Quran 3:92 — Aal-i-Imraan, verse 92
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
None of you [believers] will attain true piety unless you give out of what you cherish: whatever you give, God knows about it very well.
لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ
lan tanālū l-bira ḥattā tunfiqū mimmā tuḥibbūna wamā tunfiqū min shayin fa-inna l-laha bihi ʿalīmun
