    📖 Commentary (Tafsir) of Chapter – Surah At-Tawbah Verse 54

    And what prevented their expenditures from being accepted was only that they denied [149] Allah and His Messenger. And they come to prayer lazily [150] and spend only unwillingly [151].

    ✅ 149. Denial of Allah and His Messenger

    This verse teaches that the worship of one who denies Allah and His Messenger is unacceptable.
    Like a branch cannot bear fruit unless connected to the root, good deeds must be rooted in sincere servitude to the Holy Prophet ﷺ for acceptance.

    ✅ 150. Laziness in Prayer

    Performing prayer negligently is a characteristic of hypocrites.
    From this we derive several legal and spiritual lessons:

    • Performing prayer at the last moment.

    • Habitually praying without congregation.

    • Praying bare-headed, with unbuttoned shirts, or folded sleeves.
      These reflect negligence and are undesirable acts in Salah.

    ✅ 151. Spending Unwillingly

    Hypocrites give charity unwillingly because they do not truly believe in its reward.
    Their spending is to hide hypocrisy or seek worldly favors.
    Charity given for pride or to avoid mockery will not be rewarded by Allah.

    Ibn-Kathir

    (9:54) Nothing prevents that their expendings be accepted except that they disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger, and whenever they come to the Prayer they do so lazily, and whenever they spend they do so grudgingly.

    (54) And what prevents their expenditures from being accepted from them but that they have disbelieved in Allāh and in His Messenger and that they come not to prayer except while they are lazy and that they do not spend except while they are unwilling.
