O Muslims - 7


In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

254. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo anfiqoo mimma razaqnakum min qabli an ya/tiya yawmun la bayAAun feehi wala khullatun wala shafaAAatun waalkafiroona humu alththalimoona

2:254. O you believers! Spend of what We have given you before the advent of the Day during which shall there be no trade, no friendship and no intercession. And suppressors of the Truth – those are the wrong-doers.481

481. This Verse reveals to us several things:
·         Allah given things – like wealth, wisdom, time – are to be made use of and not just hoarded or wasted away.
·         Every individual's position in the Hereafter inter alia depends on the way he uses those Allah-given things here.
·         The proper use of those things may make him/her eligible for entry into Paradise, and their misuse may land him/her in Hell.
·         Evaluation of every individual on Judgment Day shall be strictly impartial. No good man would be able to buy a better place in the Hereafter for his friend/relative.
·         In the Hereafter, there is no scope for any intercession – from a friend, a relative, or even a Prophet. Beware, Muslims and Christians!
·         Those who do not believe in all that the Verse implies are only deluding themselves and others. And, consequentially, they are oppressing themselves and others.
