It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of Allah˺.

Translation:

O believers! Do not waste your charity with reminders ˹of your generosity˺ or hurtful words, like those who donate their wealth just to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. Their example is that of a hard barren rock covered with a thin layer of soil hit by a strong rain—leaving it just a bare stone. Such people are unable to preserve the reward of their charity. Allah does not guide ˹such˺ disbelieving people.

Tafseer / Explanation:

This verse warns against nullifying charity by reminding others of it or hurting their feelings.
Charity given for show (riya) and not for Allah’s sake holds no reward.
Such acts are compared to a bare rock with dust, washed clean by rain—leaving nothing behind.
It teaches that intention and humility are essential for charity to be accepted.
The verse stresses that sincere giving, free of pride, earns Allah’s favor and reward.
