[50] Surah Qaf [Qaf]
Ayat 36. And how many a generation We have destroyed before them, who were stronger in power than them, and (when Our Torment came) they ran for a refuge in the land! Could they find any place of refuge (for them to save themselves from destruction)?
Ayat 37. Verily, therein is indeed a reminder for him who has a heart or gives ear while he is heedful.
Tafseer of Surah Qaf Ayat 36 to 37. But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins), stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)? While virtue and righteousness will accomplish their final goal, what will be the End of Sin? Let the past tell its story. Many powerful and arrogant generations were swept away, to stray in the paths of misery, without any way of escape from the consequences of their sin. This was already seen in the life of this world. In the world to come, it will be worse, as already stated in verses 24-26 above. 37. Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth). As Christ said (Matt. 11:15), "he that hath ears to hear, let him hear". These are matters of high moments. Many spiritual lessons can be learnt from these things by anyone who has the heart and understanding to apply to Allah's teaching and can give genuine thought to what he sees, as a witness does who has to swear to the facts on his oath.
Hadith الحدیث
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a man to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, which charity is the most reward able?'' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, "That you should give charity (in a state when you are) healthy and stingy and fear poverty, hoping to become rich (charity in such a state of health and mind is the best). And you must not defer (charity to such a length) that you are about to die and would be saying: 'This is for so-and-so, and this for so-and-so.' Lo! It has already come into (the possession of) so-and-so".
[Al-Bukhari Book 02, Chapter 24, Hadith # 500].
Lesson: Charity in the real sense is that which a person gives when he is healthy. If a person gives charity when he is facing death, it does not have much value before Allah. Moreover, in that condition he cannot give more than one-third of his property in charity because then it becomes the property of his successors, which cannot be spent even in the way of Allah. For this reason Allah has prescribed a limit in this respect, according to which if a person going through a mortal disease wants to give his property in charity or donate it for some charitable purpose, he cannot spend more than one-third of it on this account. This injunction is an inducement for people to hurry in doing good deeds, especially in the matter of alms and charity. In fact, he should do it without delay.
