Avaricious Will Be Punished

 

A painful doom for the greedy (L-406) 

إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَشتَرونَ بِعَهدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيمانِهِم ثَمَنًا قَليلًا أُولٰئِكَ لا خَلاقَ لَهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ وَلا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلا يَنظُرُ إِلَيهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ وَلا يُزَكّيهِم وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ77.

77.  ‘Innallaziina  yash-ta-ruuna bi-‘ahDillaahi  wa  ‘aymaanihim  samanan-  qaliilan  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  laa  khalaaqa  lahum  fil-‘Aakhirati  wa  laa  yukallimu-humUllaahu  wa  laa  yanzuru  ‘ilayhim  Yaw-mal-Qiyaamati  wa  laa  yuzakkii-him  wa  lahum  ‘azaabun  ‘aliim.

77.  Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.

In these verses God has described His common Rule and the punishment which He has fixed for the covetous persons. That is to say, those persons who violate their oaths for worldly contemptible and a little wealth, and that they make witness to God for returning the deposit. They go against their promises, do neither keep their mutual matters correct and nor remain firm on that covenant, which they made with God. Moreover, they change the Divine Orders due to the avarice of rank and grandeur, and amend the Heavenly Scripture. Their end will be very bad.

1.   They will not be given any share of good in the Hereafter.

2.   God will not talk to them on the Day of Resurrection.

3.   Most High God will not look upon them with the Eye of Mercy on the Last Day.

4.   God, Who is the Pure, will neither make them grow and nor purify them from their sins. 

5.   And for them there will be a painful doom.

The Jews had promised with God and they were sworn that they would be helpers and supporters of the last Prophet (ﷺ). But they turned away from their covenant and the above mentioned punishment is for them. It is learnt from this lesson that any person who will embezzle in a thing or property committed to the trust and care of him, he goes away from the faithfulness. He breaks the trust, violates the oaths of God and commits against his covenant. Its result will be that, which have been explained above. It would be understood about him that he has acquired the fruit of his struggles in the form of casual and temporary worldly things in the world. He will be kept deprived of the benefits on the Doomsday. The biggest favor on that Day will be the talk of God with His servants. But He will not speak with him on the Day of Resurrection.
