وَ مَاۤ And not اَمْوَالُكُمْ your wealth وَ لَاۤ and not اَوْلَادُكُمْ your children بِالَّتِیْ [that] تُقَرِّبُكُمْ will bring you close عِنْدَنَا to Us زُلْفٰۤی (in) position اِلَّا but مَنْ whoever اٰمَنَ believes وَ عَمِلَ and does صَالِحًا ؗ righteousness فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ then those لَهُمْ for them جَزَآءُ (will be) reward الضِّعْفِ two-fold بِمَا for what عَمِلُوْا they did وَ هُمْ and they فِی (will be) in الْغُرُفٰتِ the high dwellings اٰمِنُوْنَ secure وَ الَّذِیْنَ And those who یَسْعَوْنَ strive فِیْۤ against اٰیٰتِنَا Our Verses مُعٰجِزِیْنَ (to) cause failure اُولٰٓىِٕكَ those فِی into الْعَذَابِ the punishment مُحْضَرُوْنَ (will be) brought قُلْ Say اِنَّ Indeed رَبِّیْ my Lord یَبْسُطُ extends الرِّزْقَ the provision لِمَنْ for whom یَّشَآءُ He wills مِنْ of عِبَادِهٖ His slaves وَ یَقْدِرُ and restricts لَهٗ ؕ for him وَ مَاۤ But what اَنْفَقْتُمْ you spend مِّنْ of شَیْءٍ anything فَهُوَ then He یُخْلِفُهٗ ۚ will compensate it وَ هُوَ and He خَیْرُ (is the) Best الرّٰزِقِیْنَ (of) the Providers 34. Saba Page 433 وَ یَوْمَ And (the) Day یَحْشُرُهُمْ He will gather them جَمِیْعًا all ثُمَّ then یَقُوْلُ He will say لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ to the Angels اَهٰۤؤُلَآءِ Were these you اِیَّاكُمْ Were these you كَانُوْا they were یَعْبُدُوْنَ worshipping قَالُوْا They will say سُبْحٰنَكَ Glory be to You اَنْتَ You وَلِیُّنَا (are) our Protector مِنْ not them دُوْنِهِمْ ۚ not them بَلْ Nay كَانُوْا they used یَعْبُدُوْنَ (to) worship الْجِنَّ ۚ the jinn اَكْثَرُهُمْ most of them بِهِمْ in them مُّؤْمِنُوْنَ (were) believers فَالْیَوْمَ But today لَا not یَمْلِكُ possess power بَعْضُكُمْ some of you لِبَعْضٍ on others نَّفْعًا to benefit وَّ لَا and not ضَرًّا ؕ to harm وَ نَقُوْلُ and We will say لِلَّذِیْنَ to those ظَلَمُوْا who wronged ذُوْقُوْا Taste عَذَابَ (the) punishment النَّارِ (of) the Fire الَّتِیْ which كُنْتُمْ you used بِهَا to [it] تُكَذِّبُوْنَ deny وَ اِذَا And when تُتْلٰی are recited عَلَیْهِمْ to them اٰیٰتُنَا Our Verses بَیِّنٰتٍ clear قَالُوْا they say مَا Not هٰذَاۤ (is) this اِلَّا but رَجُلٌ a man یُّرِیْدُ who wishes اَنْ to یَّصُدَّكُمْ hinder you عَمَّا from what كَانَ used یَعْبُدُ (to) worship اٰبَآؤُكُمْ ۚ your forefathers وَ قَالُوْا And they say مَا Not هٰذَاۤ (is) this اِلَّاۤ except اِفْكٌ a lie مُّفْتَرًی ؕ invented وَ قَالَ And said الَّذِیْنَ those who كَفَرُوْا disbelieved لِلْحَقِّ about the truth لَمَّا when جَآءَهُمْ ۙ it came to them اِنْ Not هٰذَاۤ (is) this اِلَّا except سِحْرٌ a magic مُّبِیْنٌ obvious وَ مَاۤ And not اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ We (had) given them مِّنْ any كُتُبٍ Scriptures یَّدْرُسُوْنَهَا which they could study وَ مَاۤ and not اَرْسَلْنَاۤ We sent اِلَیْهِمْ to them قَبْلَكَ before you مِنْ any نَّذِیْرٍؕ warner وَ كَذَّبَ And denied الَّذِیْنَ those who مِنْ (were) before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۙ (were) before them وَ مَا and not بَلَغُوْا they have attained مِعْشَارَ a tenth مَاۤ (of) what اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ We (had) given them فَكَذَّبُوْا But they denied رُسُلِیْ ۫ My Messengers فَكَیْفَ so how كَانَ was نَكِیْرِ۠ My rejection
37. Neither your wealth nor your children will bring you nearer 76 to Us, but those who believe and perform righteous deeds; 77 such will be doubly rewarded for their deeds; they will dwell in peace in the lofty mansions (of Paradise).
