Surah At-Tawba · Ayah 99·Madanī

99

وَمِنَ مَن مَا أَلَآ إِنَّهَا لَّهُمْ فِى إِنَّ ﴿٩٩﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

But among the bedouins are some who believe in Allah and the Last Day and consider what they spend as means of nearness to Allah and of [obtaining] invocations of the Messenger. Unquestionably, it is a means of nearness for them. Allah will admit them to His mercy. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
