And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah: And Allah is full of kindness to (His) devotees.

And the likeness of those who spend their substance, seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls, is as a garden, high and fertile: heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest, and if it receives not Heavy rain, light moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.

It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.

He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.

In most of their secret talks there is no good: But if one exhorts to a deed of charity or justice or conciliation between men, (Secrecy is permissible): To him who does this, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall soon give a reward of the highest (value).

He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.

Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; Establish regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good: for such there is the final attainment of the (eternal) home,-

And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.

Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.

But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

有人为求真主的喜悦而自愿捐躯。真主是仁爱众仆的。

施舍财产，以求真主的喜悦并确定自身信仰的人，譬如高原上的园圃，它得大雨，便加倍结实。如果不得大雨，小雨也足以滋润。真主是明察你们的行为的。

引导他们，不是你的责任，但真主引导他所意欲的人。你们所施舍的任何美物，都是有利於你们自己的，你们只可为求真主的喜悦而施舍。你们所施舍的任何美物，你们都将享受完全的报酬，你们不受亏枉。

他降示你这部经典，其中有许多明确的节文，是全经的基本；还有别的许多隐微的节文。心存邪念的人，遵从隐微的节文，企图淆惑人心，探求经义的究竟。只有真主和学问文精通的人才知道经义的究竟。他们说：“我们已确信它，明确的和隐微的，都是从我们的主那里降示的。惟有理智的人，才会觉悟。

他们的秘密谈话，大半是无益的；劝人施舍，或劝人行善、或劝人和解者（秘密的谈话）除外。谁为真主的喜悦而作此事，我要赏赐谁重大的报酬。

真主从云中降下雨水，一切沟壑就尽量流行。山洪载著浮渣--他们为制造首饰和器皿而熔化的金属，也有同样的浮渣。真主如此阐明真伪--至于渣滓则被冲走，至于有益于人的东西则留存在地面上。真主如此阐明许多比喻。

他们是为求得主的喜悦而坚忍的，是谨守拜功的，是秘密地和公开地分舍我所赐给他们的财物的，是以德报怨的。这等人得吃后世的善果--

如果你必须求得你所希望的从主降示的恩惠后才能周济他们，那末，你应该对他们说温和的话。

在他们之后，我曾继续派遣我的众使者，我又继续派遣麦尔彦之子尔撒，我赏赐他《引支勒》，我使他的信徒们心怀仁爱和慈悯。他们自创出家制--我未曾以出家为他们的定制--他们创设此制，以求真主的喜悦；但他们未曾切实的遵守它，故我把报酬赏赐他们中的信道者。他们中有许多人是悖逆的。

但他施舍只是为了求他的至尊主的喜悦，
