৬৬. বসবাস ও অবস্থানস্থল হিসেবে তা কত নিকৃষ্ট জায়গা।
৬৭. এবং তারা যখন ব্যয় করে, তখন অযথা ব্যয় করে না কৃপণতাও করে না এবং তাদের পন্থা হয় এতদুভয়ের মধ্যবর্তী।
Ayat 66. Evil indeed it
(Hell) is as an abode and as a place to dwell.
Ayat 67. And those, who, when
they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way)
between those
(extremes).
[Tafseer]
of Ayat 66. "Evil
indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in"; The
misery which results from sin is not only grievous to live in ("an abode") but
also grievous "to rest in" or "to stand in", if it be only for a short time.
[Tafseer] of Ayat 67.
Those
who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just
(balance) between those (extremes); In
ordinary spending, this is a wise rule. But even in charity, in which we give of
our best, it is not expected that we should be extravagant, i.e., that we should
either do it for show (to impress other people), or do it thoughtlessly, which
would be the case if we "rob Peter to pay Paul". We should certainly not be
miserly, but we should remember everyone's rights, including our own, and strike
a perfectly just balance between
them.
Hazrat Anas (May
Allah be pleased with him) reported: The supplication most often recited by
The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) was: "Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan, wa
fil-akhirati hasanatan, wa qina `adhab-annar (O our Rubb! give us in this world
that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the
punishment of the
Fire).''
[Al-Bukhari
Book 35, Chapter 09, Hadith #
6507].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 66. Evil indeed it (Hell)
is as an abode and as a place to dwell" It is
desirable to recite this Du`a which is mentioned in the Qur'an (2:201) and which
comprehends all that is good both in this life and the Hereafter. The Messenger
of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) made it a habit to recite this Du`a, and the Companions
were eager to follow him in all his words and
actions.
