Surah At-Tawbah, verse 54

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٥٤﴾

Tap a word for its meaning and pronunciation, then open its page.

Without diacritics

وما منعهم ان تقبل منهم نفقاتهم الا انهم كفروا بالله وبرسوله ولا ياتون الصلاة الا وهم كسالى ولا ينفقون الا وهم كارهون

The only reasons why Their contributions are not Accepted are: that they reject God and His Apostle; That they come to prayer Without earnestness; and that They offer contributions unwillingly.
