God does not commit an atom's weight of injustice (L-543)
|
وَمَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَأَنفَقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمْ عَلِيمًا 39. إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَٰعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا 40. |

39. Wa maazaa ‘alay-him law ‘aamanuu Billaahi wal-Yawmil-‘Aakhiri wa ‘anfaquu mimmaa razaqa-humUllaah. Wa kaanAllaahu bihim ‘Aliimaa. 40.
‘InnAllaaha laa yazlimu misqaala zarrah. Wa
‘in- taku hasanatany- yuzaa-‘if-haa
wa yu’-ti milla-dunhu ‘ajran ‘azii-maa. |

39. What would they have lost, had they believed in God and the Last Day, and gave out of what God has provided for them? God knows them very well. 40. God does
not commit an atom's weight of injustice; and if there is a good deed, He
doubles it, and gives from His Presence a sublime compensation. |
Before these verses, two basic depravities regarding wealth and property were discussed i.e. stinginess and dissemblance. If it is considered thoughtfully, we can find reasons of these both worst depravities; which are:
1. Having not belief in God.
2. And putting not faith in the retaliation of deeds (to be faced in the Day of Resurrection).
The person, who has perception that the wealth is not mine but there is Someone Else Who gives it and He will take its account also from me. How would he do covetousness about that wealth against the will of its Giver (God)? And the person, who believes that God is nearest to his/her jugular vein and He knows everything whether that is hidden or apparent, then how would he/she have courage of hypocrisy?
In these verses, God said to the infidels that if they had believed in Him and the Last Day instead of infidelity, and spent in the way of escaping from avarice and in order to be seen of men, then what (harm) would it have done of them? Nevertheless, there was entirely benefit for them in it. Loss is in the path, which they have chosen now. God is ever Aware of all they do and knows very well their intention of doing. They either will get reward or will be punished accordingly.
Wa ‘anfaquu mimmaa razaqa-humUllaah – {and they spend (benevolently) of that which God has bestowed upon them}. By using this sentence, they are being informed that Bestower is only God. Therefore, they should spend the wealth according to the guidance, commandments and orders of God, and do not spend it in accordance with their own will considering it themselves. God does not waste anyone’s right even to the weight of an atom.
Miser and hypocrite should think that there is nothing deficient
in the treasures of God. It has come in the Sayings of Holy Messenger (ﷺ) that if the
entire world asks Him for the wealth and all the people are bestowed, even then
there won’t be any decrements likewise drowning the needle in the sea, and the
water of sea decreases by the water remains in the eye of the needle.
