Surah baqarah Ayat 195 meaning in urdu

اللہ کی راہ میں خرچ کرو اور اپنے ہاتھوں اپنے آپ کو ہلاکت میں نہ ڈالو احسان کا طریقہ اختیار کرو کہ اللہ محسنو ں کو پسند کرتا ہے

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(2:195) Spend your wealth in the Way of Allah and do not cast yourselves into ruin with your own hands. *207 Do all things gracefully, for Allah loves those who do all things with excellence *208

And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] meaning

*207). 'To spend in the way of Allah' signifies financial sacrifice in order to establish God's religion. Not to make any financial sacrifice but to be inclined, instead, to hold personal interests dear to one's heart will lead to one's ruin both in this world and in the Next. Allah will set the unbelievers to dominate over you in this world and condemn you in the Next world.
*208). The root of the word ihsan is HSN, which means doing something in a goodly manner.
One standard of conduct is merely to perform the task entrusted to one. The other and higher standard is to perform that task in a wholesome manner, to devote all one's capacities and resources to its fulfilment, to do one's duty with all one's heart. The first standard is that of ordinary obedlence for which it is enough that a man should fear God. The other and higher standard is that of ihsan (moral and spiritual excellence) for which it is necessary that one should have a strong love for God and a profound attachment to Him.
