بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

33.72

اِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْاَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ الْجِبَالِ فَاَبَیْنَ اَنْ یَّحْمِلْنَهَا وَ اَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَ حَمَلَهَا الْاِنْسَانُؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ ظَلُوْمًا جَهُوْلًاۙ (72)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, We offered the trust to the heavens, earth, and the mountains, but theyrefused to bear it, fearing it. [1] Yet, man accepted it ˹for˺ he is most wrongful ˹to himself and˺ very naïve.

Commentary

The exegetes were divided as to the meaning of “trust” in this context. Two prominent views are: 1. It refers to obedience and obligations which Allah Almighty presented to His people. These were presented to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, who were told that they would be rewarded upon their fulfilment and punished upon their neglect; 2. It refers to performing salah, paying zakat, fasting in Ramadan, performing hajj, speaking the truth, justly weighing items, and dealing fairly with people’s entrusted items.
