And let those fear (in their behaviour toward orphans) who if they left
behind them weak offspring would be afraid for them. So let them mind their
duty to Allah, and speak justly.
10.
Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow
fire into their bellies. And they will be exposed to burning flame.

Lesson
Apparently,
it seems that this order is for the guardians and the protectors of the orphans
but if we observe it minutely then we will find that it is also applicable upon
the other people.
As each
person out of us fears that anywhere the matter would not be dealt with badness
and severely with our children after our death, likewise we should abstain from
extortion with the orphan children of others. As you wish that after your
death, the people must treat your children with kindness and grace, just like
this, you should behave the orphans in a good manner, with mercy and kindness.
If you will do so, then you will remain satisfied about your own offspring, and
verily, other people will treat your children with softness and elegance like
your behavior with others’ orphans.
You
should fear from Allah Almighty, talk with the orphans in a pleasant mood and
straight forward, so that, they may get encourage, they may be capable of being
set to right or cured and may escape from any disaster.
It has
been told in the previous verses several times that care is intransitive in
connection with spending the wealth of the orphans, because embezzling in their
property is a very big sin. Now the punishment regarding embezzlement in the
wealth of orphans has been caused to hear that the persons, who devour the
wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies. That
is to say, the end of devouring the property of orphans will be exposing them
(who devour) to the burning flame very soon.
There
is no utmost limit of friendless and helplessness of the orphan. He/she is
indigent and seeks support of others. If he/she does not find any trustworthy
and kind protector then for him/her, it is not far to be ruined and dissolute.
Therefore, Allah Almighty ordered, “Deal honestly and treat kindly with the
orphans. The person, who will devour the wealth of this helpless creature wrongfully,
will be punished very severely.”
