Surah Maarij ayat 18 Tafsir Quran 70:18

﴿وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰ﴾
[ المعارج: 18]

70:18 And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

and amassed wealth then hoarded keeping it in containers and refraining from paying from it what is God’s due.

Who hoarded wealth and denied it those who deserved alms, for alms are but the vehicles of prayer

(70:18) and amassed wealth and covetously hoarded it. *12

And collected [wealth] and hoarded. meaning

*12) Here also, as in Al-Haaqqah: 33-34, two causes have been mentioned of a person's evil end in the Hereafter: ( 1 ) His repudiation of the Truth and refusal to affirm faith; and ( 2 ) his worship of the world and stinginess because of which he amasses wealth and refuses to spend it on any good cause.

 

( And hoarded (wealth )) in the life of the world ( and withheld it ) he put it in a container and refused to give the right of Allah which is due from it.

And collect (wealth) and hide it (from spending it in the Cause of Allah).
