مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يُقْرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَـٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
man zal lazee yuqridul laaha qardan hasanan fa yudaa'ifahoo lahoo wa lahooo ajrun kareem
Allah'a kim güzel bir ödünç takdiminde bulunursa, Allah karşılığını kat kat verir, ona cömertçe verilecek bir ecir de vardır.
Who will lend to God a beautiful loan, that he may multiply it for them, and they shall have a generous reward?
Qard comes from a root meaning to cut off, so a loan in Arabic is a piece cut from what you hold and handed over. The owner of everything is the one asking to borrow, and the question form leaves room where a command could have stood. The surah has just ranked those who gave before the victory above those who gave once it was safe.
