And the ones whodistributetheir possessionsto show off tothe people,and notthey have convictionregarding the Oneand notregarding the day ofthe forth coming;and whoeverhasthe mindless oneto himas a companion,thus has evilas a companion.
And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a comrade, a bad comrade hath he.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
And those who spend their wealth to be seen by people, and believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. As for him who has Satan for his companion—an evil companion is he!
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
those who spend their property out of a desire to show off and not because of their belief in God and the Day of Judgment, and (lastly) those who choose Satan for a friend; what an evil friend!
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And those who spend their property (in alms) to be seen of the people and do not believe in Allah nor in the last day; and as for him whose associate is the Shaitan, an evil associate is he!
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
And [God does not like] those who spend their wealth for the sake of ostentation, who do not believe in God or the Last Day. Whoever has Satan as his companion has an evil companion.

اور جو لوگ اپنے اموال کو لوگوں کو دکھانے کے لئے خرچ کرتے ہیں اور اللہ اور آخرت پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے ہیں انہیں معلوم ہونا چاہئے کہ جس کا شیطان ساتھی ہوجائے وہ بدترین ساتھی ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اور وہ لوگ بھی اللہ کو ناپسند ہیں جو اپنے مال محض لوگوں کو دکھانے کیلیے خرچ کرتے ہیں اور در حقیقت نہ اللہ پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں نہ روز آخر پر سچ یہ ہے کہ شیطان جس کا رفیق ہوا اُسے بہت ہی بری رفاقت میسر آئی
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور وہ جو اپنے مال لوگوں کے دکھاوے کو خرچ کرتے ہیں اور ایمان نہیں لاتے اللہ اور نہ قیامت پر، اور جس کا مصاحب شیطان ہوا، تو کتنا برا مصاحب ہے،
- Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور جو اپنے مال صرف لوگوں کو دکھانے کے لیے خرچ کرتے ہیں دراصل وہ خدا اور روزِ جزا پر ایمان و یقین نہیں رکھتے (اللہ ایسے لوگوں کو دوست نہیں رکھتا)۔ اور جس کا مصاحب شیطان ہو۔ وہ اس کا بہت بُرا مصاحب ہے۔
- Najafi, Muhammad
And the ones who distribute their possessions to show off to the people, and not they have conviction regarding the One and not regarding the day of the forth coming; and whoever has the mindless one to him as a companion, thus has evil as a companion. [ 4 : 38 ]

CONSTITUTION OF THE ONE WHO IS THE NOURISHER, THE SAFE-KEEPER
This website is a work of passion. It exists only for a couple of reasons:
1) I wanted to understand the Book without involving any second-party sources of guidance i.e. exegesis, or Asbab-e-Nuzul, or extra-Quranic ahadith, etc. 2) You must also know what the bare truth is, so we can work together.
Because the process must be transparent, the entire website is available for you to download. You can go through the code, and if you can make any improvements to this process, you are most welcome to. It is a humble request to update me regarding the improvements so I can also update myself.
Due Credits:
This website was possible by help of many people and forums who helped me to learn Arabic, Philosophy, Law, Psychology, and PHP and other Web scripts. To be honest, I do not even know the names of many but I did learn from them. Some of these people were already dead by the time I read their input.
The entire code of this website is available for the same reason, that what they taught me, I can only pay it forward.
The Arabic text of the Quran was obtained from Tanzil. The additional translations were also obtained from Tanzil from this link.
The social-sharing images of verses were obtained from Legacy Quran.com, and were then resized for proper social-media display.
