Commentary
‘Al-laziina ‘aqadat
‘aymaanukum – (as for those with whom your right hands have
made a covenant), the persons, with whom you have promised for something, any
treaty of alliance).
It
has been described in this verse that the heirs have the right of portion from
the wealth, which has been left by any deceased person, whether the dead
persons either are parents or near kindred and with whom your right hands have
made any covenant, they should be given their due.
Allah
Almighty recognizes well that, what the portion of inheritance should be for
which heir and what should be given to those who have been promised and that
who accepts His orders and who denies/disobeys.
Reason
of this verse’s revelation has been mentioned that many people used to embrace
Islam individually leaving their idolater and infidel families, and their
families and relatives used to remain infidels until long. The Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) made two by two
Muslims as partners (brothers) of one another to remove this condition of the
Muslims. Therefore, those partners used to become heirs of each other. But
after some time, when their near kindred and relatives embraced Islam, then
this verse was revealed that actually, the hereditary is the right of only
those near kindred and real relatives. Spoken brothers have no right in the
inheritance. However, they should be treated with good behavior in their lives,
and if someone bequeaths anything for them at the time of death then it is
convenient too. But lawfully they have no right in hereditary.
Allah
Almighty has fixed the shares in the inheritance, which are due from the
members of the family, near kindred and the relatives vide different verses.
These entire portions of the inheritance have been determined in view of their
rights and requisitions of all of them. These are good and proper from the
beginning to the end for the Muslims in its acceptance. Therefore, we should
perform them without any hesitation. Knowledge of Allah Almighty comprehends
every thing. He understands very well the intentions and deeds of humankind. He
shall reward or punish them in accord with their intentions.
