Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٢٧٢﴾

Without diacritics

ليس عليك هداهم ولكن الله يهدي من يشاء وما تنفقوا من خير فلانفسكم وما تنفقون الا ابتغاء وجه الله وما تنفقوا من خير يوف اليكم وانتم لا تظلمون

It is not required Of thee (O Apostle), To set them on the right path, But God sets on the right path Whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give Benefits your own souls, And ye shall only do so Seeking the "Face" Of God. Whatever good Ye give, shall be Rendered back to you, And ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.
