O you who believe! Do not nullify your charitable deeds with reminders and hurtful words, like him who spends his wealth to be seen by the people, and does not believe in God and the Last Day. His likeness is that of a smooth rock covered with soil: a downpour strikes it, and leaves it bare-they gain nothing from their efforts. God does not guide the disbelieving people.
Does a good deed count if I do it to be seen?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 2:264 Itani has "Do not nullify your charitable deeds with reminders and hurtful words, like him who spends his wealth to be seen by the people", and the likeness ends "they gain nothing from their efforts". Rodwell has "No profit from their works shall they be able to gain".
- 02 4:38 Itani has "those who spend their money to be seen by people", and Palmer has "for appearance sake before men". The verse joins this giving to not believing "in God nor in the Last Day", as Itani has it.
- 03 4:142 Itani has "when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing off in front of people", and Pickthall has "they perform it languidly and to be seen of men". The verse speaks of the hypocrites, and of prayer.
- 04 107:4–6 The passage sets woe on those who pray and are heedless of their prayer, and the renderings of 107:6 differ: Itani has "Those who put on the appearance", Pickthall has "Who would be seen (at worship)", Rodwell has "Who make a shew of devotion", and Sale has "who play the hypocrites".
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The five print a clear answer for giving: a gift made to be seen is made void. At 2:264 Itani has "Do not nullify your charitable deeds", and the likeness that follows ends "they gain nothing from their efforts", in Itani's words.
4:38 names the same giving, and Palmer has "for appearance sake before men". At 2:264 and at 4:38, in all five renderings, the one who gives to be seen is also one who does not believe in God and the Last Day. The verses join the two, and this study does not separate them.
For prayer, 4:142 speaks of the hypocrites: Itani has "showing off in front of people", and Rodwell has "to be seen of men". 107:4-6 sets woe on those who pray and are heedless of their prayer, and the renderings of 107:6 differ: Itani has "Those who put on the appearance", Palmer has "Who pretend", and Sale has "who play the hypocrites".
So the text speaks of deeds done to be seen in two settings, giving and prayer, and in each it ties the display to an inward fault: unbelief at 2:264 and 4:38, hypocrisy at 4:142, heedlessness at 107:5. It does not print a rule for a deed done for God that others also happen to see.
Whether a deed done partly for display counts in part is a question for , jurisprudence and commentary, a layer this platform does not hold or show.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 2:264, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

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 ye who believe! make not your almsgiving vain by taunts and annoyance, like him who expends what he has for the sake of appearances before men, and believes not in God and the last day; for his likeness is as the likeness of a flint with soil upon it, and a heavy shower falls on it and leaves it bare rock; they can do nought with what they earn, for God guides not the misbelieving folk
O ye who believe! make not your alms void by reproaches and injury, like him who spendeth his substance to be seen of men, and believeth not in God and in the latter day. The likeness of such an one is that of a rock with a thin soil upon it, on which a heavy rain falleth but leaveth it hard: No profit from their works shall they be able to gain; for God guideth not the unbelieving people
O true believers, make not your alms of none effect by reproaching, or mischief, as he who layeth out what he hath to appear unto men to give alms, and believeth not in God and the last day. The likeness of such a one, is as a flint covered with earth, on which a violent rain falleth, and leaveth it hard. They cannot prosper in any thing which they have gained, for God directeth not the unbelieving people

O besimtarë! Mos i prishni lëmoshat tuaja me përmendje e fyerje, sikurse ai që e jep pasurinë e tij vetëm për sy të njerëzve, ndërkohë nuk e beson Allahun dhe Ditën e Fundit. Ai i shëmbëllen një guri të lëmuar që sipër ka dhé, mbi të cilin bie një shi i rrëmbyer dhe e lë të zhveshur. Atyre nuk u bëjnë dobi veprat që kanë bërë. Allahu nuk e udhëzon popullin jobesimtar.
হে মুমিনগণ! সাদাকা করে খোটা এবং কষ্ট দিয়ে তোমরা তোমাদের সাদাকাকে ঐ ব্যক্তির মতো বরবাদ করো না যে নিজের সম্পদ লোক দেখানোর উদ্দেশ্যে ব্যয় করে এবং আল্লাহ ও আখিরাতের প্রতি ঈমান রাখে না। এ ধরনের সাদাকাকারীর উপমা হলো এমন একটি মসৃণ পাথর, যার উপর সামান্য মাটির আস্তর থাকে, তারপর প্রবল বৃষ্টিপাত সেটাকে ধুয়ে মুছে পরিষ্কার করে দেয়। তারা যা (দান সাদাকা করে) উপার্জন করে তার কিছুই তারা তাদের কাজে লাগাতে পারে না।(৮৪) আর আল্লাহ কাফির সম্প্রদায়কে হিদায়াত দান করেন না।
O vi koji vjerujete, ne kvarite sadake svoje prigovorima i uvredama, kao što to čini onaj koji imetak svoj troši da bi se ljudima pokazao, a ne vjeruje u Allaha i onaj svijet. Primjer njegov je kao primjer glatke stijene – na kojoj ima zemlje, pa je pogodi veliki pljusak i ogoli je. Oni nemaju nikakve koristi od onoga što su stjecali. A Allah ne upućuje na Pravi put ljude koji ne vjeruju.

