In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Extract from QUR’AANIC
STUDIES -A Modern Tafsir PART I:
266. Ayawaddu ahadukum
an takoona lahu jannatun min nakheelin waaAAnabin tajree min tahtiha
al-anharu lahu feeha min kulli alththamarati waasabahu
alkibaru walahu thurriyyatun duAAafao faasabaha
iAAsarun feehi narun faihtaraqat kathalika
yubayyinu Allahu lakumu al-ayati laAAallakum tatafakkaroona
2:266. Would any of you wish
to be like one in a situation as follows? He has a garden of palm trees and
grape vines, underneath which run streams of water, and he gets all kinds of
fruits there from. He has reached old age and his children are weak. And in
these circumstances a fiery hurricane hits his garden and burns it down. Thus,
Allah does make signs/Verses/messages clear to you so that you may ponder over
them.501
501. This is a clear divine warning to those who are
endowed with riches in this world. They do have to spend their wealth in Allah's
Path; otherwise He could easily turn their wealth to naught any time.
