Sadqah Even In Hard Times
وَ اِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡہُمُ ابۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَۃٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّکَ تَرۡجُوۡہَا فَقُلۡ لَّہُمۡ قَوۡلًا مَّیۡسُوۡرًا ﴿۲۸﴾ وَ لَا تَجۡعَلۡ یَدَکَ مَغۡلُوۡلَۃً اِلٰی عُنُقِکَ وَ لَا تَبۡسُطۡہَا کُلَّ الۡبَسۡطِ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَلُوۡمًا مَّحۡسُوۡرًا ﴿۲۹﴾ اِنَّ رَبَّکَ یَبۡسُطُ الرِّزۡقَ لِمَنۡ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَقۡدِرُ ؕ اِنَّہٗ کَانَ بِعِبَادِہٖ خَبِیۡرًۢا بَصِیۡرًا And if you have to disregard [those in need] because you are still seeking your Lord’s bounty which you are hopeful of, then speak to them softly. Neither tie your hand with the neck nor leave it totally loose that you earn reproach and be reduced to indigence. Indeed, it is your Lord Who gives abundantly to whomsoever He pleases and sparingly to whomsoever He pleases. He surely is aware of His servants; He is observing them.
