Verses 48-53Verses 45-47

      The immediate reference here is to the reactions of the stubborn disbelievers to so many signs of God, of which they turn their face not to see them!

Signs of Go are too many, and found everywhere and in everything. They can teach us lessons, and guide us to the righteous way of evolution and prosperity, on condition that we do not rurn away intentionally, and reject the truth deliberately:-

      ``There comes not any sign of the signs of God, their Lord, to them, except that they turn away from it.''

      Man is advised here to be cautious of the consequences of his deeds whether in the past or future. This is because there is a reaction for every action, and that everyone is held in pledge of his own deeds. The present is a fleeting moment between the past and future, and in fact it is our past that makes our present as well as our future. We therefore must prepare ourselves for the life to come, and ask our Lord earnestly to help us with His Divine Power and Holy Spirit, to walk on His straight way.

      Then the Holy Qurän points to one of the cases of disbeliever's obstinacy, that:-

      ``When it is said to them spend in alms and charity a fraction of what, with which Allah has sustained you. They reject and say:- ``Should we feed some one whom Allah would have fed if He wanted to!?''

      The miser who loves wealth for its own sake, and spends as little as possible, does not give a hand to the poor and helpless. When they are asked to give a small fraction of their sustenance in alms or charity, they begin to bring flimsy pretexts and weave meaningless philosophy, and say:-

      ``Why should we feed someone whom God can feed him like us, if He really wants to.''

 

      They amass wealth, and are only happy to save and count without using the least amount of it. They don't care that when a mansion of wealth rises up in one corner of the town or society, a pit of poverty will be dug in the other corner!
