Fear

When you are afraid giving will leave you short

Two promises are contrasted, and the sources of each are named.

ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Ash-shayṭānu yaʿidukumu-l-faqra wa ya'murukum bi-l-faḥshā', wa-llāhu yaʿidukum maghfiratan minhu wa faḍlan…

“Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allāh promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”
