Lesson
Before these verses, two basic depravities were
discussed i.e. stinginess and dissemblance. If it is considered attentively then
reasons of these both worst depravities are:
·
Not having belief in Allah Almighty
·
And not having faith in the results of deeds (to
be faced in the Doomsday).
The person, who has perception that the wealth is
not mine but there is Someone Else Who gives it and He will take its account also
from me. How would he do covetousness about that wealth against the will of its
Giver (Allah Almighty)? And the person, who believes that Allah Almighty is
nearest to his/her jugular vein and He knows everything either that is hidden
or apparent, then how would he/she have courage of hypocrisy?
In these verses, Allah Almighty said to the
infidels that if they had believed in Him and the Last Day instead of
infidelity, and spent in the way of Allah Almighty escaping from avarice and in
order to be seen of men, then what (harm) would it have done them? Nevertheless,
there was entirely benefit for them in it. Loss is in the path, which they have
adopted now. Allah Almighty is ever Aware of all they do and knows very well their
intention of doing. They either will get reward or will be punished accordingly.
wa ‘anfaquu mimaa razaqa-humullaah – {and they spend (benevolently) of
that which Allah has bestowed upon them}. Using this sentence, they are being
told that Bestower is only Allah Almighty. Therefore, they should spend the wealth
according to the guidance, commands and orders of Allah Almighty, and do not
spend it in accord with their own will considering it themselves. Allah
Almighty does not waste anyone’s right even to the weight of an atom.
Miser and hypocrite should think that there is nothing
lacking in the treasures of Allah Almighty. It has come in the Sayings of Holy
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him)
that if the entire world asks Him for the wealth and all the people are
bestowed, even then there won’t be any decrement likewise drowning the needle
in the sea, and the water of sea decreases by the water remains in the eye of the
needle.
