Part 2 - "WHO IS THE ONE WHO WOULD GIVE ALLAH A GOOD LOAN SO THAT ALLAH MULTIPLIES IT FOR HIM MANY TIMES? AND ALLAH WITHHOLDS AND EXTENDS, AND TO HIM YOU ARE TO BE RETURNED." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 245)

Giving 'loan' to Allah Ta'alah has also been explained as the giving of actual loan to His creations, i.e. the human beings, and taking care of their needs. The act of giving loan has been credited with great merit in Hadith. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said:

"For a Muslim who gives loan to another Muslim, this act of giving loan will be equal to having given Sadaqah (voluntary charity) twice." (Mazhari with reference to Ibn Majah)
