39 Preface وَماذا عَلَيهِم لَو آمَنوا بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَأَنفَقوا مِمّا رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ بِهِم عَليمًاYusuf AliAnd what burden Were it on them if they had faith in God and in the Last Day, and they spent out of what God hath given them for sustenance?1 For God hath full knowledge of them.Sustenance: physical, intellectual, spiritual-every thing pertaining to life and growth.
