CH. 34 SABA' PT. 22 وَالَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِي ابْتِنَا مُعْجِزِيْنَ أُوليك And as to those who strive. 39 to frustrate the purpose of Our Signs, it is they who will be brought face to face with punishment. 3162 40. Say, 'Surely, my فِي الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ Lord enlarges the provision for such عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُ وَمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ of His servants as He pleases and straitens it for such of them as He pleases. And whatever you spend, He will replace it; and He is the Best of providers. " 3163 فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرُّزِقِينَ وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ And remember the day. 41 when He will gather them all لِلْمَلبِكَةِ أَهْؤُلَاءِ إِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوا together; then He will say to the يَعْبُدُونَ angels: 'Was it you that they worshipped?' 22:52. 6:129; 10:29; 17:98; 19:69. and false superiority based on wealth, power and position, referred to in v. 36 and means to say that these things are not the means of achieving nearness to God. On the contrary, they tend to keep man away from Him. It is right belief and good actions which are his real wealth and which can bring him salvation and God's pleasure. 3162. Commentary: The verse purports to say that God has decreed that the new Faith shall prosper and triumph and all the efforts and machinations of disbelievers to retard or arrest its onward march will prove futile. The disbelievers will not be able to frustrate God's purpose. On the contrary, their machinations will recoil on their own heads and they will be visited with Divine punishment. 3163. Commentary: The subject matter of v. 37 is here repeated to emphasize the fact that disbelievers should not be misled by the present poverty and weakness of Muslims, as the latter are destined to inherit the kingdom of the earth because they have believed in the Message of God Who is the Owner and Controller of all the sources of wealth. 2616
