Lesson
Nafa-qatan – (any spending), this word was discussed in
Chapter two (Surah ‘Al-Baqarah). Yunfi-quuna
has been made from the same, origin of which is ‘anfaaq. ‘Anfaaq
means “to spend anything.
Yaqta-‘uuna – (they cross over, they travel), origin of this
word is qat-‘a. Qat-‘a means “to cut”. It aims “to pass the way, to
cross over any field”.
In this verse, there is mention about such good works, which the
Muslims perform. It is appendix of previous verse. Because every work/deed of
every Muslim is based on faith and honesty, and which difficulties are suffered
by him are for the pleasure of Allah Almighty, so suffering from hardships are
also counted in good works. That is to say; doing good works and bearing pains,
both will be written in the form of his good works.
It is commanded that whatever the Muslims spend for the Cause of Allah
Almighty, whether that is small or great, how much they travel; only for the
sake of God Almighty and for the help of Islam, these all activities are
entered in their Character Roll as good works. And against such good works,
they will be given much more substitution than their good works.
It has been described in this verse that one should not consider that all
financial, physical and pertaining to life sacrifices of Muslims are fruitless.
But Allah Almighty will repay them the best of that; what they used to do,
whether that was small or great.
Their good works affect in the world. Its effect will be that the
community of Muslims will develop and move ahead being strong and organized. They
will be cooperative and united for one another, and their entire enemies will
be ruined by their own hands. And this sapling of Islam; which was still younger,
will become a very big tree after strengthening its roots. Branches and leafs
of it will spread so much vide that if the world will desire, it will live in
its shadow safe and sound, and will enjoy its fruit.
And on the Day of Resurrection, these entire small and great sacrifices
will be foundation of ease and pleasure for ever. After looking the comforts of
the Paradise, the Muslims will say: Our worldly works and efforts are valueless
against these blessings.
