Lesson
Ma’-ruu-shaatin – (trellised), this word is plural
of ma’-ruu-shatah, which is (grammatically)
the passive participle effeminate and has been derived from the word ‘Arsh. ‘Arsh
means “to elevate, to uplift the creepers over wooden trellis as grapes plants
are uplifted over the wooden frames duly fenced in the form of roof. Gayra ma’-ruu-shaatin
are those creeping plants, which are not uplifted like the plants of melon,
water melon etc. which spread on the ground or those plants which have stems
(trees).
Hasaadun – collecting the fruit and grains
together in one place, when those ripen.
Haqqun – here it aims - that portion of
the production, which should be separated for the poor and needy people.
The manifest blessings and favor
of Allah Almighty have been mentioned in this verse. Every mankind can
understand them with a little attention and from them, he can recognize Allah
Almighty. Those people have been admonished in it, who reverence others leaving
Him and separate the portion of their (idols and gods) names from their fruit,
grains and food, whereas neither those liar gods and idols did produce anything
and nor they can do so. They have forgotten Allah Almighty, Who created
everything from the earth for human beings.
It is commanded: If you wish to
know Allah Almighty, in that case; you should see the gardens around you, in
which creeping plants of the grapes have been uplifted over high wooden frames like
a roof and the clusters of grapes have been hanging into them. Observe those
creepers, which have been spreading on the ground themselves. Look at the trees
of date-palms and crops, in which different kinds of fruit and grains are produced.
Behold the plants of olive and pomegranate, which are alike and unlike in shape
and taste from one another. Different in taste - as sweet, insipid, citrus,
non-citrus, sour and sour-sweet eatable things are produced by Allah Almighty.
Eat these things fondly, when these are ready after ripening. Moreover, keep
the portion from these things separate for the poor and needy on the day of
cutting and picking the grain and fruit, but bear it in mind that needless,
nothing is destroyed. Allah Almighty does not like the prodigals and those who
cross the limits.
