Full Consequence Of Almsgiving

 

Full reward of Alms-giving (L-342) 

لَيسَ عَلَيكَ هُداهُم وَلٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهدي مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَما تُنفِقوا مِن خَيرٍ فَلِأَنفُسِكُم ۚ وَما تُنفِقونَ إِلَّا ابتِغاءَ وَجهِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَما تُنفِقوا مِن خَيرٍ يُوَفَّ إِلَيكُم وَأَنتُم لا تُظلَمونَ272.

272.  Laysa  ‘alayka  hudaa-hum  wa  laa-kinnAllaaha  yahdi  many- yashaaa’.  Wa  maa  tun-fiquu  minkhayrin-  fali- ‘anfu-sikum  wa  maa  tunfiquuna  ‘illab-tigaaa-‘a  wajHIllaah.  Wa  maa  tunfiquu  min  khayriny-yuwaffaa  ‘ilaykum  wa  ‘antum  laa  tuzla-muun.

272.  Their guidance is not your responsibility, but God guides whom He wills. Any charity you give is for your own good. Any charity you give shall be for the sake of God. Any charity you give will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.

Khayrin – (good thing), the word khayr is opposite to sharr (evil, wickedness, depravity).Every such thing is included in its comprehensive use, to which mankind supposes good, for instance; wisdom, morality, knowledge and wealth. The word khayrin has come at many places in Holy Qur’an for wealth. As though, Islam does not say that the wealth and property are bad and impure things. But It describes them as pleasant and good things. Therefore, It reminded them with the word khayrin. The evil is not in the wealth, but it is in its unlawful earning and unlawful spending.

Hudaahum – (The guiding of them), hidaa-yat, Haa-dii and muh-ta-dii are from the same origin. This word of Holy Qur’an is a perfect word, which means ‘to find guidance, to go straight forward and to keep its footing’ (these all three things are included in the word “guidance”). 

Yuwaffaa – (will be repaid in full), the origin of this word is “wafaa”, which means ‘to fill up, to complete, to make up, to carry out, to keep a promise, to reimburse’.

Once again, God proclaims in these verses that preaching is the duty of Prophet (ﷺ) and his followers. To direct with urgency and making the people Muslims, are not their responsibilities. Therefore, they should keep up their work without thinking concerning the consequence of preaching. It comes out also from this discussion that, it is not necessary that we spend only for those people, whom we think that they will embrace Islam due to our wealth. Nevertheless, our only purpose must be pleasure and will of God in alms-giving and charity, and the individual who is needy; we should make up his necessities. There should be no distinction between idolater, infidel, believer and hypocrite. Surely, you will get reward, because you spend your wealth only for God’s Will and Pleasure. God has promised that it will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.

We should bear in mind properly that which wealth we shall spend and give to someone, our aim should be to please God. Being separate from this way and relating it with any other name is unlawful. https://youtu.be/2dPT4IPJc_A
