Transliteration:( In tuqridul laaha qardan hasanany yudaaifhu lakum wa yaghfir lakum; wallaahu Shakoorun Haleem )
"If you lend Allah a good loan, He will double it for you, and forgive you, and Allah is Appreciating, Forbearing."
Spending in the way of Allah willingly and joyfully is termed a "good loan" (Qarz Hasanah). It signifies giving for the sake of Allah with the confidence that He will reward generously—even more than what was given.
Allah calls it a "loan" but promises to return much more in reward. Since everything belongs to Allah, this is not truly a loan, but rather a test of generosity and a promise of multiplied blessings.
Not only will Allah double the reward, but He also forgives the giver. This shows Allah’s immense grace—rewarding us for what He gave us in the first place.
Allah values the smallest good done for His sake. Even when we falter, He is Forbearing—He does not punish immediately but allows time for repentance and return.
