LESSON # 310 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Likeness of Spending With
In-sincerity
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –266 of
286, Section –36 (Part - 3)
|
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.

Lesson
Likeness of those persons has been
described in this verse who spend their wealth either as almsgiving 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 the 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 knows that the garden has caught fire,
every thing has burnt and reduced to ashes. What will be guess at that time
about grief and affliction of the owner of 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 in-sincerity
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 meditate in
to them and taking it as warning, do not destroy entire deeds at the end, which
we have done.
