Lesson
‘Al-khabiisu – (bad thing), it aims ‘rejected, inferior and
useless article)
Different orders have been delivered
regarding spending in the Way of Allah Almighty. It has been mentioned in the
previous verses that while spending for the Cause of Allah Almighty; it should
be avoided from showing and dissembling. Moreover, intent should not be also to
molest the people and to cause to boast one’s bigness. To whom the charity is
given, he should neither be placed under an obligation, nor to injure and
despair him. Rather the wealth should be spent only with good intent and purity
of heart for the Pleasure of God Almighty. There should not be any other
purpose except Will of Allah Almighty.
It has been told in this verse that agreeable
and of superior quality; things out of one’s lawful and pure earnings should be
given in the Path of Allah Almighty. That is to say; the remainder, stale, bad
smelling, spoiled and rotten things should not be given to the poor, needy and
miserable persons. However, it is fact that if any body gives you ever these
types of things, you will never accept them, you will turn up your nose, knit
the eyebrows, and declare abomination from it, save it is another matter that
you will keep quiet due to any particular reason and overlook from it. Therefore,
the bad things should never be given for the sake of God Almighty.
It is necessary that the best of all
wealth and the best of all things, which you love most, those should be spent fondly
in the Way of Allah Almighty. You will get more reward doing so. Allah Almighty
is very Absolute from our alms and charity. He does not need these
things absolutely. Nevertheless, with how much pleasure we shall spend, He will
give us so more.
