Surah Nisa ayat 36 Tafsir Quran 4:36

﴿۞ وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ۖ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْجَارِ ذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا﴾
[ النساء: 36]

4:36 Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.

And worship God declare His Oneness and associate nothing with Him. Be kind to parents being dutiful and gentle-mannered and near kindred and to orphans and to the needy and to the neighbour who is near to you in terms of physical vicinity or kinship and to the neighbour who is a stranger the one far from you in terms of physical vicinity or kinship; and to the friend at your side a travelling companion or a colleague at work and it is also said one’s wife; and to the wayfarer the one cut off during a journey and to what your right hands own of bondsmen. Surely God loves not the conceited the arrogant and the boastful the one who boasts before people of what he has been given.

And worship Allah and do not incorporate with Him other deities, and commit your parents to your kind care and display to them and to the kindred who are related by blood and to the orphans a friendly and kind disposition. A similar disposition is extended to the poor and to the neighbour related or immediate, to the associate and to the wayfarer, and to those on-hand, whether they be captives or reduced to servile state. And do realize that Allah detests every boastful who exalts himself unduly and displays inordinate self-esteem

The Order to Worship Allah Alone and to Be Dutiful to Parents Allah orders that He be worshipped Alone without partners, because He Alone is the Creator and Sustainer Who sends His favors and bounties on His creation in all situations and instances.
Therefore He deserves to be singled out, without associating anything or anyone from His creation with Him in worship.
Indeed, the Prophet said to Mu`adh,
«أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟»
( Do you know what Allah's right on His servants is ) Mu`adh replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He said,
«أنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا»
( That they should worship Him and should not worship any others with Him. ) The Prophet then said,
«أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُم»
( Do you know what the right of the servants on Allah is if they do this He should not punish them. ) Allah then commands the servants to be dutiful to their parents, for Allah made parents the reason for the servants to come to existence, after they did not exist.
Allah joins the order to worship Him with being dutiful to parents in many places.
For example, He said, أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِى وَلِوَلِدَيْكَ ( give thanks to Me and to your parents ), and, وَقَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّـهُ وَبِالْوَلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـناً ( And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.
And that you be dutiful to your parents ).
After Allah ordained being dutiful to parents, He ordained kind treatment of relatives, males and females.
A Hadith states,
«الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَعَلى ذِي الرَّحِمِ صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَة»
( Charity given to the poor is Sadaqah, while charity given to relatives is both Sadaqah and Silah (keeping the relations ).) Allah then said, وَالْيَتَـمَى ( orphans ), because they lost their caretakers who would spend on them.
So Allah commands that the orphans be treated with kindness and compassion.
Allah then said, وَالْمَسَـكِينُ ( Al-Masakin (the poor )) who have various needs and cannot find what sustains these needs.
Therefore, Allah commands they should be helped in acquiring their needs in a sufficient manner that will end their inadequacy.
We will further elaborate on the matter of the destitute and the poor in Surah Bara'h ( 9:60 ). The Right of the Neighbor Allah said, وَالْجَارِ ذِى الْقُرْبَى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ ( the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is a stranger ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said that, وَالْجَارِ ذِى الْقُرْبَى ( the neighbor who is near of kin ) means, "The neighbor who is also a relative", while, وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ ( The neighbor who is a stranger ) means, "Who is not a relative." It was also reported that `Ikrimah, Mujahid, Maymun bin Mihran, Ad-Dahhak, Zayd bin Aslam, Muqatil bin Hayyan and Qatadah said similarly.
Mujahid was also reported to have said that Allah's statement, وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ ( the neighbor who is a stranger ) means, "The companion during travel." There are many Hadiths that command kind treatment to the neighbors, and we will mention some of them here with Allah's help.
The First Hadith Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Umar said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«مَازَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُه»
( Jibril kept reminding of the neighbor's right, until I thought that he was going to give him a share of the inheritance. ) The Two Sahihs recorded this Hadith.
The Second Hadith Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«مَازَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُه»
( Jibril kept reminding me of the neighbor's right, until I thought he was going to appoint a share of the inheritance for him. ) Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi recorded this Hadith, which At-Tirmidhi said was "Hasan Gharib through this route." The Third Hadith Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As said that the Prophet said,
«خَيْرُ الْأَصْحَابِ عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَخَيْرُ الْجِيرَانِ عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِجَارِه»
