Surah 17. Al-Israa, Ayah 30
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا |
| Transliteration | : | 'inna rabb -ka yabsut. ar- rizq li- man yashaa' wa- yaqdir 'inna -hu kaana bi- cibaad -hi khaber(an) bas.er(an) |
| Pickthall | : | Lo! thy Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo, He was ever Knower, Seer of His slaves. |
| Asad | : | Behold, thy Sustainer grants abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whomever He wills: verily, fully aware is He of [the needs of] His creatures, and sees them all. |
| Malik | : | Surely your Rabb gives abundantly to whom He pleases and sparingly to whom He wills, for He is aware of the condition of His servants and observes them closely. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Verily thy Lord doth provide sustenance in abundance for whom He pleaseth and He provideth in a just measure: for He doth know and regard all His servants. 2213 |
Note - 2213If a foolish spendthrift pretends that his generosity,
even if it ruins himself, is good for other people, he is
reminded that Allah will take care of all. He knows every
one's true needs and cares for them. He gives in
abundance to some, but in all cases He gives in just
measure. Who are we to pretend to greater generosity?
