Ten-fold in this world and seventy-fold in the next

Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

 
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ 274

  

274.  Those who spend their wealth by night and day, by stealth and openly, verily their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

274.  ‘Allaziina  yunfiquuna  ‘am-waalahum-  bil-layli  wan-nahaari  sirranw-wa  ‘alaa-niyatan-  fa-lahum  ‘ajruhum  ‘inda  Rabbihim.  Wa  laa khawfun  ‘alay-him  wa  laa  hum  yah-zanuun.

   

Commentary

Khawfun – (fear), the meaning of this word are same in Urdu just like Arabic language. However, we should bear in mind that the fear belongs to the future.

Yah-zanuun – (they shall grieve), its origin is huzn, which means grief, sadness, affliction. It will be in the chain of the past always. For example; someone suffered from any troublesome incident, he committed a fault or mistake, then he will be grieved and dejected for a kind.

Allah Almighty has commanded that if the people, who spend their wealth and property in His Way, fulfill the necessities of poor and needy people by day and night, cherish of the poor morning and evening with their alms and charity, and continue to do such goodness by openly and stealth, then Allah Almighty will make them rich with the future reward of this virtue and recompense them. Moreover, He will please them with His favors and honors.

We should not forget it also that the reward of goodness is repaid even in this world as well as in the Hereinafter too. Probably, the Saints have made an idiom to disclose this object, “tenfold in this world and seventy-fold in the next world will be bestowed”. Allah Almighty has promised in His Word (Holy Qur’aan) that ‘you will be given full reward and never be lessened anything from you.

God Almighty has described two more subjects, “there shall no fear of future come upon (these types of the pious) servants and neither shall they grieve (for the past)”. That is to say; they will not deplore on the actions and deeds of the past, and like this they will not become hopeless and desperate absolutely about their future.
