What does the Qur'an say about charity (sadaqah)?

The Qur'an never frames charity as loss. It gives a striking image: what you give in the way of Allah is a single seed that grows into seven hundred, and Allah multiplies even beyond that.

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”— 2:261 (Saheeh International)
