What is the matter with you that you do not spend in God’s cause, when God’s is the inheritance of the heavens and the earth?1 Not equal among you are those who spend before the victory comes and fight (for God’s sake, and those who do not): they are greater in rank than those who spend after the victory comes and fight later. However, to all, God has promised what is the best (Paradise). God is fully aware of all that you do.2
