Commentary
‘Aliim – (Knower), it
denotes that Allah Almighty knows the intentions of hearts and proclamation by
tongues of those persons who try and strive in His Path and who don’t.
Qarzan
Hasanah – (a goodly loan) the loan, after which neither the debtor would
be troubled, nor kindness would be shown, nor revenge would be taken and nor
the debtor would be despised. In broad terms, it signifies also, each that sum
which is spent in any respect of the religion. Here it aims the amount spent in
fighting for the sake of God Almighty (Jihad). The Arabs used to say
every act of good remuneration “a goodly loan” and every act of bad
remuneration “a bad loan”. Though, due to spending the wealth in Fighting (Jihad)
in the Way of Allah will be returned manifold more in the Hereafter, so this
act of spending is determined by Holy Qur’an as a goodly loan (Qarzan
Hasanah).
Fa-yuzaa-‘ifa-Huu – (so that He may give
it increase), it means ‘to increase the future reward and remuneration of this
deed’. Origin of this word is ‘Az-
Allah Almighty
explained by mentioning about a nation in the previous verse that control of
life and death is in His hand only. So, you shouldn’t turn away due to fear of
enemy. Now, it is being commanded clearly for fighting in the Way of Allah (Jihad)
that “Fight in the Path of Right Religion against its enemies”.
Arms and equipment,
tools and other things are required for war (Jihad). So, God Almighty
ordered those people, who have power to afford it that they should spend their
wealth wholeheartedly. Allah Almighty will return their sacrifice by increasing
it many times (manifold) in this world as well as on the Day of Resurrection.
They should never think that due to spending the money in the Way of God
Almighty, they will become poor.
