يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَارَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ (10)
(61:10) O you who have believed, shall I tell you of a bargain' *14 that will save you from a painful torment?
*14) A bargain is something in which a person employs his wealth, time, labour and talent in order to earn a profit. In the same sense the Faith and Jihad in the cause of AIIah have ban called a bargain, as if to say: If you exert alI your powers and expend all your resources in the way of Allah, you will get the profits that are being mentioned in the following verses. This same theme has been expressed in At-Taubah: III in another way. (See E.N. 106 of At-Taubah).
