There is no blame on you if ye make an offer of betrothal or hold it in your hearts. Allah knows that ye cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract with them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie of marriage till the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah Knoweth what is in your hearts, and take heed of Him; and know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

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,-

Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.

Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not.

Those who rehearse the Book of Allah, establish regular Prayer, and spend (in Charity) out of what We have provided for them, secretly and openly, hope for a commerce that will never fail:

你们用含蓄的言词，向待婚的妇女求婚，或将你们的意思隐藏在心里，对於你们都是毫无罪过的。真主已知道你们不久要向她们提及婚约，（故准你们对她们有所表示），但不要与她们订密约，只可说合理的话；不要缔结婚约，直到守制满期。你们当晓得真主知道你们的心事，故你们当防备他；并当知道真主是至赦的，是至容的。

不分昼夜，不拘隐显地施舍财物的人们，将在他们的主那里享受报酬，他们将来没有恐惧，也不忧愁。

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--

你要对我的那些信道的仆人，说：让他们谨守拜功，并且在那既无买卖又无友谊之日来临以前，秘密地和公开地分舍我所赐予他们的财物。

真主打一个比喻：一个奴隶，不能自由处理任何事务，一个自由人，我赏赐他忧厚的给养，而他秘密地和公开地加以施舍；他们俩人是一样的吗？一切赞颂，全归真主！但他们大半不知道。

诵读真主的经典，且谨守拜功，并秘密地或公开地分舍我所赐予他们的财物者，他们希望这经营不破产，
