The Root of hypocrisy is stinginess

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)

 

  وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَٰهَدَ ٱللَّهَ لَئِنْ ءَاتَىٰنَا مِن فَضْلِهِۦ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 75

 

    فَلَمَّآءَاتَىٰهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦ بَخِلُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ 76 

 

فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ بِمَآ أَخْلَفُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَ 77  

 

75.  And among them are some who made a covenant with Allah (saying): If He give us of His Bounty we will give alms and become of the righteous.   76.  Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly and they turned back, and they were backsliders indeed.   77.  So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, till the Day, whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke their covenant with God, and because they lied.

75.  Wa  minhum-man  ‘aaha-dAllaaha  la-‘in  ‘aataanaa  min  fazliHii  lanas-sadda-qanna  wa  lanakuu-nanna  minas-Saalihiin.   76.  Falammaaa  ‘aataa-hummin-  fazliHii  bakhiluu  bihii  wa  ta-wallaw-wa  hum-mu’-rizuun.    77.  Fa-‘a’-qabahum  nifaaqan-  fii  quluubihim  ‘ilaa  yawmi  yal-qaw-naHuu  bimaaa  ‘akhla-fUllaaha  maa  wa-‘aduuhu  wa  bimaa kaanuu  yakzibuun.

 

Commentary

 

‘A’-qaba – (brought back), it is past tense, origin of which is ‘a’-qaab, which has been derived from ‘aqab. ‘Aqab means “behind, back etc. ‘A’-qaab means “to produce another thing after the first”.

 

A man named Tha’-lbah bin Hatib requested to the Messenger of God Almighty(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam): Ask from God Almighty earnestly that He give me of His Bounty in abundance, so that I give alms more than enough from it.

 

The Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) commanded him: Spend for good works from that which Allah Almighty has given you already. There is no need to do more.

 

But he persisted. Then God’s Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) prayed for him and he was blessed with wealth and property; so much that he colonized a separate dwelling for himself out from the village. And falling under congregations and Fridays (prayers) was given up by him. When collectors of the poor-due (Zakaat) were sent by the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) for collection, he evaded by feigning.

 

It is commanded: Some people are those who make covenant in the beginning that: If we are given much wealth, then we shall give alms. But as soon as they receive a Bounty, close down their fist. Its consequence is that God Almighty creates hypocrisy in their hearts. Breach of covenant and making a lie affects.

 

It has been mentioned about that person who afterwards; came being afraid; for paying the poor-due, but Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) did not accept it, and said: We are not needy of your Zakaat.

 

After the departure of the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), Abu Bakr Siddique, Umar Farooq and Uthman Ghani (all three Companions – May Allah be pleased with them) did not accept his Zakaat. At last, during the Deputy-ship of Uthman Ghani (May Allah be pleased with him) he died.

Punishment of thanklessness

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)

وَمَا نَقَمُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ أَنْ أَغْنَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ فَإِن يَتُوبُوا۟ يَكُ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَإِنيَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ 74b

74b.  And they sought revenge only because Allah as well as His Messenger had enriched them of His Bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they will have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.

74b.  Wa  maa  naqamuuu  ‘illaaa  ‘an  ‘agnaahu-mUllaahu  wa  RasuuluHuu  min-  fazliH.  Fa-‘iny-yatuu-buu  yaku  khay-rAllaahum.  Wa  ‘inyyata-wal-law  yu-‘azzibhu-mUllaahu  ‘azaaban  ‘aliiman,  fiddunyaa  wal-‘Aakhirah.  Wa  maa  lahum  fil-‘arzi  minw-waliy-yinw-wa  laa  nasiir.

Commentary

It was commanded in the previous verse that these open and hidden enemies should not be relaxed, they must be threatened at every occasion, because their manners are not as such that they are permitted to do whatever they wish; or any favor is shown for them.

