الآية رقم (18) - الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّى

(18) - ([He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself (18))

He is generous in giving his money without calculating, he gives charity to the poor, the needy and the destitute. Some interpreters said: The context of this verse is meant for Saydna Abo Bakr As-Ssiddiq (May Allah be pleased with him), who was the most devoted when gave all his money and did not leave anything for himself, the Prophet (saws) asked him: “What have you kept for yourself?” . He  said: “Allah and His Messenger”[1]. But this verse is general, the specific reason for the revelation of the verse does not negate a general meaning; thus, everyone who is most pious will be prevented from fire, translating faith means to be beneficence to people. Hence, the message of Islam cannot be a message of misery, terrorism or extremism, rather, it is a message of friendliness, mercy , compassion, good and giving.
