৩১. নভোমন্ডল ও ভূমন্ডলে যা কিছু আছে,
সবই আল্লাহর,
যাতে তিনি মন্দকর্মীদেরকে তাদের কর্মের প্রতিফল দেন এবং সৎকর্মীদেরকে
দেন ভাল ফল।
Ayat 31. And
to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the
earth, that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have
done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what
is best (i.e. Paradise).
Tafseer of Surah An-Najm (The Star) Ayat 31. Yea, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: so that He rewards those who do(5105) evil, according to their deeds, and He rewards those who do good, with what is best. 5105 All deeds have their consequences, good or ill. But this is not an iron law, as the Determinists in philosophy, or the preachers of bare Karma, would have us believe. Allah does not sit apart. He governs the world. And Mercy as well as Justice are His attributes. In His Justice every deed or word or thought of evil has its consequence for the doer or speaker or thinker. But there is always in this life room for repentance and amendment. As soon as this is forthcoming, Allah's Mercy comes into action. It can blot out our evil, and the "reward" which it gives is nearly always greater than our merits.
Hazrat Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH)
said, "O son of Adam, if you spend the surplus, it will be better for
you; and if you retain it, it will be evil for you. You will not be
reprimanded for storing what is enough for your need. First of all spend
upon those who are your dependents.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2343].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah An-Najm Ayat 31. “and reward those who do good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise)’’ The Muslims have been allowed, rather emphatically told and commanded, to possess as much wealth as could meet their personal and family needs. Yet, they have also been advised to spend the spare money on the needy. Man has been told that it is unwise on his part to be niggardly about money because it spawns unfavorable results in this world as well as in the Hereafter. The concentration of wealth within a few hands freezes its vitality and leads to corruption in society. As for the Hereafter, the result of stinginess will be definitely bad as the Qur'an says: "The things which they covetously withheld shall be tied to their necks like a collar on the Day of Resurrection.'' (3:180) Some `Ulama' are of the opinion that after the payment of the annual Zakat (poor-due), it is not necessary to spend more. But to be accurate, if somebody pays Zakat and yet retains enough money with him, and there are some needy people also in his knowledge, then he will be bound to spend on them. At-Tirmidhi quoted a Hadith in which Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Indeed there is a right (for poor) in the wealth in addition to Zakat.''
