Quran 2:195 – Do Not With Your Own Hands Cast Yourselves Into Destruction

[Umer]

When seen in a proper context, this verse is referring to spending in the way of Allah:

وَأَنفِقُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَلاَ تُلْقُواْ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَأَحْسِنُوَاْ إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

[And for this Jihad], give generously for the cause of God and [by evading it] do not with your own hands cast yourselves into destruction. And [spend] graciously; God loves those who are gracious. (Quran 2:195)

(Excerpt from Quranic Exegesis: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi)
