Surah Al-Baqara 2:276 — Meaning, Translation & Reflection

يَمْحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ وَيُرْبِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ

English: God blights usury, but blesses charitable deeds with multiple increase: He does not love the ungrateful sinner.

Bengali: আল্লাহ তা’আলা সুদকে নিশ্চিহ্ন করেন এবং দান খয়রাতকে বর্ধিত করেন। আল্লাহ পছন্দ করেন না কোন অবিশ্বাসী পাপীকে।

Reflect with the Five Lenses

Maani's framework for Tadabbur (heart-centred reflection) on Surah Al-Baqara 2:276:

• Wording. Look closely at the specific words and structure. Which word stands out, and why might Allah have chosen it here?
• Quranic Worlds. Place the verse in its context — what is happening around it, and what world does it open up?
• Personal Experience. Ask not just what this means, but what it means TO me and FOR me, right now in my life.
• Connections. How does this verse connect to other verses, to the Sunnah, or to themes across the Quran?
• General Lessons. What timeless lesson or action point can I carry away and live by?
