The term ‘Infaq’ in the Quran differs from general charity. It’s not limited to helping the poor, orphans, or the needy. Infaq specifically refers to spending in the way of Allah – for the propagation, elevation, and establishment of the religion. This spending, considered a loan to Allah, fuels the struggle for Islam's dominance. Supporting relatives is a personal obligation, while investing in the religion is a direct loan to Allah, a debt He Himself acknowledges. This concept distinguishes between familial support and investment in faith.