ჰეი, თქვენ, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! ნუ აქცევთ ფუჭად თქვენს მოწყალებებს საყვედურითა და შეურაცხყოფით, როგორც ის, ვინც ხარჯავს თავის ქონებას ხალხის წინაშე საჩვენებლად (რათა აქონ და ადიდონ იგი) და არ სწამს ალლაჰისა და უკანასკნელი დღის. მისი მაგალითი ჰგავს კლდეს, რომელზეც თხელი მიწის ფენაა; და დაატყდა მას ძლიერი წვიმა და დატოვა იგი შიშვლად (უმიწოდ). ისინი ვერ ფლობენ ვერაფერს იმიდან, რაც მოიპოვეს, რადგან ალლაჰი არ უძღვება ურწმუნო ხალხს.
O die ihr glaubt, macht nicht eure Almosen durch (Dankbarkeit einfordernde) Vorhaltung (eurer Gabe) und Ungemach zunichte, wie derjenige, der seinen Besitz aus Augendienerei vor den Menschen ausgibt und nicht an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt! So ist sein Gleichnis das eines glatten Steins mit Erdreich darüber, den dann ein heftiger Regenguss trifft und ihn nackt lässt. Sie haben keine Macht über etwas von dem, was sie erworben haben. Und Allah leitet das ungläubige Volk nicht recht.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε, μην καθιστάτε μάταιες τις ελεημοσύνες σας μέσω του να καυχιέστε (σ’ εκείνον που του δώσατε ελεημοσύνη) ή του κακού (με το να τον βλάπτετε με λόγια ή με πράξεις σχετικά με την ελεημοσύνη), όπως αυτός που ξοδεύει από την περιουσία του (σε ελεημοσύνη) μόνο και μόνο για επίδειξη μπροστά στους ανθρώπους ενώ δεν πιστεύει στον Αλλάχ και την Έσχατη Ημέρα. Το παράδειγμά του είναι σαν εκείνο ενός λείου βράχου πάνω στον οποίο υπάρχει λίγη σκόνη και έπειτα έπεσε πάνω του δυνατή βροχή και τον άφησε γυμνό, δεν έχει τίποτε πάνω του. Έτσι, δεν θα μπορέσουν να πάρουν τίποτε (αμοιβή κατά την Έσχατη Ημέρα ) για ό,τι έκαναν (δηλ. για ό,τι ξόδεψαν σε ελεημοσύνη). Και ο Αλλάχ δεν καθοδηγεί τους άπιστους.
ऐ ईमान वालो! अपने दान को उपकार जताकर और कष्ट पहुँचाकर नष्ट न करो, उस व्यक्ति की तरह, जो अपना धन लोगों को दिखाने के लिए खर्च करता है और अल्लाह तथा अंतिम दिन पर ईमान नहीं रखता। तो उसका उदाहरण एक चिकने पत्थर के उदाहरण जैसा है, जिसपर थोड़ी-सी मिट्टी हो, फिर उसपर एक ज़ोर की वर्षा हो, तो उसे एक साफ़ चट्टान की दशा में छोड़ जाए। वे उसमें से किसी चीज़ पर सक्षम नहीं हो सकेंगे जो उन्होंने कमाया, और अल्लाह काफ़िर लोगों का मार्गदर्शन नहीं करता।
O credenti! Non vanificate la vostra elemosina facendone un fardello o vantandovi, come quello che dona per mettersi in mostra davanti alla gente e non crede in Allāh e nell’Ultimo Giorno: il suo esempio è come l’esempio di una roccia su cui c’è del terriccio, bagnata poi dalla pioggia, che la lascia nuda; loro non hanno potere su niente di ciò che hanno guadagnato, e Allāh non guida il popolo miscredente.
264. O jūs, kurie tikite! Nepaverskite savo Sadaka (labdaros) beverte su priminimais apie savo dosnumą arba žalinga (žodžiais), kaip tas, kuris leidžia savo turtą, kad žmonės tai pamatytų, ir jis netiki Allahą, nei Paskutiniąją Dieną. Jis panašus į lygią uolą, ant kurios yra šiek tiek dulkių. Ant jos stipriai lyja ir ji tampa plika. Jie nesugeba nieko padaryti su tuo, ką jie įgijo. Ir Allahas neveda teisingu keliu netikinčiųjų.

