Dynamic translation

(2:265) The parable of those who spend their possessions in seeking to satisfy Allah strengthening the psyche is the parable of the sprouting garden. If a downpour comes, its fruitfulness will increase. If it doesn't rain, (it suffices) with a drizzle. Allah sees what you are emulating.

(2:265) وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمُ ابْتِغَاء مَرْضَاتِ اللّهِ وَتَثْبِيتًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍ بِرَبْوَةٍ أَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ فَآتَتْ أُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ فَإِن لَّمْ يُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌ فَطَلٌّ وَاللّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
