(177
نیکی یہ نہیں ہے کہ اپنا رخ مشرق اور مغرب کی طرف کرلو بلکہ نیکی اس شخص کا حصّہ ہے جو اللہ اور آخرت ملائکہ اور کتاب پر ایمان لے آئے اورمحبتِ خدا میں قرابتداروں ، یتیموں ، مسکینوں ، غربت زدہ مسافروں ، سوال کرنے والوں اور غلاموں کی آزادی کے لئے مال دے اور نماز قائم کرے اور زکوٰۃ ادا کرے اور جو بھی عہد کرے اسے پورا کرے اور فقر و فاقہ میں اور پریشانیوں اور بیماریوں میں اور میدانِ جنگ کے حالات میں صبر کرنے والے ہوں تو یہی لوگ اپنے دعوائے ایمان و احسان میں سچے ہیں اور یہی صاحبان تقویٰ اور پرہیزگار ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.
[ PICKTHAL ] It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.
[ SHAKIR ] It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).
- Sura: 4 - an-Nisaa' (The Women) Ayat: 2
وَآتُوا الْيَتَامَىٰ أَمْوَالَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبِيثَ بِالطَّيِّبِ ۖ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَمْوَالِكُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حُوبًا كَبِيرًا (2
اور یتیموں کو ان کا مال دے دو اور ان کے مال کو اپنے مال سے نہ بدلو اور ان کے مال کو اپنے مال کے ساتھ ملا کر نہ کھا جاؤ کہ یہ گناہ کبیرہ ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] To orphans restore their property (When they reach their age), nor substitute (your) worthless things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by mixing it up) with your own. For this is indeed a great sin.
[ PICKTHAL ] Give unto orphans their wealth. Exchange not the good for the bad (in your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own wealth. Lo! that would be a great sin.
[ SHAKIR ] And give to the orphans their property, and do not substitute worthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devour their property (as an addition) to your own property; this is surely a great crime.

اور اگر تقسیم کے وقت دیگر قرابتدار, ایتام, مساکین بھی آجائیں تو انہیں بھی اس میں سے بطور رزق دے دو اور ان سے نرم اور مناسب گفتگو کرو
[YOUSAF ALI] But if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
[ PICKTHAL ] And when kinsfolk and orphans and the needy are present at the division (of the heritage), bestow on them therefrom and speak kindly unto them.
[ SHAKIR ] And when there are present at the division the relatives and the orphans and the needy, give them (something) out of it and speak to them kind words.

جو لوگ ظالمانہ انداز سے یتیموں کا مال کھا جاتے ہیں وہ درحقیقت اپنے پیٹ میں آگ بھر رہے ہیں اور عنقریب واصلِ جہّنم ہوں گے
[YOUSAF ALI] Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!
[ PICKTHAL ] Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame.
[ SHAKIR ] (As for) those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly, surely they only swallow fire into their bellies and they shall enter burning fire.
