Traduzione dei significati Versetto 17 Sura At-Taghâbun - Traduzione inglese - Abdullah Hasan Yaqub - L'Enciclopedia del Nobile Corano

Versetto: 17

إِن تُقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗا يُضَٰعِفۡهُ لَكُمۡ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ شَكُورٌ حَلِيمٌ

17. If you lend to Allāh a goodly loan5, He will double it for you and forgive your sins. For Allāh is Most Appreciative, Forbearing.

5. Whoever giving to the poor lends to Allāh and He will repay it double. This also applies when we look at another person's life: the inner person. Are they poor in spirit? Lacking in hope? How can we help them have more hope? Are they lacking in faith? How can we add to their measure of faith? How can we add a measure to their joy? How can we add a measure to their peace? Love? Kindness?
It is easier to give money or goods, it's easier to do, because we can just give that physical thing and separate ourselves from it. Looking beyond that to a person's social-emotional well-being requires more of our time and to walk alongside someone. It requires our pouring out emotionally as well, to meet that person's intangible needs.
