Punishment of the greedy

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 إِنَّٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَيْمَٰنِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَٰقَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْوَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 77

77.  Lo! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their oaths, they have no portion in the Hereafter and Allah will neither speak to them nor look upon them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow and theirs will be a painful doom.

77.  ‘Innallaziina  yash-ta-ruuna bi-‘ahDillaahi  wa  ‘aymaanihim  samanan-  qaliilan  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  laa  khalaaqa  lahum  fil-‘Aakhirati  wa  laa  yukallimu-humUllaahu  wa  laa  yanzuru  ‘ilayhim  Yaw-mal-Qiyaamati  wa  laa  yuzakkii-him  wa  lahum  ‘azaabun  ‘aliim.

Commentary

      

In these verses Allah Almighty has described His common Rule and the punishment which He has fixed for the covetous persons. That is to say, those persons who violate their oaths for worldly contemptible and a little wealth, and that they make witness to Allah Almighty for returning the deposit. They go against their promises, do neither keep their mutual matters correct and do nor remain firm on that covenant, which they made with Allah Almighty. Moreover, they change the Divine orders due to the avarice of rank and grandeur, and amend the Heavenly Scripture. Their end will be very bad.

1. They will not be given any share of good in the Hereafter

2. Allah Almighty will not talk to them on the Day of Resurrection.

3. Most High God will not look upon them with the Eye of Mercy on the Last Day.

4. Allah, Who is the Pure, will not make them grow and purify them from their sins. 

5. And for them there will be a painful doom.

The Jews had promised with God Almighty and they were sworn that they would be the helpers and supporters of the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). But they turned away from their covenant and the above mentioned punishment is for them. It is learnt from this lesson that any person who will embezzle in a thing or property committed to the trust and care of him, he goes away from the faithfulness. He breaks the trust, violates the oaths of Allah Almighty and commits against his covenant. Its result will be that, which have been explained above. It would be understood about him that he has acquired the fruit of his struggles in the form of casual and temporary worldly things in the world. He will be kept deprived of the benefits on the Doomsday. The biggest favor on that Day will be the talk of Allah Almighty with His servants. But He will not speak with him on the Day of Resurrection.
