الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَالصَّابِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ وَالْمُقِيمِي الصَّلَاةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ (35)
(22:35) whose hearts are filled with awe when Allah is mentioned before them: who endure with fortitude any . affliction that befalls them: and who establish Salat and, expend of what We have given them. *66
*66) It means that righteous people spend their lawful provisions in the Way of Allah to meet their own and their dependents' lawful needs, to help their relatives, neighbours and other needy people, on public works and propagation of the Word of Allah. It dces not include expenditure in unlawful ways for unlawful purposes. The Qur'anic term lnfaq implies neither over-spending nor being miserly and stingy, but spending one's wealth on oneself and others according to one's means and status in society.
