Sura Al-Baqarah from 265 to 269


265. And the likeness of those who spend their wealth seeking Allâh’s Pleasure while they in their ownselves are sure and certain that Allâh will reward them ( for their spending in His Cause ) , is the likeness of a garden on a height; heavy rain falls on it and it doubles its yield of harvest. And if it does not receive heavy rain, light rain suffices it. And Allâh is All- Seer ( knows well ) of what you do.
266. Would any of you wish to have a garden with date- palms and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for him therein, while he is striken with old age, and his children are weak ( not able to look after themselves ) , then it is struck with a fiery whirlwind, so that it is burnt? Thus does Allâh make clear His Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses ) to you that you may give thought. [ 1 ]
267. O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have ( legally ) earned, and of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, ( though ) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. And know that Allâh is Rich ( Free of all needs ) , and Worthy of all praise.
268. Shaitân ( Satan ) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahshâ ( evil deeds, illegal sexual intercourse, sins ) ; whereas Allâh promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty, and Allâh is All- Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All- Knower.
269. He grants Hikmah [ 2 ] to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember ( will receive admonition ) except men of understanding.

[1] (V.2:266) ‘Umar (raa) said, "This is an example for a rich man who does good deeds out of obedience to Allâh, and then Allâh sends him Satan whereupon he commits sins till all his good deeds are lost." (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol. 6, Hadîth No.62).

[2] (V.2:269) Hikmah literally means wisdom, but it means here the knowledge, and the understanding of the Qur’ân, and the Sunnah and one’s ability to speak and act in the correct and right way.
