LESSON # 309 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Another Likeness of Spending In
Allah’s Way
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –265 of
286, Section –36 (Part - 3)
And the likeness of those who spend their wealth in search of
Allah’s pleasure, and for the strengthening of their souls, is as the
likeness of a garden on a height. The rainstorm smiteth it and it bringeth
forth its fruit twofold. And if the rainstorm smite it not, then a shower
would be enough. And Allah is Seer of what ye do.

Lesson
God Almighty has mentioned in this
verse about those people who spend their wealth only for the purpose that Allah
Almighty may be pleased, they may get His consent and they may prove their
obedience.
Allah Almighty illustrated the
likeness of those persons with the garden, which is situated on a height; air
of that place is naturally witty and productive. The rainstorm smites
it and this garden brings forth its fruit twofold. Moreover, if the rainstorm does
not smite it, and drops only a shower, then only that shower would be enough,
even then it will bring some fruit.
Here likeness of rainstorm has been given as spending the wealth
and the purpose to tell the garden on height is that his intention is entirely
correct. He spends only for the Will of Allah Almighty. Therefore, if he spends
his wealth very much, then its result will also be as good as the rainstorm
smites the garden and it brings fruit twofold. In the form of clear intention
if he spends a little, even then, he will get reward equally as due to only
drizzle the garden certainly brings also some fruit.
Another reality has been described here that as the humankind
inclines from badness to evil, like this, he turns with good action toward
goodness and naturally, he remains steady on goodness.
Fortunate are those persons who advance toward the goodness and
abstain from the badness.
We should never forget it that the
huge sacrifice of spending the wealth is wasted due to concept of in-sincerity,
showing kindness and putting someone in trouble.
On the other hand a little Almsgiving
brings much fruitful on the condition that purpose of it is required only to do
one’s duty and pleasure of Allah Almighty.
