Surah Nisa Ayat 37 meaning in urdu

اور ایسے لوگ بھی اللہ کو پسند نہیں ہیں جو کنجوسی کرتے ہیں اور دوسروں کو بھی کنجوسی کی ہدایت کرتے ہیں اور جو کچھ اللہ نے اپنے فضل سے انہیں دیا ہے اسے چھپاتے ہیں ایسے کافر نعمت لوگوں کے لیے ہم نے رسوا کن عذاب مہیا کر رکھا ہے

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(4:37) who are niggardly and bid others to be niggardly and conceal the bounty which Allah has bestowed upon them. *63 We have kept in readiness a humiliating chastisement for such deniers (of Allah's bounty).

Who are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess and conceal what meaning

*63). Concealing God's bounty is to live, as if God had not bestowed that bounty. If anyone has considerable wealth and yet lives at a standard strikingly lower than that warranted by his income, if he shuns spending on himself and his family, and also on helping other creatures of God, and avoids providing financial support to any philanthropic cause, then he creates the false impression of being in a state of financial stringency. This is sheer ingratitude to God. The Prophet (peace be on him) is reported, according to a tradition, as saying: 'If God confers a bounty on somebody, He would like to see that benefaction displayed.' (Ibn Kathir, vol. 4, p. 486 - Ed.) This means that a person's day-to-day life, his eating and drinking, his dress and his abode and his spending on others, all these should reflect God's bounty.