After that, their some devilish actions were disclosed that they falsify Islam abundantly before the common people, but when such news reach the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), they come running and say by swearing: We have never spoken like this.

Beyond this, when they heard that the Muslims have been coming back from (the Battle of) Tabuuk, they planned to blockade them in a hilly path by hiding their faces with shields; so that they may not be known, and assaulted suddenly on the Muslims, with the intention that; if possible; they should kill the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) (God forbid) and finish all this story.

But those wretched people were defeated worse; and the devoted Companions (May God be pleased with them) of the Messenger fought against them bravely and compelled them to run away. Though they could not recognize them that who they were. Now its supplement is being described.

It is commanded that with the Grace of God Almighty and fortune of His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), their condition has been justified than ever. They have been enriched by Their kindness and dwell in peace and safety under the shadow of Islam. In return, these ungrateful people molest the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and the Muslims as much as they can.

In such circumstances, these inflexible people do not deserve any relaxation. They would have to know the Value of Safety and Peace. If they abstain from their obstinacy; then it is good, otherwise, they will be punished in the world and the Hereafter so much severely that they will be crying out, but they will have neither any protecting friend and nor any helper in the earth.

Necessity of Jihad

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

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

  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ جَٰهِدِ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَٱلْمَصِيرُ 73

73.  O Prophet! Strive against the Disbelievers and the Hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is Hell, a hapless journey’s end. 74a.  They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve, after their Surrender (to Allah); and they purposed that which they could not attain.

73.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhan-Nabiyyu  jaahidil-Kuffaara  wal-Munaa-fiqiina  wag-luz-‘alayhim.  Wa  ma’-waahum  Jahannam.  Wa  bi’-sal-  masiir. 74a.  Yahli-fuuna  Billaahi  maa  qaaluu.  Wa  laqad  qaaluu  kalimatal-kufri  wa  kafaruu  ba’-da  Islaa-mihim  wa  hammuu  bi-maa  lam  yanaaluu.

Commentary

Jaahid – (Oppose, Strive against), it is a word of command from the word Jihad. Meanings of Jihad have already been explained in the past (to try and strive). It has been commanded in this verse that you should strive against the Disbelievers and the Hypocrites.

To strive against someone is a particular form of common Jihad, that is to say; trying best for the purpose that the opponent should refrain, all at once or consequently, from those actions and deeds which are hazardous for the humanity.

In this verse, it is commanded that you should deal the Disbelievers and the Hypocrites hard, that is to say; you should not compromise with them, but be harsh.

In Islam, atmosphere of mutual friendship and politeness surrounds all around. In it, every individual is a standard-bearer of bilateral forgiveness and hospitality. And Messenger of God Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) desired to establish this environment in the Arabian territory and through the Arabs, in the entire world by means of His Commands and Behavior.

But many crooked people of the Arab did not let this system establish in the beginning and opposed. Even that the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was instructed by means of the Revelation that there is a need of predominance on stubborn people by influence and fighting.

Therefore, it is commanded that these obstinate Disbelievers, who are open enemies of Islam, will not accept in this manner. They become more courageous for committing mischief due to more loosening. Be harsh with them from all around, so that they remain influenced.

And the Hypocrites do not fight openly, so there is no change of war against them. But prove with your behavior that they are the worst stubborn people. Their punishment is the Fire of the Hell on the Day of Resurrection, which is the end of a hapless journey and which is a very bad abode.

Reward for the Believers

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)

  وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِنتَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَمَسَٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍ وَرِضْوَٰنٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ 72  

72.  Allah promiseth to the believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever - blessed dwellings in Gardens of Eden. And – greater (far)! – acceptance from Allah. That is supreme triumph.

72.  Wa-‘adAllaahul-Mu’-miniina  wal-Mu’-minaati  Jannaatin-  tajrii  min  tahti-hal-‘anhaaru  khaali-diina  fiihaa  wa  masaa-kina  tayyi-baatan-  fii  jannaati  ‘Adn.  Wa  Riz-waanummi-nAllaahi  ‘akbar.  Zaalika  huwal-faw-zul-‘aziim.

