Tafseer of Surah Al-Ma'arij Ayat. 19 to 25. Truly man was created very impatient; Man, according to the Plan of Allah, was to be in the best of moulds (95:4). But in order to fulfil his high destiny he was given free will to a limited extent. The wrong use of this free will makes his nature weak (4:28), or hasty (17:11), or impatient, as here. That becomes his nature by his own act, but he is spoken of as so created because of the capacities given to him in his creation. 20. Fretful when evil touches him; 21. And niggardly when good reaches him; In adversity he complains and gets into despair. In prosperity he becomes arrogant and forgets other people's rights and his own shortcomings. Cf. 41:49-50. 22. Not so those devoted to Prayer;- The description of those devoted to Prayer is given in a number of clauses that follow, introduced by the words "Those who . . .". "Devoted to Prayer" is here but another aspect of what is described elsewhere as the Faithful and the Righteous. Devotion to prayer does not mean merely a certain number of formal rites or prostrations. It means a complete surrender of one's being to Allah. This means an earnest approach to and realization of Allah's Presence ("steadfastness in Prayer"); acts of practical and real charity; and attempt to read this life in terms of the Hereafter; the seeking of the Peace of Allah and avoidance of His displeasure; chastity; probity; true and firm witness; and guarding the sacredness of the Presence (verse 34). 23. Those who remain steadfast to their prayer; 24. And those in whose wealth is a recognized right. 25. For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking See Ayat 51:19. True charity consists in finding out those in real need, whether they ask or not. Most frequently those who ask are idle men who insolently wish to live upon others. But all cases of those who ask should be duly investigated, in case a little timely help may set the erring on the way. But the man with wealth or talent or opportunity has the further responsibility of searching out those in need of his assistance, in order to show that he holds all gifts in trust for the service of his fellow creatures.
Hadith الحدیث
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin `Amr Al-Khuza'i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, "O Allah, I declare inviolable the rights of two weak ones: the orphans and women".
[Sunan' An-Nasai Hadith # 9150]
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Ma'arij Ayat 24. And those in whose wealth there is a known right, Ayat 25. For the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth, (and his means of living has been straitened); The poor are generally treated callously in human society. Women and orphans are regular victims of this cruelty. They are deprived of their share in property to which they are entitled under the Islamic law. In some cases, their properties are usurped and they are maltreated at the hands of usurpers. The Prophet ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) has threatened them with serious consequences to prevent the Muslims from committing such injustice. The attitude of Muslims and the teachings of Islam in this matter are two different things. How can Islam be blamed for the attitude of Muslims? It is time Muslims should understand that Islam is getting a bad name because of their bad conduct. As a result of this they are committing a double crime. On the one hand, they are guilty of usurping others of their legitimate rights and perpetrating cruelties, and on the other, disgracing their religion. In other words, rather than preaching Islam they are creating obstacles in the way of people joining the fold of Islam. May Allah grant us guidance to follow the right path. Amen!.
