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.
