Spend In The Path Of God! (L-324)
|
يا
أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَنفِقوا مِمّا رَزَقناكُم مِن قَبلِ أَن يَأتِيَ
يَومٌ لا بَيعٌ فيهِ وَلا خُلَّةٌ وَلا شَفاعَةٌ ۗ وَالكافِرونَ هُمُ
الظّالِمونَ254. |

254. Yaaa-‘ayyuhallaziina ‘aa-manuuu
‘anfiquu mimmaa razaqNaakum-min- qabli ‘any-ya’-tiya
Yawmul-laa bay-‘un- fiihi wa laa
khullatunw-wa laa shafaa-‘ah. Wal-kaafiruuna
humuz-zaalimuun. |

254. O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you,
before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor
intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. |
RazaqNaakum – (We have provided you), here, bringing Himself (God) as first person plural, God declared, “wealth and property, livelihood and prosperity, whichever exists with the people, that entire is given by Him and actually He has the Right to command for spending the wealth and property for the works He desires to be performed.
Yawmun – (a Day), here, Yawmun means the Doomsday, the Day of Resurrection. It signifies that a chance to spend the wealth for good works and collect the goodness is only in this world. After death, when the Doomsday will reach, then there will be no chance for any deed.
God has commanded many times regarding worships and affairs in this chapter (Surah). The most difficult work in these entire acts is to sacrifice one’s life and wealth. So, it has been commanded about these works over and over. Love of these two things carries the human being towards the sin/evil.
God warned concerning the importance of Jihad (to try and strive) after telling the story of Prophet Saul (Peace be upon him) and his enemy Goliath, and ordered the people to sacrifice their lives in the Way of God according to the commands of His Messenger (ﷺ). Wealth and riches are required for purchasing the war equipment. Therefore, God emphasized to spend the wealth and property along with the command for Jihad, and declared, “O Believers! We are Giver of everything to all. You must not be confused for it that due to spending for good works, you will become poor, or you will not be able to save something for future.
Moreover, you should bear it in your mind that there is nothing of your own. It is only Our Giving. It must not be so; that you continue to collect the wealth and property due to its love; and the days of grace come to an end, because it will neither be possible at that time to purchase any goodness against this money or wealth from anywhere, nor you would be released from the punishment of sin or evil, nor intercession of any other would be fruitful on the Day of Resurrection and nor any friendship or relationship will be useful. In this world, an individual can reap advantage either by means of bribe or friendship and relationship or intercession, but on the Doomsday only personal deeds will be useful.
