Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: Who is it that will lend to Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the verse in the Qur'an:
Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loanمَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا
[Al-Baqarah 2:245]
?

Answer:
Its meaning is clear. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) encourages the good loan by which you fulfill your brother's need. "Good" means that you do not take any benefit in return for the loan, because it was reported that every loan that brings a benefit is riba (usury or interest), and the scholars have agreed on this. So the good loan is the one in which there is no riba; that is the good loan. It is not an investment loan as banks do. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