О вы, которые уверовали! Не делайте тщетными свои пожертвования упрёком и причинением обиды — подобно тому, кто расходует своё имущество напоказ людям и не верует в Аллаха и Последний день. Его пример — как гладкая скала, покрытая землёй, которую постиг ливень и оставил её совершенно голой. Они не владеют ничем из того, что приобрели. Аллах не наставляет на верный путь людей, отвергших веру.
О ви који верујете, не кварите милостиње своје приговорима и увредама, као што то чини онај који богатство своје троши да би се људима показао, а не верује у Аллаха и Будући свет. Његов пример је као пример глатке стене на којој има земље, па је погоди велики пљусак и оголи је. Они немају никакве користи од онога што су стицали. А Аллах не упућује на Прави пут људе који не верују.
Enyi mlioamini! Msiharibu sadaka zenu kwa masimbulizi na maudhi. Kama yule anayetoa mali yake ili kujionyesha kwa watu, wala hamuamini Mwenyezi Mungu wala Siku ya Mwisho. Basi mfano wake ni kama mfano wa jabali ambalo juu yake kuna udongo, kisha likapigwa na mvua kubwa, ikaliacha tupu. Basi hawatakuwa na uwezo wowote juu ya kile walichochuma. Na Mwenyezi Mungu hawaongoi kaumu ya makafiri.
Troende! Låt inte [belöningen för] er välgörenhet gå om intet genom att påminna om er generositet och genom sårande ord, likt någon som ger av sina ägodelar för att visa upp sig för andra och som inte tror på Gud och den sista dagen. Han kan liknas vid en slät sten täckt av jord; när ett störtregn faller lämnas den alldeles bar. De kan inte uppnå någonting alls med det de åstadkommit. Gud vägleder inte otrogna människor.
Ey iman edenler! Allah'a ve ahiret gününe iman etmediği halde malını gösteriş için harcayan kimse gibi, başa kakmak ve incitmek suretiyle yaptığınız hayırlarınızı boşa çıkarmayın. Artık onun durumu, üzerinde biraz toprak bulunan düz kayaya benzer ki, sağanak bir yağmur isabet etmiş de onu çıplak pürüzsüz kaya haline getirivermiştir. Bunlar kazandıklarından hiçbir şeye sahip olamazlar. Allah, kâfirleri doğru yola iletmez.
اے ایمان والو! اپنی خیرات کو احسان جتا کر اور ایذا پہنچا کر برباد نہ کرو! جس طرح وه شخص جو اپنا مال لوگوں کے دکھاوے کے لئے خرچ کرے اور نہ اللہ تعالیٰ پر ایمان رکھے نہ قیامت پر، اس کی مثال اس صاف پتھر کی طرح ہے جس پر تھوڑی سی مٹی ہو پھر اس پر زوردار مینہ برسے اور وه اسے بالکل صاف اور سخت چھوڑ دے[1] ، ان ریاکاروں کو اپنی کمائی میں سے کوئی چیز ہاتھ نہیں لگتی اور اللہ تعالیٰ کافروں کی قوم کو (سیدھی) راه نہیں دکھاتا۔

