Load of the wealth

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

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

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

  فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ 55

 وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌيَفْرَقُونَ 56  

لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَـًٔا أَوْ مَغَٰرَٰتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْا۟ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ 57

55.  So let not their riches nor their children marvel thee (O Muhammad). Allah thereby intendeth but to punish them in the life of the world and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers. 56.  And they swear by Allah that they are in truth of you, when they are not of you, but they are folk who are afraid. 57.  Had they but found a refuge, or caverns, or a place to enter, they sure had resorted thither swift as runaways.

55.  Falaa  tu’-jibka  ‘amwaalu-hum  wa  laa  ‘awlaa-duhum.  ‘Innamaa  yurii-dUllaahu  liyu-‘azzibahum-  bihaa  fil-hayaatid-dunyaa  wa  taz-haqa  ‘anfu-suhum  wa  hum  kaafiruun. 56.  Wa  yahli-fuuna  BIllaahi  ‘innahum  laminkum.  Wa  maa  hum-minkum  wa  laa-kinna-hum  qawmuny-yafraquun.  57.  Law  yaji-duuna  malja-‘an-  ‘aw  magaaraatin  ‘aw  mudda-khalal-la-wallaw  ‘ilayhi  wa  hum  yajma-huun.

Commentary

Taz-haqa – (pass away), the origin of this word is zahaqun. Zahaqun means – effacement, to be wrong, to walk away by leaving any place

Yafraquun – (they are afraid), it has come out from the word farq. Farq means – difference and fear. Here it has been used in the meaning of “fear”.

Mudda-khalan – (a place to enter), it is an adverb of place; origin of it is ‘ad-khaal, which has been made from dakhala. Dakhala means – to enter, to penetrate in.  

Yajma-huun – (swift as runaways), this word has been derived from jam-hun. Jam-hun means – to rebel, to escape by breaking all barriers, to commit insurrection.

It is commanded that lots of money, stout and active children of these Godless Hypocrites are embarrassment for them, being entangled in which, they bear different kinds of tortures and troubles. Like this, they also tell a lie that they are companions of Yours. If they find any little shelter anywhere today, then they will escape by breaking all barriers.

Valuelessness of the wealth

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

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

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  قُلْ أَنفِقُوا۟طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ 53  

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَٰتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمْكَٰرِهُونَ 54  

53.  Say: Pay (your contribution), willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted from you. Lo! ye are froward folk. 54.  And naught preventeth that their contributions should be accepted from them save that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger, and they come not to worship save as idlers, and pay not (their contribution) save reluctantly.

53.  Qul  ‘anfiquu  taw-‘an  ‘aw  karhal-lany-yuta-qabbala  minkum  ‘inna-kum  kuntum  qaw-man-  faasi-qiin. 54.  Wa  maa  mana-‘ahum  ‘an-tuqbala  minhum  nafaqaa-tuhum  ‘illaa  ‘annahum  kafaruu  BIllaahi  wa  bi-RasuuliHii  wa  laa   ya’-tuunas-Salaata  ‘illaa  wa  hum  kusaalaa  wa  laa-  yunfiquuna  ‘illaa  wa  hum  kaarihuun.

Commentary

Nafaqaatu – (contributions), it is plural of nafaqatun. Which money is spent by a man, is called nafaqah, whether that is spent to fulfill own necessities or in the works of welfare and rehabilitation for the common people. This word was discussed in Surah ‘Al-Baqarah. Here it aims “alms, offerings and contribution”.   

Kusaalaa – (the idlers), this word is plural of kaslaan which has been derived from kasal. Kasal means idleness, sloth, to shirk from work. Kasalaan is an adjective from the same.

It is commanded that God Almighty is not indigent of your wealth. Keep your wealth. State of your intentions is obvious. Afterwards, your contribution for the help of Muslims will not be accepted, whether you give it happily or under compulsion. While you have disobeyed God Almighty, did not care about the Sayings of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), offered prayer to show; in weary condition and with difficulty, and paid contribution with reluctant heart, then you have not been able that your contribution for the help of Muslims are accepted. We don’t need your wealth. Allah Almighty observes the condition of the hearts. While your hearts are insincere, then it is useless to spend the wealth. There is no reward for it.

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

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

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

  قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَآ إِلَّآ إِحْدَى ٱلْحُسْنَيَيْنِ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَن يُصِيبَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِۦٓ أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَا فَتَرَبَّصُوٓا۟ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ 52

52.  Say: Do ye await for us aught save one of two good things (death or victory in Allah’s Way)? While we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a doom from Him or at our hands. So await then! Lo! We too are awaiting with you.

52.  Qul  hal  tarabba-suuna  binaaa  ‘illaaa  ‘ihdal-husna-yayn.  Wa  nahnu  nata-rabbasu  bikum  ‘any-yusiiba-kumUllaahu  bi-‘azaabim-min  ‘indi-hiii  ‘aw  bi-‘aydiinaa.  Fa-tarab-basuuu  ‘innaa  ma-‘akum-muta-rabbisuun.

Commentary

Tarabba-suuna – (you await), the origin of this word is tarabbasun, which has been derived from the word rab-sun. Rab-sun means “to await for someone’s goodness or badness”. Tarabba-sun has the equal meaning of it.

‘Al-husna-yayni – (two good things), this word is plural of ‘al-husnaa, which is ‘af-‘alul-taf-ziil from has-nun, and feminine of ‘ah-sanu, that is to say; the best thing.

