition of the poor, but actually tends to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The vast disparity of wealth between different sections of human society, as a result of which a large majority grovels in grinding indigence and penury and a tiny section rolls in unmeasured wealth, is inevitably due to the institution of interest. This verse particularly prohibits taking of interest on money loaned to banks or companies, etc.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور جو تم سُود کے طور پر دیتے ہو تا کہ لوگوں کے اموال میں مِل کر وہ بڑھنے لگے تو اللہ کے نزدیک وہ نہیں بڑھتا۔ اور اللہ کی رضا چاہتے ہوئے تم جو کچھ زکوٰۃ دیتے ہو تو یہی ہیں وہ لوگ جو (اسے) بڑھانے والے ہیں۔

French

Tout ce que vous prêterez à intérêt pour augmenter la richesse des hommes, n’augmentera pas aux yeux d’Allāh, mais tout ce que vous donnerez en Zakât recherchant le plaisir d’Allāh – ce sont ceux-là qui feront multiplier leur richesse.

German

Was immer ihr auf Zinsen verleiht, damit es sich vermehre mit dem Gut der Menschen, es vermehrt sich nicht vor Allah; doch was ihr an Zakât gebt, indem ihr nach Allahs Antlitz verlangt – sie sind es, die vielfache Mehrung empfangen werden.

Chinese

[b]凡你们放债为了增加人们的财富, 在安拉看来, 那钱款将不增加; 凡你们为获得安拉的喜悦以钱款为天课使用的, (要记住), 这些人将是增加[995](他们的财富) 的。

2:276, 277.

这节经文对比了天课 (زَكَاة, Zakat) 和利息的差异。伊斯兰教把天课使用于改善穷苦的人的悲惨命运, 同时保持他们的体面和自尊心, 而利息制不仅不能改善穷苦者的经济情况, 而且实际上会使富者越富而穷者越穷。社会不同阶层的贫富极大不均的结果是极大部分人因难以忍受贫穷的煎熬而卑躬屈膝, 而极少数人却腰缠万贯。这必然是利息制度造成的结果。这节经文特别禁止贷款给银行或公司等时收取利息。

Italian

Quello che pagate in interesse, perché accresca la ricchezza della gente, non cresce agli occhi di Allah. Ma qualunque cosa diate in Zakat, cercando il favore di Allah, sono coloro che accresceranno le loro ricchezze molteplici volte.

Spanish

Lo que pagáis como intereses para que aumente la riqueza de los hombres, no la aumenta a la vista de Al‑lah; sin embargo, todo lo que dais en Zakat buscando el favor de Al‑lah, sabed que éstos es a quienes se aumentará muchas veces su riqueza.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جو روپیہ تم سود[1] حاصل کرنے کے لئے دیتے ہو‘ تاکہ وہ لوگوں کے مالوں میں بڑھے تو وہ روپیہ اللہ کے حضور میں نہیں بڑھتا اور جو تم اللہ کی رضا [2]حاصل کرنے کے لئے زکٰوۃ کے طور پر دیتے ہو تو یاد رکھو کہ اسی قسم کے لوگ خدا کے ہاں (روپیہ) بڑھا رہے ہیں۔

قرآن کریم نے سود کی دو قسمیں بیان کی ہیں۔ ایک وہ سودی کاروبار جو غریبوں سے کیا جاتا ہے اس کو بھی منع کیا گیا ہے‘ لیکن اس آیت سے صاف پتہ لگتا ہے کہ اس جگہ اُس سودی کاروبار کا ذکر ہے جو مالداروں سے کیا جاتا ہے تاکہ وہ مالدار اسے تجارت میں لگائیں اور روپیہ دینے والے کا روپیہ بھی بڑھے۔ بعض مسلمان یہ خیال کرتے ہیں کہ مال داروں یا کمپنی والوں کو روپیہ سود پر دینا یا بنک میں سود پر روپیہ لگانا اسلام میں منع نہیں حالانکہ یہ آیت واضح کرتی ہے کہ اس قسم کا سودی کاروبار بھی منع ہے اگر ان کا خیال ٹھیک ہوتا تو یہ آیت کیوں نازل ہوتی اور اس کی کیا غرض تھی۔ قرآن کریم کا نازل کرنے والا

لُغت میں وَجْہٌ کے معنے مَرْضَاۃ کے بھی لکھے ہیں۔ (اقرب) یعنی رضا۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

جو سُود تم دیتے ہو تاکہ لوگوں کے اموال میں شامل ہو کر وہ بڑھ جائے، اللہ کے نزدیک وہ نہیں بڑھتا، اور جو زکوٰۃ تم اللہ کی خوشنودی حاصل کرنے کے ارادے سے دیتے ہو، اسی کے دینے والے در حقیقت اپنے مال بڑھاتے ہیں

English - Sahih

And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allah - those are the multipliers.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور جو سود پر تم دیتے ہو تاکہ لوگوں کے مال میں بڑھتا رہے سو الله کے ہاں وہ نہیں بڑھتا اور جو زکواة دیتے ہو جس سے الله کی رضا چاہتے ہو سو یہ وہ ہی لوگ ہیں جن کے دونے ہوئے

English - Talal Itani

And what you give for usury to increase in (the) wealth (of) people, not (will) increase with Allah. But what you give of zakah desiring (the) Countenance (of) Allah, then those [they] (will) get manifold.

Whatever you pay as interest so that it may increase the wealth of people does not increase in the sight of Allah. As for the Zakah that you give, seeking with it Allah's good pleasure, that is multiplied manifold.

What you give on interest to increase (your capital) through others' wealth, does not find increase with God; yet what you give (in alms and charity) with a pure heart, seeking the way of God, will be doubled.

English - Yusuf Ali

That which ye lay out for increase through the property of (other) people, will have no increase with Allah: but that which ye lay out for charity, seeking the Countenance of Allah, (will increase): it is these who will get a recompense multiplied.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And whatever you lay out at usury, so that it may increase in the property of men, it increases not with Allah; and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah’s pleasure -- these will get manifold.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Whatever you lay out at interest that it may foster the wealth of the people, it does not increase in the sight of Allah; but whatever you remit as Zakat, seeking the pleasure of Allah, that is multiplied manifold.
