يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
لَا
تُبْطِلُوا۟
صَدَقَـٰتِكُم
بِٱلْمَنِّ
وَٱلْأَذَىٰ
كَٱلَّذِى
يُنفِقُ
مَالَهُۥ
رِئَآءَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
وَلَا
يُؤْمِنُ
بِٱللَّهِ
وَٱلْيَوْمِ
ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۖ
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
كَمَثَلِ
صَفْوَانٍ
عَلَيْهِ
تُرَابٌۭ
فَأَصَابَهُۥ
وَابِلٌۭ
فَتَرَكَهُۥ
صَلْدًۭا ۖ
لَّا
يَقْدِرُونَ
عَلَىٰ
شَىْءٍۢ
مِّمَّا
كَسَبُوا۟ ۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
لَا
يَهْدِى
ٱلْقَوْمَ
ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

You who believe, do not cancel out your charitable deeds with reminders and hurtful words, like someone who spends his wealth only to be seen by people, not believing in God and the Last Day. Such a person is like a rock with earth on it: heavy rain falls and leaves it completely bare. Such people get no rewards for their works: God does not guide the disbelievers.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
