Commentary

If Allah Almighty bestows any person excellence and superiority over you or other persons in any matter, and promotes him in it, then you should not be envious of that. It is likewise too as to interfere in someone’s life and wealth without grounds, which has been determined unlawful according to previous verses. Besides it, such greediness increases mutual jealousy and spite, and adversity of the Will and Wisdom of Allah Almighty manifests from it also. Allah Almighty does not like such entire matters.

Purpose of revelation of this verse is that some women came to see the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)! What is the reason that Allah Almighty addresses the men in every matter and commands them only, and He does not mention about the women anywhere? In addition, the men are given double from the women from the inheritance of the dead. Those women have been replied for their question in this verse that Allah Almighty has given the men excellence on the women due to a specific skill. Therefore, they (the women) should not envy because of this superiority of the men.

Allah Almighty commands that the portion from the inheritance has been fixed for the women as well as the men, as some persons work more, so they get remuneration more. Nothing is lessened from it. Allah Almighty has bestowed the men a particular excellence, superiority and magnificence upon the women in accord with His Knowledge. If the women envy on it, it will be an unreasonable desire. However, if they get more reward and prize by doing good deeds, then it will be better. The person, who wishes more Bounty of Allah Almighty, he/she should call for His Mercy by doing more and more good deeds. He/she should not be seeker of the Bounty of Allah Almighty by means of envy and malice. Allah Almighty has Knowledge of everything. He knows the right and the place of everybody very well and deals them according to their position.
