So this charity is magnified in the hands of the Most Merciful in terms of its sense and meaning. The sense of it is in terms of what it is tangible, so you will find it in Paradise, the appearance of which is tangible, visible to the sight, and the meaning in it is in terms of what he did of lawful earning, piety in it, hastening to it, and a good soul with it when it emerges, and witnessing what we have mentioned of divine affairs. In it, he finds it in the dune during public viewing, and he finds it at every time the scales pass over him for the time of its expulsion while he is in Paradise, so he is singled out from God by a spectacle in the eye of His Paradise that no one can witness except one who is of this status.

And this is the meaning of his saying “good” in describing the loan, for God deals with us according to what He has legislated for us and not otherwise.

Among them is concealing the fact that it is charity, so that the recipient does not know in the hands of the recipient. If the worker who was appointed by the authority takes it with pride and oppression from you, then if it comes into the hands of the authority, who is the steward of it from God, he gives it to the authority of its masters for eight years, and its masters take it with pride and not arrogance, then it is their right in hand. This agent does not know who took what I gave him who is the owner of that money according to the specification, so the rich person who is the owner of the money over this poor person does not have any respect or honor, and he does not know whether it reached him according to the specification.
