God is Well Acquainted with what you do (L-492)

وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ هُوَ خَيْرًا لَّهُم بَلْ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَّهُمْ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَابَخِلُوا۟ بِهِۦ  يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ.  180

180.  Wa  laa  yah-sabannal-laziina  yab-khaluuna  bimaaa  ‘aataa-  humUllaahu  min-  fazliHii  huwa  khay-rallahum.  Bal  huwa  sharrul-lahum.  Sayu-taw-waquuna  maa  bakhiluu  bihii Yawmal-Qiyaamah.  Wa  Lillaahi  miraasus-samaawaati  wal-‘arz.  WAllaahu  bimaa  ta’-maluuna  Khabiir. (Section 18/9)

180.  Those who withhold what God has given them of his bounty should not assume that is good for them. In fact, it is bad for them. They will be encircled by their hoardings on the Day of Resurrection. To God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth, and God is well acquainted with what you do.

Primary part of Surah ‘Aali ‘Imraan - explains about the circumstances of the People of the Scripture, (the Jews and the Christians). The event of the Battle of ‘Uhud had been described in the midst of these lessons for disclosing the condition of Hypocrites. Now from here, the mention about the People of the Scripture has begun again, because the Jews used to become cause of more harmful to the Muslims and most of the Hypocrites also belonged to this creed.

God commands that those Hypocrites out of the Jews, who escape from the expedition for Islam, they also shirk from spending their wealth in the Way of God. But as it is not in their favor to get rein for some days in the world due to evading from the religious war, in such a manner, hoarding by stinginess cannot be useful for them. On the Day of Resurrection, this treasure, which they have collected by hoarding, shall become their collars in the form of torment.

The Muslims have also been warned that they should not slip away from paying Zakaat (the poor-due) and other necessary expenditures in the path of religion. Otherwise, the person, who will adopt the custom of Hypocrites by hoarding, he also will be punished in the same manner. It has come in the Sayings of the Messenger (ﷺ), that the persons, who do not pay Zakaat, their treasures will be put in their collars like a frightful large serpent.

God has described a determined truth that, “God’s is the heritage of the heavens and the earth”. After death, you will leave everything in this world. Therefore, everything will remain in the possession of God. If any person spends for the cause (in the Way) of God, then yours will be a vast reward. God knows intentions and deeds of everybody. He recognizes that who is hoarder and who is generous. He will grant retaliation according to intensions and deeds. So, every person should spend with stout heart in the Path of God. https://youtu.be/-3o0iSo0kxE
