أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
إِن تُبْدواْ الصَّدَقَتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِىَ  صلى  وَإِن تُخْفُوهَا وتُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ  ج  وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنكُم مِّن سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ  قلى  وَاللهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ (271)
=  "Int~Tub-dush-Sho-da-qo~ti Fa Ni-'im~ma~ Hi~ (I prefer to prounce it as "Hi-ya")  (S/P)  Wa Int~Tukh-fu~ Ha~ Wa Tuu-tu~ Hal-Fu-qo-ro~~a Fa Hu-wa Khoi-rul-La Kum.  (J/P)  Wa Yu-kaf-fi-ru 'Ank~Kum~Mins~Sai-yi-a~ti Kum  (Q/P).  Wal-Lohu Bi Ma~ Taa-ma-lu~na Kho-bi~~~r".  (271).
 = "In" (after the silent Nun is a Ta, is an Ikhfaa Haqiqi, "Int~") = If,  "Tub-du~" (the silent Ba is a Qolqoloh Sughro. A Mad Ashli. The Alif with an o sign is ignored, {this is an Arabic grammar, it does not concern us}. After the Mad Ashli is an Alif Lam Syamsiah. "-dush-") = you (pl.) show,   "(A)sh-Sho-da-qo~ti" (after the Qof is a tiny Alif denotes a Mad Ashli) = the charities,  "Fa" = then,  "Ni-'im~ma~" (a Wajibul-Ghunnah. A Mad Ashli) = be pleased, comfort,   "Hi-ya" = her, it. (S/P) = a pause.   "Wa" = and,  "In" (after the silent Nun is a Ta, is an Ikhfaa Haqiqi, "Int~") = if,   "Tukh-fu~" = you (pl.) hide,  "Ha~" = her, it,  "Wa" = and,  "Tuu-tu~" = you (pl.) give,  "Ha~" (after it, is an Alif Lam Qomariah. "Hal-") = her, it,  "(A)l-Fu-qo~~a" (a Mad Wajib Muttashil) = the poor people,  "Fa" = then,  "Hu-wa" = he, it,  "Khoi-run" (a Mad Lin. After the Tanwin Ro is a Lam, is an Idghom Bi La~ Ghunnah, "-rul-") = good,   "La" = for,  "Kum" = you (pl.).  (J/P) =a Pause.  "Wa" = and.  "Yak-fi-ru" = he forgives,   " 'An" (after the silent Nun is a Kaf, is an Ikhfaa Haqiqi, " 'Ank~") = for,  "Kum" (after the silent Mim is a Mim, is an Idghom Syafawi, "Kum~") = you (pl.),  "Min" (after the silent Nun is a Sin, is an Ikhfaa Haqiqi, "Mins~") = from, of,   "Sai-yi-a~ti" (a Mad Lin. a Mad Ashli) = sins, misdeeds,  "Kum" = your (pl.).   Q/P = a pause.  "Wa" (after it, is an Alif Lam Syamsiah, "Wal-") = for,  "(A)l-Lohu" (a Lafzhul-Jalalah. The Lam is Tafkhim) = The God,  "Bi" = with, "Ma~" = what,  "Taa-ma-lu~na" = you (pl.),  "Kho-bi~run" (we pause here, the Mad Ashli becomes a Mad 'Aridh Lis-Sukun. The Ro is made silent but the below sign before it, makes it a Ro Tarqiq, the tongus is flat, "-bi~~~r") = Knowing.  (271)
 = "If you (pl.) show (your) giving to the charity, then it is better, but if you (pl.) hide / do not show or publicize it, when you (pl.) give it to the poor and the needies is best for you (pl.). For it / the charity given will eradicate (a portion of) your sins. For Allah Know of what you (pl.) have done.".
 = ( Allah Inform us that in giving charity, there are Two ways, either openly, such as paying the Zakah / Purity Tax. And when giving to charity or donating openly will encourage others to do the same, or quietly that the recipient does not know who the donor is . Thence, such charity is the best, and it is called "Shodaqoh Tatowwa'a or voluntary charity" which is much commendable. When a needy receives a donation quietly, it would save him/her from any embarresment. Giving to charity by these Two ways will eradicate or wipe out a portion of our sins, that is the trifling/little sins. And whatever thing or deed we do, Allah Know.).
{Note: The trifling sins are other than the Seven or the Seventy Great Sins. The Great Sins cannot be wiped out by just giving to charity, they must be by "Taubah", that is we must first be remorseful about them and beg Allah (but not the Imam or an Islamic Authority) for forgiveness and determine not to repeat them again.  The Seven Great sin as told by the Prophet s.a.w. are (i) "Syirk" that is polytheism or ascribing partner or partners to Allah. (ii) Killing a soul/person or souls either one's own self or others that Allah prohibited except it is lawful. (iii) Casting a spell over other. (iv) Eating up the property of orphan/s, (v) Devouring "Riba"/usury or giving it.  (vi) Fleeing from the battle field during war.  (vii) Accusing  a chaste girl or woman and a slow man as indecent and / or degrading or scorning at them.}
