Covetous people should consider thoughtfully
Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’ (The Women) – Chapter – 4)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
39. And what
(harm) would it have done them if they had believed in Allah and the Last Day
and spend (benevolently) of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them. And
Allah is ever Aware of them (and all they do)?
40. Surely
Allah does not do injustice even to the weight of an atom; and if there is a
good deed, He will double it and will give (the doer) from His Presence an
immense reward.

Commentary
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:
- Not having belief in Allah Almighty
- And not having faith in the results of deeds (to be faced in the
Doomsday).
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 (Allah Almighty)? And the person, who believes
that Allah Almighty is nearest to his/her jugular vein and He knows everything
either that is hidden or apparent, then how would he/she have courage of
hypocrisy?
In these verses, Allah Almighty
said to the infidels that if they had believed in Him and the Last Day instead
of infidelity, and spent in the way of Allah Almighty escaping from avarice and
in order to be seen of men, then what (harm) would it have done them?
Nevertheless, there was entirely benefit for them in it. Loss is in the path,
which they have adopted now. Allah Almighty 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 Allah has bestowed upon them}. Using this
sentence, they are being told that Bestower is only Allah Almighty. Therefore,
they should spend the wealth according to the guidance, commands and orders of
Allah Almighty, and do not spend it in accord with their own will considering
it themselves. Allah Almighty does not waste anyone’s right even to the weight
of an atom.
Miser and hypocrite should think
that there is nothing lacking in the treasures of Allah Almighty. It has come
in the Sayings of Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah
Almighty be upon him) 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.
