Sura 57
Aya 7
7
آمِنوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَأَنفِقوا مِمّا جَعَلَكُم مُستَخلَفينَ فيهِ ۖ فَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مِنكُم وَأَنفَقوا لَهُم أَجرٌ كَبيرٌ

Muhammad Asad

BELIEVE in God and His Apostle, and spend on others out of that of which He has made you trustees:1 for, those of you who have attained to faith and who spend freely [in God's cause] shall have a greatreward.
  • Implying that all that man "possesses" is but held in trust from God, since "all that is in the heavens and on earth belongs to Him", whereas man is allowed only its usufruct.
