2:276 Sadaqât الصَّدَقَاتِ is the plural form of Sadaqaصدق meaning to remit in charity or forgo. It has also the means to speak the truth or prove true. Allâh said, "Allâh annuls usury and interest and makes alms and charity grow". Charity reflects the broad basis of human sympathy, whereas usury and interest annihilate all sympathetic affections. “Allâh annuls usury and promotes charity” is to be read in connection with verse 2:269: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “On the Day of Resurrection Allâh will ask: Where are the things you gave to those who asked you in My name? The servant will point to insignificant objects. Allâh will then say, Are you ashamed to appear before Me with these valueless alms you gave? You knew you were going to appear before Me. Then Allâh will say, I have pardoned you because of a beggars request and the joy you gave him. I have made your alms grow. Allâh will then show the alms given by the servant that have become larger than the Mount of Uhad” (Bukhârî).
