[2:262]

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٲلَهُمۡ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتۡبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُواْ مَنًّ۬ا وَلَآ أَذً۬ى‌ۙ لَّهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ

Those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah and afterward make not reproach and injury to follow that which they have spent; their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve.

.

.

.

De som spenderar sina rikedomar för Allahs sak och efteråt gör inte kritisera och skada att följa det som de har spenderat, deras lön med sin Herre, och det får ingen fruktan komma över dem, ej heller skall man sörja.

[2:263]

۞ قَوۡلٌ۬ مَّعۡرُوفٌ۬ وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ۬ يَتۡبَعُهَآ أَذً۬ى‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ۬

.

.

.

A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement.

.

.

.

Ett vänligt ord med förlåtelse är bättre än allmosor följt av skada. Allah är absolut, mild.

[2:264]

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَـٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ كَٱلَّذِى يُنفِقُ مَالَهُ ۥ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۖ فَمَثَلُهُ ۥ كَمَثَلِ صَفۡوَانٍ عَلَيۡهِ تُرَابٌ۬ فَأَصَابَهُ ۥ وَابِلٌ۬ فَتَرَڪَهُ ۥ صَلۡدً۬ا‌ۖ لَّا يَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ۬ مِّمَّا ڪَسَبُواْ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ

.

.

O ye who believe! Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach and injury, like him who spendeth his wealth only to be seen of men and believeth not in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is as the likeness of a rock whereon is dust of earth; a rainstorm smiteth it, leaving it smooth and bare. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.

.

.

.

O ni som tror! Återge inte förgäves dina allmosor genom smälek och skada, som han som spendeth sin förmögenhet endast ses av män och inte tror på Allah och den Sista Dagen. Hans likhet är att likna en sten varpå är stoft på jorden, en regnstorm angriper den, lämnar den mjuk och blottad. De har ingen kontroll över vad som helst av det som de har fått. Allah vägleder inte de icke troende folk.

"Uppe med tuppen"-today or actually like every other day.

But today we had to wake up at 7 am and do our breakfast. We have been making plans with our friend Serkan and his family to go to their garden that is 30 min out from town. They have avocado tree there!! So thats kind of my reason to fallow them and I am the only one that can drive so thats the second reason. They are gonna bring kisir (a bulgur dish) and I have been making karleksmums (love muffins) so we have something good to the çay.

But the thing is we cant reach Serkan on his phone so we dont know when we are going. I really hope they will call soon becouse today is thursday which means we have our bazaar and we have to be home around 4 to get the best deals on the best vegetables and frutes.

So I hope Serkan dosent fuck my day up ...
