(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
وَمَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَأَنفَقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمْ عَلِيمًا 39
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُمِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَٰعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا 40

39. And what (harm) would it have done them if they had
believed in Allah and the Last Day and spend (benevolently) of that which
Allah hath bestowed upon them. And Allah is ever Aware of them (and all they
do)?
40. Surely Allah does not do injustice even to the
weight of an atom; and if there is a good deed, He will double it and will
give (the doer) from His Presence an immense reward.

Commentary
Before these verses, two basic
depravities regarding wealth and property were discussed i.e. stinginess and
dissemblance. If it is considered thoughtfully, we can find reasons of these
both worst depravities; which are:
- Not
having belief in Allah Almighty
- And
not putting faith in the retaliation of deeds (to be faced in the
Doomsday).
The person, who has perception
that the wealth is not mine but there is Someone Else Who gives it and He will
take its account also from me. How would he do covetousness about that wealth
against the will of its Giver (Allah Almighty)? And the person, who believes
that Allah Almighty is nearest to his/her jugular vein and He knows everything
either that is hidden or apparent, then how would he/she have courage of
hypocrisy?
In these verses, Allah Almighty
said to the infidels that if they had believed in Him and the Last Day instead
of infidelity, and spent in the way of Allah Almighty escaping from avarice and
in order to be seen of men, then what (harm) would it have done them?
Nevertheless, there was entirely benefit for them in it. Loss is in the path,
which they have adopted now. Allah Almighty is ever Aware of all they do and
knows very well their intention of doing. They either will get reward or will
be punished accordingly.
Wa ‘anfaquu mimmaa
razaqa-humUllaah – {and they
spend (benevolently) of that which Allah has bestowed upon them}. Using this
sentence, they are being told that Bestower is only Allah Almighty. Therefore,
they should spend the wealth according to the guidance, commands and orders of
Allah Almighty, and do not spend it in accord with their own will considering it
themselves. Allah Almighty does not waste anyone’s right even to the weight of
an atom.
Miser and hypocrite should
think that there is nothing lacking in the treasures of Allah Almighty. It has
come in the Sayings of Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of
Allah Almighty be upon him) that if the entire world asks Him for the wealth
and all the people are bestowed, even then there won’t be any decrements
likewise drowning the needle in the sea, and the water of sea decreases by the
water remains in the eye of the needle.
