Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 05)
Verses 21-23Verses 19-20

      If in the previous verses, God has threated His servants with the threat of His punishment, here He has given the good-news of His being Kind and Favourable to all His servants, and even to all His creatures.

      If God hastens not to punish His ignorant servants soon after sinning, it is due to His utmost kindness and mercy.

 

      The Arabic word, ``LATIF'' translated to, ``FAVOURABLE'' has a twofold of meanings:-

      1- It means Being Kind-Merciful, and Loving.

      2- The second meaning of, ``LATIF'' implies that Allah is aware of extremely fine, delicate, and hidden affairs and things.

      The verse, (NO.19) implies that Allah our Lord is the only Sustainer of all creatures, the most Powerful, and All-mighty, and the Exalted in might.

      Allah provides sustenance for all His servants, and all His creaturesِmale or femaleِjust or unjust.

      Here sustenance means; whatever is needed physically, morally, or spiritually, for all of them to live. The verse says that:- ``Allah gives sustenance to whom He will.''

      This does not mean that God leaves some of them without provisions. He provides for all His creatures, but His provision is more or less according to God's wisdom and General Plan, and not according to people's extravagant demands.

      In the next verse, through a fine similitude, God compares people of this world with the farmers who tilths a land.

      Some of them cultivate to reap here in this world, and some other till for the life to come.

      Those who cultivate the land to reap in the Hereafter, God will increase their tillage. But those who till their land with the intention to reap in this material world, God will let them have their portion of it, but they will have no share in the world to come.

      Man reaps what he sows, but Allah will add manifold advantages for moral and spiritual tilths. As to those who intend to live an animal life, which is merely to eat, drink, and enjoy, in this material world; without the least amount of spiritual movement, God will let them have the results of their endeavour, but nothing will accrue of their work, for their spiritual world; and therefore they will have no share of anything in the life to come.
