 مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يُقۡرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَه لَه اَضۡعَافًا کَثِيۡرَةً ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَقۡبِضُ وَيَبۡصُۜطُ وَ اِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ○‏

Mun-zul-la-zee-yooq-ray-dzul-laa-ha-qur-dzun-ha-sa-nun                                                        Fa-yo-dzaa-aiy-fa-la-hoo-udz-aa-fun-ka-thee-rah                                                                     Wul-laa-ho-yuq-bay-dzo-wa-yub-so-to                                                                                         Wa-elai-hay-toor-ja-oon.

Who is that who will loan to Allah a goodly loan                                                              So that He will multiply it for him exponentially many times over?                         And surely Allah decreases and increases.                                                                     And to Him you will return.

Note 002:246: This verse provides for making goodly loan to Allah.    This real key to the prosperity is dealt with at length, among other places, in the Chapter 092 and 073:021.    An impressive translation of  للّٰهُ يَقۡبِضُ وَيَبۡصُۜطُ   by Allama Nooruddin states, “Allah receives (the sacrifice) and amplifies and to Him you shall be made to return (to get the amplified reward of your deeds)”.
