Episode 22 - Commentary of Surah Muhammad (47) - Miserliness and Generosity

Commentary of Verse 37-38

37. If He, Allah, should ask it,your wealth, of you and that you give it in His way, you would definitely covetand withhold it, and He would bring out your suppressed resentments.

38. You are surely those called upon to spend of your wealthin Allah’s cause; yet among you are some who are miserly. But whoever is miserly is miserly only to the depriving of his own soul. Allah is the All-Wealthy and Self-Sufficient absolutely independent of any need, and you are the poor in need of Him. If you turn away, He will substitute in your stead another people; then they will not be like you.
