بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

16.75

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوْكًا لَّا یَقْدِرُ عَلٰى شَیْءٍ وَّ مَنْ رَّزَقْنٰهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ یُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَّ جَهْرًاؕ-هَلْ یَسْتَوٗنَؕ-اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِؕ-بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(75)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Allah has explained an example; there is a slave, he himself is the property of another, he does not have power over anything, and another upon whom We have bestowed a good livelihood from Us, he therefore spends from it; secretly and openly. Will they be equal? All praise is due to Allah. Rather, most of them know not.

Commentary

The summary of the example that has been mentioned in this verse is that: There is an individual who is a slave himself and he has no power over anything due to not being a master, whereas, there is another individual to whom Allah Almighty has granted an excellent sustenance and he spends from it secretly and publicly; he spends from it however he wishes. The first individual is incapable, owned and a slave, whereas the other is free, an owner, wealthy and possesses power and authority too; so, will both of them become equal? Never. Thus, if a slave and free person cannot be equal even though both of them are slaves of Allah Almighty, then how can the idols which have no power nor authority be partners with the Creator, the Owner and the All-Powerful Lord; and what great injustice and ignorance it is to liken them to Allah Almighty.
