Transliteration:( Kutiba alaikumulqitaalu wa huwa kurhullakum wa 'asaaa an takrahoo shai'anw wa huwa khairullakum wa 'asaaa an tuhibbo shai'anw wa huwa sharrullakum; wallaahu ya'lamu wa antum laa ta'lamoon )
505. The word 'disliked means disliked by ones inner self and not by the Beloved Companionsas they never disliked any Divine Order. Disapproval is an act of heresy, and kufr. From this
we learn that JIHAD (fighting in the way of Allah), is compulsory only when all its conditions are satisfied. Sometimes Jihad becomes Fard-e-Kifaya - (if few take part in it the rest will be absolved of its obligation i.e. a general obligation, sometimes it is Farde-Ayn (implicit obligation) from which none is absolved. Further, it should be borne in mind that to satisfy the requirements of an obligation, becomes obligatory too, when Jihad becomes obligatory the reparations for it become obligatory as well. Allah Almighty says:"And keep ready for them the strength you can......" (S8: V60).
506. Man should not become dissatisfied with Allah when he is afflicted by material problems or when his prayer is unanswered. On the contrary he should realize that something good lies therein for him e.g. a patient asks for sweet medicine but the doctor provides him with bitter medicine.
215. They ask you (O Muhammad ) what they should spend. Say: “Whatever you spend of good must be for parents and kindred and orphans and Al-Masakin (the poor) and the wayfarer, and whatever you do of good deeds, truly, Allah knows it well.â€
Muqatil bin Hayyan said that this Ayah was revealed about the voluntary charity. The Ayah means, `They ask you (O Muhammad ) how they should spend,’ as Ibn `Abbas and Mujahid have stated. So, Allah explained it for them, saying:
(Say: “Whatever you spend of good must be for parents and kindred and orphans and Al-Masakin and the wayfarer,â€) meaning, spend it on these categories or areas. Similarly, a Hadith states (that those who deserve one’s generosity the most, are):
(Your mother, father, sister, brother, the closest and then the farthest (relatives).)
Maymun bin Mihran once recited this Ayah (2:215) and commented, “These are the areas of spending. Allah did not mention among them the drums, pipe, wooden pictures, or the curtains that cover the walls.â€
Next, Allah said:
(…and whatever you do of good deeds, truly, Allah knows it well.) meaning, whatever you perform of good works, Allah knows them and He will reward you for them in the best manner, no one will be dealt with unjustly, even the weight of an atom.