And the parable of those who spend their wealth seeking God's approval, and to strengthen their souls, is that of a garden on a hillside. If heavy rain falls on it, its produce is doubled; and if no heavy rain falls, then dew is enough. God is seeing of everything you do.
And the likeness of those who spend their wealth in search of Allah's pleasure, and for the strengthening of their souls, is as the likeness of a garden on a height. The rainstorm smiteth it and it bringeth forth its fruit twofold. And if the rainstorm smite it not, then the shower. Allah is Seer of what ye do
But the likeness of those who expend their wealth craving the goodwill of God, and as an insurance for their souls, is as the likeness of a garden on a hill. A heavy shower falls on it, and it brings forth its eatables twofold; and if no heavy shower falls on it, the dew does; and God on what ye do doth look
And the likeness of those who expend their substance from a desire to please God, and for the stablishing of their souls, is as a garden on a hill, on which the heavy rain falleth, and it yieldeth its fruits twofold; and even if a heavy rain fall not on it, yet is there a dew: God beholdeth your actions
And the likeness of those who lay out their substance from a desire to please God, and for an establishment for their souls, is as a garden on a hill, on which a violent rain falleth, and it bringeth forth its fruits twofold; and if a violent rain falleth not on it, yet the dew falleth thereon: And God seeth that which ye do

যারা মানুষকে দেখানোর জন্য তাদের ধন-সম্পদ ব্যয় করে এবং আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিবসে ঈমান আনে না। আর শয়তান যার সাথী হয়, সাথী হিসেবে সে কতইনা নিকৃষ্ট !

Und (die Strafe steht auch) diejenigen (zu), die ihren Besitz aus Augendienerei vor den Menschen ausgeben (und um gesehen zu werden), und weder an Allah noch an den Jüngsten Tag glauben; und wer den Satan zum Gesellen hat, der hat da einen bösen Gesellen.
Και (αυτό το μαρτύριο θα είναι επίσης και για) εκείνους που ξοδεύουν από τα πλούτη τους για να επιδεικνύονται στους ανθρώπους, ενώ δεν πιστεύουν στον Αλλάχ ούτε στην Έσχατη Ημέρα. Όποιος παίρνει τον Σατανά ως σύντροφο, πράγματι, έχει πάρει τον πιο άθλιο σύντροφο!
तथा जो लोग अपना धन, लोगों को दिखाने के लिए दान करते हैं और अल्लाह तथा अंतिम दिन पर ईमान नहीं रखते। तथा शैतान जिसका साथी हो, तो वह बहुत बुरा साथी[32] है।
E quelli che sprecano i loro averi con ostentazione davanti alla gente e non credono in Allāh e nell’Ultimo Giorno – e chi ha per compagno Satana ha un infausto compagno.

Na ambao hutoa mali zao ili kujionyesha kwa watu, wala hawamwamini Mwenyezi Mungu wala Siku ya Mwisho. Na yule ambaye Shetani amekuwa ndiye mwenza wake, basi ana mwenza mbaya mno.
och för de som ger av sina tillgångar för att bli sedda av människor, men som varken tror på Gud eller på den yttersta dagen. Den som har Satan till sin följeslagare har fått en usel följeslagare.
Onlar ki, Allah’a ve ahiret gününe iman etmedikleri halde, mallarını insanlara gösteriş için infak ederler. Şeytan kimin arkadaşı olmuşsa, o ne kötü bir arkadaştır.

Verily, God would not wrong by the weight of an atom; and if it's a good work, He will double it and bring from Himself a mighty hire
God truly will not wrong any one of the weight of a mote; and if there be any good deed, he will repay it doubly; and from his presence shall be given a great recompense

Wahrlich, die Heuchler wollen Allah täuschen, doch ist Er es, der sie täuscht. Und wenn sie sich zum Gebet hinstellen, stellen sie sich (nur) schwerfällig (und faul) hin, wobei sie von den Menschen gesehen werden wollen, und sie gedenken Allahs nur wenig.
Οι υποκριτές (νομίζουν ότι) ξεγελούν τον Αλλάχ (δείχνοντας την πίστη και κρύβοντας την απιστία τους μέσα τους), αλλά είναι Αυτός που τους ξεγελάει (ανταποδίδοντας την πράξη τους, δίνοντάς τους τους κανόνες και τα δικαιώματα των Μουσουλμάνων κατά την εγκόσμια ζωή, και στη Μέλλουσα θα τους δώσει φως μαζί με τους Μουσουλμάνους, αλλά ξαφνικά θα σβήσει το φως των υποκριτών και θα τους τιμωρήσει για την απιστία και την υποκρισία τους). Όποτε σηκώνονται για προσευχή, σηκώνονται νωχελικά, επιδεικνύονται στους ανθρώπους, και δεν μνημονεύουν τον Αλλάχ παρά λίγο,

In verità gli ipocriti ingannano Allāh, e sarà Allāh a ingannarli! E se si alzano in preghiera, lo fanno con pigrizia, solo per mettersi in mostra agli occhi della gente, e non invocano Allāh se non poco,

Воистину, лицемеры пытаются обмануть Аллаха, тогда как это Он вводит их в заблуждение. А когда они встают на молитву, то встают ленивыми, напоказ людям, и не поминают Аллаха, кроме как немного,
Лицемери, заиста, настоје да преваре Аллаха, а Он ће њих да надмудри. Када устају да молитву обављају, мрзовољно се дижу и приказују се свету, а Аллаха само мало спомињу.