Commentary

‘Adnin – (dwelling place, abode), Eden is the place, house, lodging or room, which is someone’s own permanent abode or residence, not any hotel, inn or temporary staying or dwelling place. A mankind feels pleasure at such time when the place of rest and ease is; of one’s own. Otherwise, none can get comfort or pleasure for ever in hotels and inns.

It is commanded that the true Believers of God Almighty (men and women) have determined strongly that they will dwell in the world according to the Commands of Allah Almighty and Sayings of His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), and made up their minds that they will never commit any such work, which is not allowed in accordance with the Divine’s Law.

They have intended: We shall help one another mutually in good works, enjoin the right, forbid the wrong, establish the worship of Allah Almighty timely and according to prescribed manners, pay regularly the poor-due (Zakaat) for supporting the poor and needy people, and we shall remain ready every time to sacrifice our wealth and lives to abide by the Commands of God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).

It is obvious that for acting upon this program, they would have to give up many worldly amusements, recreations and long runs, from which there is no good result but only waste of time. Moreover, those are so much attractive things that many people of good sense are allured.

Remuneration for Believers against all these things will be that they will be provided luxuriant, shady and fresh-blooming Gardens for ever, which will never be ceased from them, and in those Gardens, there will be permanent abode for them, not temporarily. For their dwelling, there will be clean and neat rooms and palaces, and the biggest prize for them will be that Allah Almighty will assure them: I am pleased with you and I am happy.

There is no prosperity and success above this. And it is the remuneration of believing without wrangling and get ready in all sorts for obeying the Commands of God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), which is easy to say but performing is as much difficult that there is no difficult work in the world than it, if the heart is not truly fond of it.

Peculiarities of the Believers

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)

  وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَبِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ 71

71.  And the Believers, men and women, are protecting friends one of another. They enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey Allah and His Messenger. As for these, Allah will have mercy on them. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.

71.  Wal-Mu’-minuuna  wal-Mu’-minaatu  ba’-zuhum  ‘awli-yaaa-‘u  ba’-z.  Ya’-muruuna  bil-ma’-ruufi  wa  yanhawna  ‘anil-munkari  wa  yuqii-muu-nas-Salaata  wa  yu’-tuunaz-Zakaata  wa  yutii-‘uunAllaaha  wa  Rasuulah.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  sayar-hamuhu-mUllaah.  ‘InnAllaaha  ‘Aziizun  Hakiim.

Commentary

Characteristics of the Hypocrites and fixed punishments for them were explained, so now, on the contrary to them, the characteristics of the Believers and the distinguishing gifts for them are being described.

It is commanded that the Believers, whether they are men or women, they all have a particular characteristic mutually that they are protecting friends, condolatory and supporters one of another. They enjoin for those works, which are beneficial for the entire mankind, but forbid from those works, which lead the human beings unto the disasters. They remember God Almighty every time. And for God’s remembrance, they establish congregational prayer. They are not niggards; but pay the prescribed portion of their wealth as poor-due for the help of the needy and indigent people. They neither rebel, nor transgress and nor disobey, but bow their heads before the commands of God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).

In short, every habit of the Believers is opposite to the Hypocrites. Therefore, certainly their consequence will also be totally opposite to them. God Almighty cursed the Hypocrites, whereas He will be Merciful on the Believers. Allah Almighty is Omnipotent and He will requite every individual according to personal (good or evil) deeds.

The Hypocrites were warned that they might not be saved from the wrath of God Almighty, because they know the consequence of the people like them have passed away before them. Therefore, they should learn from their circumstances. At the end, the Believers have been informed: You will be rewarded surely for that lifestyle which you adopted during your life time. In addition, the biggest reward for you will be that God Almighty will be content from you. And you will be away from His wrath and curse for ever.