38. And those who strive to make Our revelations ineffective will be brought for punishment ! 78
39. Say: “Verily my Lord gives to His slaves abundantly of the provision whom He will and sparingly 79 (whom He will). And whatever you spend (in charity), He replaces it, and He is the Best of Providers. 80 ”
40. And on the day when He will gather them all togather, He will ask the angels: “Was it you that these worshipped? 81
41. They will say: “Immaculate are you; You are our protecting friend, not they.82 Nay, but they worshipped the jinn; most of them were believers in them.83”
42. This day you will have no power to help or harm one another.84 And We will say to the wrong-doers: 85 “Taste the punishment of Fire, which you persistently denied.”
43. When Our clear revelations are recited to them, they say: “This is nothing but a man 86 who would turn you away from that which your fathers used to worship.” And they say: “This (Quran) is nothing but an invented lie.” And the disbelievers say of the truth when it reaches them: “This is nothing but plain magic.”
44. We have given them no scripture to study nor have We sent them before any warner.87
45. Those who have gone before them (also) denied. These have not got even a tenth of what We gave to those, 88(yet) they denied My messenger. So then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)
76. It is the negation of this view of the deniers that whoever has plenty of riches and children, he is the favourite slave of God and nearer to Him. These things are enjoyed even by those who are evil doers, criminals and bad people. How can this be considered as the sign of nearness to God?
77. Faith and righteous acts are the things which can guarantee nearness to God, and persons having these attributes can only be Allah’s favourite slaves.
78. Those who are active in opposing Allah’s commands and teachings of His messengers will surely receive punishment, however rich they might have been in the world and however large might have been the number of their children. All their pomp and grandeur will remain in the world only and in the Hereafter they will be subjected to punishment.
79. This topic had gone before, By the addition of the words ‘to His slaves’ the idea is to express His attributes of providing livelihood to His creatures.
80. That is: Ponder over His attribute of being a Provider. He is constantly providing you livelihood. Whatever you spend, He replenishes it with the result that you never feel that you are in want of any provision. How much good a Provider He is! Even then you are not thankful to Him.
81. Here one more scene of the Day of Resurrection is presented. When the polytheists will be gathered in the ground of ‘Hashr’ Allah will ask the angels: Did these people worship you?
82. In reply the angels will praise the Lord mentioning His immaculateness, that He is absolutely free of and above the need for having partners. Then they would say that they had not made these misled people their friends to be pleased with their worshipping them and having any relation with them, their (angels’) friend was and is only Allah.
83. The angels will further say that the misled people were worshipping the jinns, and they believed in them only. It means that if they worshipped the angels, they did so at the bidding of the Satanic jinns. They were also ardent believers of the jinns, that they regularly followed them and persisted in their misguidance, the angels had nothing to do with them. This statement of the angels will make their worshippers realise this fact that to make angels their deities and partners of Allah was not right.
84. After this statement of the angels, polytheists who had expected intercession at the hands of the angels, will be disappointed that they were of no use for them. This is the consequence of living on the support or beings other than Allah.
85.’Zalim’ means wrong doer, one whose belief and acts are against the truth and justice, and on this account one is doing excess (wrong) on his own self. In this ayah, as is clear from the context, wrong doer refers to polytheists and deniers of the Hereafter.
86. That is: He is not a divine messenger.
87. That is: For the Bani Ismail (these Arabs) no divine scriptures were sent down, as the Torah and Injeel were revealed for the Bani Israil. This was an unlettered nation, and no prophet after Prophet Ismail was sent among them. Therefore, after a very long time, the Prophet who has been sent to them and the Book which has been revealed to him for their benefit, must be appreciated by them that Allah has made such an arrangement for their right guidance, and what an elevated position Allah wants to give them. But these people instead of appreciating the Prophet and the Book, declare them to be false and magic.
88. Refers to those nations of past who had great might and power, and enjoyed plentiful resources of livelihood, e.g. the community of A’d, the community of Firaun, etc. Compared to them the Quraish had neither that might and power nor those resources. They had neither any army, nor their civilization was progressive or developed. Nor did they have plentiful economic resources.