De skenbart troende försöker överlista Gud, men det är han som överlistar dem. När de reser sig för att be gör de det motvilligt, bara för att visa upp sig för människor, och de nämner Gud endast sparsamt.

He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear God's revelations being rejected, or ridiculed, do not sit with them until they engage in some other subject. Otherwise, you would be like them. God will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers, into Hell, altogether.
He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell
He hath revealed this to you in the Book, that when ye hear the signs of God disbelieved in and mocked at, then sit ye not down with them until they plunge into another discourse, for verily, then ye would be like them. Verily, God will gather the hypocrites and misbelievers into hell together
And already hath He sent this down to you in the Book "WHEN YE SHALL HEAR THE SIGNS OF GOD THEY SHALL NOT BE BELIEVED BUT SHALL BE MOCKED AT." Sit ye not therefore with such, until they engage in other discourse; otherwise, ye will become like them. Verily God will gather the hypocrites and the infidels all together in Hell
And he hath already revealed unto you, in the book of the Koran, the following passage, when ye shall hear the signs of God, they shall not be believed, but they shall be laughed to scorn. Therefore sit not with them who believe not, until they engage in different discourse; for if ye do ye will certainly become like unto them. God will surely gather the ungodly and the unbelievers together in hell

Those who lie in wait for you: if you attain victory from God, they say, "Were we not with you?" But if the disbelievers get a turn, they say, "Did we not side with you, and defend you from the believers?" God will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection; and God will give the disbelievers no means of overcoming the believers.
Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers
Those who lie in wait for you, and if the victory be yours from God, say, 'Were we not with you?' and if the misbelievers have a chance, they say, 'Did we not get the mastery over you, and defend you from the believers?' But God shall judge between you on the resurrection day; for God will not give the misbelievers a way against believers
They watch you narrowly. Then if God grant you a victory, they say, "Are we not with you?" and if the infidels meet with a success, they say to them, "Were we not superior to you: and did we not defend you from those believers?" God shall judge betwixt ye on the day of the resurrection, and God will by no means make a way for the infidels over the believers
They who wait to observe what befalleth you, if victory be granted you from God, say, were we not with you? But if any advantage happen to the infidels, they say unto them, were we not superior to you, and have we not defended you against the believers? God shall judge between you on the day of resurrection; and God will not grant the unbelievers means to prevail over the faithful
4:142 — the verse above
مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَلَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ سَبِيلًا

Wavering in between, neither with these, nor with those. Whomever God sends astray, you will never find for him a way.
Swaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) wilt not find a way for him
wavering between the two, neither to these nor yet to those! but whomsoever God doth lead astray thou shall not find for him a way
Wavering between the one and the other - belonging neither to these nor those! and by no means shalt thou find a path for him whom God misleadeth
wavering between faith and infidelity, and adhering neither unto these nor unto those: And for him whom God shall lead astray, thou shalt find no true path

The translators word this verse differently
O you who believe! Do not befriend disbelievers rather than believers. Do you want to give God a clear case against you?
O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for (your) friends in place of believers. Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you
O ye who believe! take not misbelievers for patrons rather than believers; do ye wish to make for God a power against you
O believers! take not infidels for friends rather than believers. Would ye furnish God with clear right to punish you
O true believers, take not the unbelievers for your protectors, besides the faithful. Will ye furnish God with an evident argument of impiety against you

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it1 of the 1 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The anchors are the four places the question is put to: two verses on spending to be seen (2:264, 4:38), one on praying to be seen (4:142), and the closing verses of a short surah on prayer made for show (107:4-6). The probe 'to be seen|seen of men|seen by people|seen by the people|be seen' returns 24 rows at 11 verses. The four carried here are those where the display is attached to giving or to prayer; the other seven speak of being seen in other senses, or, at one verse, of setting out with display rather than of a deed of giving or prayer. This study does not say whether a deed done partly for display counts in part, or how a person is to judge their own motive. Those are questions for , jurisprudence and commentary, a layer this platform does not hold or show.
