Spend The Good Things Out Of Earnings

 

Good things must be spent for the Cause of God (L-339) 

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَنفِقوا مِن طَيِّباتِ ما كَسَبتُم وَمِمّا أَخرَجنا لَكُم مِنَ الأَرضِ ۖ وَلا تَيَمَّمُوا الخَبيثَ مِنهُ تُنفِقونَ وَلَستُم بِآخِذيهِ إِلّا أَن تُغمِضوا فيهِ ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَميدٌ267.

267.  Yaaa- ‘ayyu-hallaziina  ‘aa-manuuu ‘anfiquu  min-  tayyibaati  maa  kasabtum  wa  mimmaaa  ‘akhrajnaa  lakum-minal- ‘arz.  Wa  laa  ta-yamma-mul-khabiisa  minhu  tunfiquuna  wa  lastum- bi-‘aakhiziihi  ‘illaaa  ‘an  tug-mizuu  fiih.  Wa’-la-muuu  ‘annAllaaha  Ganiy-yun  Hamiid.

267.  O you who believe! Give of the good things you have earned, and from what We have produced for you from the earth. And do not pick the inferior things to give away, when you yourselves would not accept it except with eyes closed. And know that God is Sufficient and Praiseworthy.

Different commandments have been conveyed regarding spending in the Way of God. It has been described in the previous verses that whenever you spend for the Cause of God; it should be avoided from showing and dissembling. Moreover, personal intent must not be 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 injured and nor you should despair him. Rather the wealth should be spent only with good intent and purity of heart for the Pleasure of God. There should not be any other purpose except the Will of God.  

It has been explained in this verse that acceptable and of superior quality; things out of one’s lawful and pure earnings must be given in the Path of God. That is to say; the remainder, stale, bad smelling, spoiled or rotten things should not be given to the poor, needy and miserable people. It is fact that if someone gives you any time 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.

It is necessary that the best of all wealth and the best of all things, which you love most, must be spent fondly in the Way of God. You will get more reward doing so. God is 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. https://youtu.be/L8z7j5F3Ehs
