Lesson
In this verse such infidels and sinners have been
admonished who think always that gold and silver (wealth and property) are the
actual source of whole power and strength. Money covers the entire sins and
conceals all the evils. They think that as they escape from punishment of
crimes by giving a bribe or ransom in this world, likewise they might escape from
wrath of Allah Almighty by giving Him silver and gold as a ransom in the
Doomsday.
Allah Almighty has told them that their imaginations
were vain. If any sinner out of them have gold equivalent to the entire earth
and he wishes to present it as ransom of his sins to Allah Almighty, then it
will never be accepted. He has no need of the gold. He is Owner of the whole
universe, earth and skies, Creator of all the creatures and existent, all are
obedient unto Him from an atom to the sun, from an ant to elephant and from inferior
sinner human being to a high dignity Prophet (peace be upon him). Gold, silver,
money, wealth and riches, all are in His Ownership and He is the One, Who gives
these all things to the people. Then why would He forgive the sinners against
the ransom of it?
In fact ideology of bribe and ransom is creation
of those people, whose religion is money and wealth, whose purpose of life is
wealth, who look for this during their entire life, spend their time and labor
to acquire it, pass their age for its collection. At last taking its grief in
their hearts, they leave this mortal world with empty hands. These people used
to run behind the gold and silver, and did close pursuit for the wealth. They endowed
their entire attention and labor for it, but found too much dreadful, full of
pain and suffering result. They remained in the same wrong supposition that this
thing is the origin of salvation and cause of success. But these blind of
wisdom do not know that the real wealth is the wealth of Belief. Real capital
is the capital of virtue. Gold and silver have the value not even like just a worthless
straw comparatively to good acts. On the Doomsday, just righteousness can save.
Heaps of gold and silver would not work in the Hereafter.
Iftadaa- (offered as a ransom)
ransom means to repay, which is paid in return of any fault or sin in the form
of wealth or any other thing.
The People of the Scripture had false belief about ransom,
which became cause of their waywardness and easiness.
