(254) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاكُم
مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لاَّ بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلاَ خُلَّةٌ وَلاَ شَفَاعَةٌ
وَالْكَافِرُونَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
254. "O' you who have Faith! spend (in alms) of that which We have provided
for you, before there comes a day wherein shall be no bargaining, neither
friendship, nor intercession; and the infidels - they are the unjust."
Commentary:
This verse is rendered as a warning to the believers, telling them to give
alms and not to lose the respite they have in this life. They are recommended to
provide some fitting provisions thereby for their certain journey; the next
life, the Hereafter. It says:
" O' you who have Faith! spend (in alms) of that which We have
provided for you, ... "
On the Resurrection Day, there will be neither any bargain to buy the means
of felicity and security against one's infidelity, nor any friend or intercessor
to make their infidelity invalid.
"... before there comes a day wherein shall be no bargaining
neither friendship, nor intercession; and the infidels - they are the
unjust."
They are deprived from intercession in that world because they were the cause
of deprivation for others in this world. For example, a miser person not only is
unjust to himself, since he extinguishes the light of generosity inside his self
and wastes his situation in the Hereafter, but also practically proves inequity
against others when he ignores the Divine commendments.