The Hypocrites used to await always that the Muslims should be defeated and afflicted. Answer to their thinking has been given in the previous verse that the Muslims neither care for the afflictions of the world and nor they run behind pleasures. Their only duty is to obey the Commands of God Almighty. Every individual suffers from afflictions a few or more in the world. The Muslims consider it prescribed fate from Allah Almighty. According to that fate, sometimes the mankind will enjoy and sometimes will suffer from afflictions.

It is commanded that “you can think about us for two things – victory or defeat. Both are good for us. If we got victory; then we would be heroes, we shall possess the spoils of war and get title of ‘obedient servants of God Almighty’. If we are defeated, we would be martyrs, and for the martyrs; there are ready two blessings on the Day of Resurrection – which cannot be thought by any human being in this world. You are disobedient servants of Allah Almighty. Certainly, you will be punished for it. Or you will suffer from any big affliction. Or you will be destroyed and ruined by our hands”.

The world has observed that at last; the Muslims succeeded and got prosperity, whereas the Infidels, Idolaters and Hypocrites were defeated, wretched and disgraced. It all was the Result of acting upon the Commands of Holy Qur’aan and Instructions of God’s last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). When they gave up these both things, then the Muslims did not remain Muslims in actual meanings, and the fate of unbelievers was opened.

51.  Say: Naught befalleth us save that which Allah hath decreed for us. He is our Protecting Friend. And in Allah let Believers put their trust!

51.  Qul-lany-yusii-banaa  ‘illaa  maa  katabAllaahu  lanaa.  Huwa  Maw-laanaa.  Wa  ‘alAllaahi  fal-yata-wakkalil-Mu’-minuun.

Commentary

It is extremely foolishness of a mankind if he is happy with the problems of others and begins to sing with joy; finding himself saved from that problem, and sings the melody of the goodness of his planning a scheme. A misconception is seated in the heart under this behavior i.e. a mankind brings problems on himself due to his own ignorance, and whoever is saved from the problems; he takes precaution in advance by his own forethought.

If it be considered thoughtfully, this conception prevents the mankind from the works of very boldness and courage. And ultimately, because of being careful, from which problems he was desirous to be saved, he suffers from more serious problems than those; due to being excessive careful and cowardice.

Holy Qur’aan does not give more importance to the worldly comfort and relief. It declares: Be ready to obey the Commands of God Almighty. Comfort and relief of this world are temporary things. Like this, calamity and toil during stay here is not timorous. Every human being enjoys and suffers comfort and calamity in any form during the life of this world. In both forms he should incline towards Allah Almighty and obeying His Command must be determined as his actual aim.

In this verse, such formula has been told to the Muslims, due to which they begin to take the calamities of the world nothing. And they begin to do such work, in which neither they care about any comfort and nor any calamity.

It is commanded: Say (to these Hypocrites): Which comfort and calamity have to come, will certainly come; according to the Command of God Almighty. We should fix imagination in our hearts higher than these both things, so that their impression may not prevent us from useful matters. That is; Allah Almighty is our Protecting Friend and Guard. Whatever He will give us, in that certainly, there shall be something better for us.

Therefore, it is the magnificence of a Believer that he gives his all matters in the charge of God Almighty and engages himself in His obedience for sacrificing everything (his wealth, body and soul etc.). He trusts in Allah Almighty, which means that he puts his entire powers and strength for carrying out the Commands of his Lord. And the calamities do not make him mean-spirited, because he believes that God Almighty will help him.

Foes in the form of friends

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

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

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

إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُوا۟ قَدْ أَخَذْنَآ أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوا۟ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ 50

50.  If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth them, and if calamity befalleth thee, they say: We took precaution, and they turn away well pleased.

50.  ‘In-  tusibka  hasanatun-  tasu’-hum. Wa  ‘in-  tusibka  musiibatuny-yaquuluu  qad  ‘akhaz-naaa  ‘amranaa  min-qablu  wa  yata-wallaw-wa  hum  farihuun.

Commentary

Hasanatun – (good, pleasure), the word hasanah is a noun from h-s-n; it means every such thing which pleases the heart. Here it aims “success against enemies”. Just like this, calamity (musiibat) means “to be martyred, injured or defeated”.

‘Akhaz-naa – (were conscious or cautious), it is past tense from the word ‘akhaz. ‘Akhaz means “to hold fast, to bring into one’s grasp”. Here it aims “to be saved from loss or damage by prudence”.

Behavior of the Hypocrites of Madinah is being narrated. They were dwelling in Madinah but their fellow-feeling sympathies were with the inhabitants of Makkah and they were envious of observing the elevation of Muslims. Some mention about it has passed in previous Chapters. They were unable to vitiate their relations openly with the Muslims. It was the reason that they lived all together apparently, but secretly they had their loins grit for enmity. They used to remain always in such intention that “how the Muslims can suffer loss”. Their common behavior with the Muslims has been described in this verse.

It is commanded that these people are such always that whenever the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Muslims get success and victory, their faces grow pale and they become very sad. But if any time, the Muslims are hurt, many of them are martyred or injured, then they celebrate and say: We had already taken precaution; so that we suffer no injury. We had known in advance that the Muslims will be defeated. They cannot win. What happened if by chance, they got victory any time? How long the mother-goat will celebrate? Finally one day, that will be; which is required to be. They brag similarly, go to their houses leaving assemblies and try to hide their pleasure but that is manifest on their faces.

The Hypocrites are as “A wolf in the garb of a lamb” for the nation. There is no big danger for safety and peace from anything but them. By sending down the Revelation, Allah Almighty has betrayed their secret; otherwise, there is none who may say to them any word about it.
