English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
English - Five Volume Translation
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
Important Words:
جما (exceeding). جم الماء means, the water became much or abundant. جموا means, they became many. جاؤا جما کثیرا means, they came all of them, none of them remaining behind. مال جم means, much property. جم means, plenty, abundance; exceeding; numerous (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
Taken along with the preceding three verses, the verse under comment drives home to hoarders of wealth the evils of hoarding and says to them in effect: "You have been given wealth in abundance not as of right or as the result of superior intellect; you should not, therefore, feel injured or humiliated when you are deprived of it. It is given to you that you should spend it to meet the needs of the orphans and the poor, but you squander it in immoral pursuits, depriving others of their rights in it, or else you hoard it and refuse to spend it in noble causes." In fact inordinate love of money leads to three inevitable results: (a) It creates in man an excessive desire to keep on adding to his wealth, without spending it on good causes or on meeting the needs of the orphans and the poor. (b) It makes him careless about whether he acquires wealth by fair or by dishonest means. (c) In time of national peril, fear of possible success of the enemy renders his loyalty to his country doubtful. With the desire, in such an eventuality, to keep his life and property safe he does not take an active part in his country’s defence. These are the main causes that lead to the destruction of a people. Islam takes as much care of the moral health of society as it takes of that of the individual; and society’s health requires that material goods be widely distributed and wealth kept in easy circulation.
