What should we spend in the cause of Allah?

ہمیں اللہ کی راہ میں کیا خرچ کرنا چاہئیے؟

Surah Al-Baqarah: 2 - Ayah: 267
Arabic
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَنۡفِقُوۡا مِنۡ طَيِّبٰتِ مَا كَسَبۡتُمۡ وَمِمَّاۤ اَخۡرَجۡنَا لَـكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الۡخَبِيۡثَ مِنۡهُ تُنۡفِقُوۡنَ وَلَسۡتُمۡ بِاٰخِذِيۡهِ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ تُغۡمِضُوۡا فِيۡهِ​ؕ وَاعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيۡدٌ‏
English
Believers! Spend (in the Way of Allah) out of the good things you have earned and out of what We have produced for you from the earth, and choose not for your spending the bad things such as you yourselves would not accept or accept only by overlooking its defects. Know well that Allah is All-Munificent, Most Praiseworthy.
Urdu
Aey logon jo iman laye ho, jo maal tumne kamaye hain aur jo kuch humne zameen se tumhare liye nikala hai, usmein se behtar hissa raah e khuda mein kharch karo, aisa na ho ke uski raah mein dene ke liye buri se buri cheez chaantne (pick out) ki koshish karne lago, halaanke wahi cheez agar koi tumhein dey to tum hargiz usey lena gawara na karoge illa yeh ke isko qabool karne mein tum igmaaz (disdain) barat jao, tumhein jaan lena chahiye ke Allah bay-niyaz hai aur behtareen sifaat se muttasif hai
Surah Ali 'Imran: 3 - Ayah: 92
Arabic
لَنۡ تَنَالُوا الۡبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنۡفِقُوۡا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوۡنَ ؕ  وَمَا تُنۡفِقُوۡا مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِهٖ عَلِيۡمٌ‏
English
You shall not attain righteousness until you spend out of what you love (in the way of Allah). Allah knows whatever you spend.
Urdu
