فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۗ وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ ۖ قُلْ
إِصْلَاحٌ لَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَإِن تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ
يَعْلَمُ ٱلْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَعْنَتَكُمْ ۚ
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

And if ye mingle your affairs with theirs, then (they are) your
brothers. And Allah knoweth him who spoileth from him who improveth. And had
Allah willed He would have overburdened you. Surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.

Commentary
We have recited the
question of the Companions (Sahaabah) (may Allah be pleased with them)
concerning orphans. In reply; Allah Almighty commanded with complete detail
that improving the lot of orphans is best in reward and remuneration. Their
position is like your brothers. Then formality with them is of what sort? The
purpose is to improve the lot and correction of the orphans’ wealth and
property, so one should do as he seems better. If any individual thinks that
there is some more advantage in separating their accounts, then he should do
so. But if he considers that the orphan will remain in gain due to mutual
business, then nothing is wrong with it also. After all, they are your
religious brothers.
The orphans are
considered as extremely despised and humiliated in the old cultures and besides
this among several existing nations, but Islam has explained by saying them ‘ikh-waanukum (your
brothers) that there is no difference between you and them being a mankind.
They should be dear to you as your own brothers are dear to you. They have the
right to improve themselves. None should stand in their way. Moreover, they
should be helped to achieve their goals as one brother helps the other. So you
should keep in view their correction and betterment in each condition, and for
it; you can adopt any method which you like. God Almighty knows the secrets of
everybody’s heart and understands that who spoils and who improves.
After it, God Almighty
commanded also that if Allah Almighty wished, a strict order might be given
too, which you had to do, because He is Mighty, Wise. But He did not do so
because He understands the convenience of every Command. He doesn’t order which
may be difficult and heavy.
