But save him who fears
He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq)
and from which the most godfearing shall be removed,
For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God:
And avoid it shall the most pious,
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious and righteous - see V. 2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
But the devout will avoid it.
But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it,
And those with Taqwa will be far removed from it.
Far removed from it will be the righteous
The Godwary [person] will be spared of that
and from which the cautious shall be distanced.
But the righteous one will avoid it -
The pious ones who spend for the cause of God
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuh<u>a</u> alatq<u>a</u>
One who fears God shall be kept away from it --
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
The most Allah-conscious of the people will be distanced from it, i.e. Abu Bakr.
The most Allah-conscious of the people will be distanced from it, i.e. Abu Bakr.
<p>وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ (And saved from it will be the most God-fearing one who gives his wealth [ in charity ] to become purified,....92:17-18). This verse describes the reward of the most God-fearing person, as opposed to the punishment of the most wretched in the preceding verse. The word atqa is the superlative form and signifies a man of taqwa, that is, the most God-fearing person, who spends his wealth in obedience of his Lord in order to purify himself from sins, will be kept far away from the fire of Hell.</p><p>The wordings of the verse give good news, in general, to anyone who spends in Allah's cause in a state of faith, but the occasion of revelation indicates that atqa refers to Sayyidna Abu Bakr As-Siddiq ؓ in particular. Ibn Abi Hatim reports from Sayyidna 'Urwah ؓ that seven Muslims had been enslaved by the Makkan disbelievers. When they became Muslims, they were persecuted in a variety of ways. Sayyidna Abu Bakr ؓ spent a great amount of his money, and purchased them and set them free. Verses [ 17-21] were revealed on this occasion. [ Mazhari ]</p>
