Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِىمِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ لَهُۥ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ وَأَصَابَهُ ٱلْكِبَرُ وَلَهُۥ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَآءُ فَأَصَابَهَآ إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَٱحْتَرَقَتْ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِلَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ 266

266. Would any of you like to have a garden of
palm-trees and vines, with rivers flowing underneath it, with all kinds of
fruit for him therein; and old age hath sticken him and he hath feeble
offspring; and a fiery whirlwind stiketh it and it is (all)
consumed by fire. Thus Allah maketh His Revelations clear unto you, in order
that ye may give thought.

Commentary
Likeness of those
people has been described in this verse who spend their wealth as alms-giving;
either only to show the people, or after giving the alms they show kindness on
those persons and annoy them physically or spiritually.
The likeness of the
consumers is, as his total earning of his life, which is only a garden, which
is verdant, green and full of fruit. That garden is loaded with each type of
fruit. He, the owner of the garden reaches old age and cannot do work himself.
His children are still offspring, who instead of sharing their father’s
troubles and pains, are burden for him. At the nick of time, when the father is
very old and the children are dependents, suddenly he recognized that the
garden has caught fire; everything has been burnt and reduced to ashes. What would
be guess at that time about grief and affliction of the owner of the garden?
More than it, bad
condition will be of that un-lucky person, whose eyes remained closed during
his entire life due to negligence and carelessness, and opened first of all at
that time when the respite of acts had entirely ended. As though, the goodness
has caught fire due to his insincerity and his reward is ruined by chance, as
this garden caught fire and his owner afflicted. Allah Almighty mentions all
these likenesses, so that we should meditate in to them and taking it as
warning, do not destroy entire deeds at the end, which we have performed.
