In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful | Have you seen the one who denies the Day of Judgment?[1] He it is who drives away the orphan with harshness[2] and does not encourage the feeding of the poor.[3] So woe to those who offer Salah (prayers),[4] but are neglectful of their Salah (offer Prayers but disregard the very purpose of establishing Salah - to have the fear of Allah and be mindful to the needs of other people);[5] those who make a show of piety[6] and refuse to share the necessities of life.[7] 107:[1-7] | Disbelief in the Hereafter is the main cause of moral decay and lack of caring about others |
Major Issues, Divine Law and Guidance: * Disbelief in the Hereafter is the main cause of moral decay. * God consciousness, social welfare and caring about other people's necessities of life are the main purposes of Salah (prayers). The theme of this Sürah is to point out what kind of morals a man develops when he refuses to believe in the Hereafter. In vv 2-3 the condition of the disbelievers, who openly deny the Hereafter, is described. In the last four verses, the state of those hypocrites who apparently are Muslims but do not believe in the Hereafter: the Day of Judgement, reward and the punishment, has been described. On the whole, the objective of depicting the attitude and conduct of two kinds of people is to stress the point that man cannot develop a strong, stable and pure character in himself unless he believes in the Hereafter
Those people who offer Salah (prayers), but do not practice good behavior with other believers and neighbors, and do not provide a helping hand when they are needed to do so, have not understood the very reason for which congregational prayers are made obligatory. Therefore, it is pointed out that their prayers are nothing but a show and are not acceptable to Allah and such people may very well end up in the hellfire. |
