Lesson
‘Al- ‘afw - (which is superfluous, surplus)
more than is needed. It means, “Spend that which is remainder, residue and
savings after your lawful and necessary requisites”.
God Almighty has commanded the best principle to establish the human
society on financially strong foundations in this verse. Many nations have tried
to get this purpose but in vain, which can be gained only after acting upon
this rule. That is to say; the system in which every body may earn for his
daily food. The nation may get rid of reproach of the poorness and unemployment,
may escape from starving. Due to poverty nobody may be compelled for suicide,
prostitution, denial of conduct and humanity decay.
To acquire this purpose Allah Almighty has given this rule that
every person should earn legally and lawfully, meet his needs out of it and
spend on the needy persons his superfluous after lawful necessities.
The remedy of the entire badness exists in this order, which is
being faced by the human society at this time, for example we see that value of
the human labor has lessen now a day. Complete remuneration is not being paid in
exchange the physical and mental endeavors. The capital has taken place of the
human labor. So the society has been distributed in to two different groups. One
group is the richest who is very few in numbers and the other is very poor
which a lot in numbers is. On one side there is luxury, idleness and power of
influence, while on the other side there is poorness, hard labor and
helplessness. The rich persons are filling their pockets with the blood of the
poor persons and the poor are being trampled under their feet. Uneasiness and despair
has grown in the public due to this system.
The western nations thought many solutions for it but could not found.
The one and the best solution of it is that, which has been proposed by the
Holy Qur’an. That is to say; every rich person should keep with him only to
fulfill his lawful necessities and the remaining should be distributed in to
the deserving persons.
It is revealed that neither the money will be collected in a few
hands due to acting upon this command, nor poverty will increase. Moreover the person,
who works hard, will never die of starving. This is the method of correction of
the financial ruins and poverty which is held with none.
