Lesson
If Allah Almighty bestows any person excel
and superiority over you or other persons in any matter, and elevates him in
it, then you should not be ambitious of that. It is likewise too as to
interfere in someone’s life and wealth without grounds, which has been
determined unlawful as per previous verses. Besides it, such greediness
increases mutual jealousy and spite, and adversity of the Will and Wisdom of
Allah Almighty manifests from it also. Allah Almighty does not like these
entire subjects.
Purpose
of revelation of this verse is that some women came to see the Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and said, “O
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)! What
is the reason that Allah Almighty addresses the men in each matter and commands
them only, and He does not mention about the women anywhere, in addition, the
men are given double from the women out of inheritance of the dead? Those women
have been replied for their question in this verse that Allah Almighty has made the men excel the women due to a
specific skill. Therefore, they (the women) should not envy because of this
superiority of the men.
Allah Almighty commands that the portion from the
inheritance has been fixed for the women as well as the men, as some persons work
more, so they get remuneration more. Nothing is lessened from it. Allah
Almighty has bestowed the men a particular excellence, superiority and
magnificence upon the women in accord with His Knowledge. If the women envy on
it, then it will be an unreasonable desire.. However, if they get more reward
and prize
by doing good deeds, then it will be better. The person, who wishes more Bounty
of Allah Almighty, he/she should call for His Mercy by doing more and more good
deeds. He/she should not be seeker of the Bounty of Allah Almighty through envy
and malice. Allah Almighty has Knowledge of every thing. He Knows the right and
the place of everybody very well and deals them according to their
position.
