Transliteration:( Ayahsabu al lam yarahooo ahad )
This verse addresses the infidels’ misconception that Allah Almighty is not aware of their deeds, intentions, and desires. It serves as a reminder that Allah is aware of everything — not just our actions but also the intentions behind them.
Key Points:
Accountability Before Allah:
Wealth and Intention:
The Analogy of Seed and Water:
Without both, the "seed" (i.e., the act of charity) will not grow into something fruitful and beneficial.
Lessons to Learn:
Intention is Key: When giving charity or spending wealth, one must ensure their intentions are pure and aimed at pleasing Allah. Good intentions act as the driving force behind the act of charity, making it meaningful and valuable in Allah's eyes.
Proper Spending: Wealth should be spent wisely and on worthy causes. Like planting seeds in fertile ground, charity must be directed toward good causes for it to grow and yield rewards.
Nothing is Hidden from Allah: The verse underscores that Allah sees not only what we do, but also why we do it. Our actions are judged by the intentions behind them, and this is a reminder to always act with sincerity.
The tafsir of Surah Balad verse 7 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Balad ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 10.
(90:7) Does he believe that none has seen him?[8]
8. That is, doesn’t this boaster understand that there is also a God above him, Who sees by what means he obtained this wealth, in what ways he spent it, and with what intention, motive, and purpose he did all this? Does he think that God will put any value on his extravagance, his fame-mongering and his boasting. Does he think that like the world, God too will be deluded by it.
