Explanatory Note
If they are urged to be charitable and to give to the poor a portion of what God has provided for them, they say in ridicule:
“Are we to feed those whom God could have fed, had He so willed?” (Verse 47)
They would even be impolite in their reply to those calling on them to be charitable, saying:
“Clearly, you are lost in error.” (Verse 47)
Viewing the matter in such a mechanical way betrays their ignorance of the law God has set for human life. It is God who feeds and provides for All the provisions that people receive on earth are created by Him. They cannot create any of that; indeed, they cannot create anything whatsoever. It is God’s will that people should have needs which they cannot attain to without hard work, such as planting the earth, extracting its raw material to manufacture things, transporting its produce from place to place, offering such produce in return for other products or for money, etc. It is also His will that people differ in their talents and abilities to ensure that everything needed to fulfil man’s task of building human life on earth is available. The accomplishment of this task not only needs talents and abilities that earn money and produce wealth; it also requires others that can meet different human needs, without earning money. This makes for a complex human society, in which people have different lots in a bustling world, and across generations. However, the resulting differences of the means available to different people does not lead to the ruination of life and society. In fact it is a by-product of life’s movement.

Sayyid Qutb Overview (Verses 43 - 48) “If such be Our will, We may cause them to drown, with none to respond to their cries for help, and then they cannot be saved, unless it be by an act of mercy from Us, leaving them to enjoy life for a while.” (Verses 43-44) Large, heavy and carefully built as it may be, a ship in water is like a feather in the air: it can disappear and perish in a moment, unless it is protected by God’s grace. People who have crossed oceans, whether in a boat with sails or in a large vessel, appreciate the danger represented by the sea and the little protection there is, should a storm ensue. They recognize that only God’s grace provides protection in the midst of storms and currents that run over the sea, which is after all a creature controlled only by God’s caring hand. But all this applies ‘for a while,’ only until the time God has set arrives. What Opens Sealed Hearts Clear and inspiring as these signs are, people continue to pay little heed. Their hearts remain closed and they persist in ridicule and denial, hastening the end against which God’s messengers have warned them: When they are told: ‘Beware of that which lies before you and behind you, so that you may be graced with His mercy,’ [they pay no heed]. Every single sign that comes to them from their Lord do they ignore. And when they are told: ‘Give [in charity] out of what God has provided for you,’ the unbelievers say to those who believe: Are we to feed those whom God could have fed, had He so willed? Clearly, you are lost in error.’ They also ask: ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say be true?’ (Verses 45-48) |
