Commentary
Sometimes a man
hesitates from spending for piety due to the reason that he would have to
sacrifice his favorite things. There are many such things in this mortal world,
which are most beloved to him. Some times this love extends to the extent that
he feels unpleasant to be separate from them. The love of these things compels
him to sacrifice every thing for them. This love makes him blind and he loses
the distinction between good and bad.
The life of human
being passes in acquiring pleasures, honor and becoming famous, wealth and
children, demand of nobility and chief-ship, and he/she loves them very much.
Sometimes he sacrifices also his honesty to achieve and maintain them. In his
view, the value of piety falls down as compared to these things. Like this, he
becomes effigy of the selfishness, loving of the lustful desires and statue of
sensuality. Gradually he turns away from the piety at all.
As long as the
selfishness is not rooted out from the human heart and if he is not taught to
love the virtue more than every thing, he cannot become righteous. A man who
becomes ready to sacrifice his most favorite thing for piety, there is no doubt
in his sincerity, good intentions and his worship to God. In fact, selfishness
is foundation of the entire evils, and the sincerity is the soul of all
goodness.
The Jews and the
Christians used to love the wealth and affluence. They had power and chief-ship
over the uneducated people of their nation and this thing was very dear to
them. They were afraid that if they would believe in the last Prophet (grace,
glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him), if they obeyed him
then they would lose their nobility and strength. That is why they used to
disbelieve in him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Allah
Almighty commanded them, “Till the time you will not be ready to sacrifice your
most favorite thing; you would not be able to get the piety”. Allah Almighty
knows also that, “Who did spend? Which thing was spent? For whom was spent? The
thing, how much favorite will be spent in the way of Allah Almighty, He will
reward you corresponding to that as retaliation.
Allah Almighty has determined the standard for the
piety that the person should sacrifice his most favorite thing in His path.
That will be considered the best virtue and Allah Almighty will appreciate him
for it.
