This worldly life is no more than play and amusement. But if you are faithful and mindful ˹of Allah˺, He will grant you your ˹full˺ reward, and will not ask you ˹to donate all˺ your wealth. If He were to do so and pressure you, you would withhold and He would bring out your resentment. Here you are, being invited to donate ˹a little˺ in the cause of Allah. Still some of you withhold. And whoever does so, it is only to their own loss. For Allah is the Self-Sufficient, whereas you stand in need ˹of Him˺. If you ˹still˺ turn away, He will replace you with another people. And they will not be like you. Quran 47:36~38

إِنَّمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌۭ وَلَهْوٌۭ ۚ وَإِن تُؤْمِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ يُؤْتِكُمْ أُجُورَكُمْ وَلَا يَسْـَٔلْكُمْ أَمْوَلَكُمْ ‎ ‏إِن يَسْـَٔلْكُمُوهَا فَيُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوا۟ وَيُخْرِجْ أَضْغَنَكُمْ ‎ ‏هَٓأَنتُمْ هَٓؤُلَآءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنفِقُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَّن يَبْخَلُ ۖ وَمَن يَبْخَلْ فَإِنَّمَا يَبْخَلُ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْغَنِىُّ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ ۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوٓا۟ أَمْثَلَكُم
The title is derived from the direct mentioning of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 47:2. It also has the name of Al-Qitāl (Arabic: القتال), which translates to fighting due to the context of the sura. This sura pertains to a specific conflict that arose from people prohibiting the acceptance and spread of Islam. It refers to the Battle of Badr, where an army was being gathered to attack Medina. The Battle of Badr took place during Ramadan, in year 2 of the Islamic calendar.
دنیا کی زندگی تو محض کھیل اور تماشا ہے۔ اور اگر تم ایمان لاؤ گے اور پرہیزگاری کرو گے تو وہ تم کو تمہارا اجر دے گا۔ اور تم سے تمہارا مال طلب نہیں کرے گا اگر وہ تم سے مال طلب کرے اور تمہیں تنگ کرے تو تم بخل کرنے لگو اور وہ (بخل) تمہاری بدنیتی ظاہر کرکے رہے دیکھو تم وہ لوگ ہو کہ خدا کی راہ میں خرچ کرنے کے لئے بلائے جاتے ہو۔ تو تم میں ایسے شخص بھی ہیں جو بخل کرنے لگتے ہیں۔ اور جو بخل کرتا ہے اپنے آپ سے بخل کرتا ہے۔ اور خدا بےنیاز ہے اور تم محتاج۔ اور اگر تم منہ پھیرو گے تو وہ تمہاری جگہ اور لوگوں کو لے آئے گا اور وہ تمہاری طرح کے نہیں ہوں گے
