Commentary
RazaqNaakum – (We have
provided you), here, bringing Himself (God Almighty) as first person plural,
Allah Almighty declared, “wealth and property, livelihood and prosperity,
whichever exists with the people, that entire is given by Him and actually He
has the Right to command for spending the wealth and property for the works He
desires to be performed.
Yawmun – (a Day), here, Yawmun means
the Doomsday, the Day of Resurrection. It signifies that a chance to spend the
wealth for good works and collect the goodness is only in this world. After
death, when the Doomsday will reach, then there will be no chance for any deed.
Allah Almighty has commanded many times regarding
worships and affairs in this chapter (Surah). The most difficult work in
these entire acts is to sacrifice one’s life and wealth. So, it has been
commanded about these works over and over. Love of these two things carries the
human being towards the sin/evil.
God Almighty warned about the importance
of Jihad (to try and strive) after telling the story of
Prophet Saul (peace be upon him) and his enemy Goliath, and ordered the people
to sacrifice their lives in the way of Allah Almighty according to the commands
of the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him). Wealth and riches are required for purchasing the war equipment.
Therefore, Allah Almighty emphasized to spend the wealth and property along
with the command for Jihad, and declared, “O Believers! We are
Giver everything to all. You should not be confused for it that due to spending
for good works, you will become poor, or you will not be able to save something
for future.
Moreover, you should bear it in your mind that
there is nothing of your own. It is only Our Giving. It should not be so; that
you continue to collect the wealth and property due to its love and the days of
grace come to an end, because it will neither be possible at that time to
purchase any goodness against this money or wealth from anywhere, nor you would
be released from the punishment of sin or evil, nor intercession of any
individual would be fruitful on the Day of Resurrection and nor any friendship
or relationship will be useful. In this world, an individual can reap advantage
either by means of bribe or friendship/relationship or intercession, but on the
Doomsday only personal deeds will be useful.
