THE HYPOCRTICAL OBSTRUCTION (VERSES NO. 79 - 80)

      In that expedition of hardship, Muslims contributed whatever they could of financial help. The wealthy offered a relatively large amount, and the poor contributed their labours, and both kinds of offerings were equally valuable for the sincerity and good- will of the giver. But the hypocrites scoffed at the poor, for their little contributions, and also attributed wrong motives like pretence and ostentation, to the giver of large sum! They did that to discourage Muslims in doing good, and to stop the wheels of useful works to turn over and on! The Holy Quran strictly reproaches such inhuman behaviours saying:

      ``Those who criticize the obedient believers in their offerings, and taunt those who find nothing to offer except the fruit of their labour - Allah will scoff at them and will punish them a painful punishment.''

      According to the above verses, the quality of a contribution is more important than its quantity. It is narrated that, when the above verses revealed, the prophet put the little amount of dates offered by ABUAQIL on top of all the other offerings - the offering of a Muslim who had ignored his rest and sleep, and worked overtime up to the midnight; while his heart was filled with a love for God, to obtain that!