( The best companions according to Allah are those who are the best with their friends, and the best neighbors according to Allah are the best with their neighbors. ) At-Tirmidhi recorded this Hadith and said, "Hasan Gharib".
The Fourth Hadith Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked his Companions,
«مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الزِّنَا؟»
( What do you say about adultery ) They said, "It is prohibited, for Allah and His Messenger have prohibited it.
So it is forbidden until the Day of Resurrection." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«لَأَنْ يَزْنِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِعَشْرِ نِسْوَةٍ، أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ بِامْرَأَةِ جَارِه»
( For a man to commit adultery with his neighbor's wife is worse than if he commits adultery with ten women. ) He then said,
«مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي السَّرِقَةِ؟»
( What do you say about theft ) They said, "It is prohibited, for Allah and His Messenger prohibited it." He said,
«لَأَنْ يَسْرِقَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ عَشْرَةِ أَبْيَاتٍ، أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْرِقَ مِنْ جَارِه»
( If a man steals from his neighbor, it is worse for him than stealing from ten homes. ) Only Ahmad recorded this Hadith.
A similar Hadith is recorded in the Two Sahihs, Ibn Mas`ud said, "I asked, `O Allah's Messenger! What is the greatest sin' He said,
«أَنْ تَجْعَلَ للهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَك»
( To make a rival for Allah while He Alone created you. ) I said, `Then' He said,
«أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَك»
( To kill your offspring for fear that he might share your food with you. ) I said, `Then' He said,
«أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِك»
( To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife. )" The Fifth Hadith Imam Ahmad recorded that `A'ishah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "I have two neighbors, so whom among them should I give my gift" He said,
«إِلى أَقْرَبِهِمَا مِنْكِ بَابًا»
( The neighbor whose door is the closest to you. ) Al-Bukhari narrated this Hadith We will elaborate on this subject in the Tafsir of Surah Bara'h, Allah willing and upon Him we depend. Being Kind to Slaves and Servants Allah said, وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـنُكُمْ ( and those (slaves ) whom your right hands possess,) this is an order to be kind to them because they are weak, being held as captives by others.
An authentic Hadith records that during the illness that preceded his death, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued advising his Ummah:
«الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُم»
( (Protect ) the prayer, ( protect ) the prayer, and ( those slaves ) whom your hands possess.) He was repeating it until his tongue was still.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Miqdam bin Ma`dykarib said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«مَا أَطْعَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ وَلَدَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ زَوْجَتَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ خَادِمَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَة»
( What you feed yourself is a Sadaqah (charity ) for you, what you feed your children is Sadaqah for you, what you feed your wife is Sadaqah for you and what you feed your servant is Sadaqah for you.) An-Nasa'i recorded this Hadith which has an authentic chain of narration, all the thanks are due to Allah.
`Abdullah bin `Amr said to a caretaker of his, "Did you give the slaves their food yet" He said, "No." Ibn `Amr said, "Go and give it to them, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يَحْبِسَ عَمَّنْ يَمْلِكُ قُوتَهُم»
( It is enough sin for someone to prevent whomever he is responsible for from getting their food.
)" Muslim recorded this Hadith.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said,
«لِلْمَمْلُوكِ طَعَامُهُ وَكِسْوَتُهُ، وَلَا يُكَلَّفُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ إِلَّا مَا يُطِيق»
( The slave has the right to have food, clothing and to only be required to perform what he can bear of work. ) Muslim also recorded this Hadith.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said,
«إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ بِطَعَامِه، فَإِنْ لَمْ يُجْلِسْهُ مَعَهُ فَلْيُنَاوِلْهُ لُقْمَةً أَوْ لُقْمَتَيْنِ أَوْ أُكْلَةً أَوْ أُكْلتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ وَلِيَ حَرَّهُ وَعِلَاجَه»
( When your servant brings meals to one of you, if he does not let him sit and share the meal, then he should at least give him a mouthful or two mouthfuls of that meal or a meal or two, for he has prepared it. ) This is the wording collected by Al-Bukhari. Allah Does Not Like the Arrogant Allah said, إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالاً فَخُوراً ( Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful. ) meaning, one who is proud and arrogant, insolent and boasts to others.
He thinks that he is better than other people, thus thinking high of himself, even though he is insignificant to Allah and hated by people.
Mujahid said that Allah's statement, إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالاً فَخُوراً ( Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud ) means arrogant, while, فَخُوراً ( boastful ) means boasting about what he has, while he does not thank Allah.
This Ayah indicates that such a person boasts with people about the bounty that Allah has given him, but he is actually ungrateful to Allah for this bounty.
Ibn Jarir recorded that `Abdullah bin Waqid Abu Raja' Al-Harawi said, "You will find that those who are mean are also proud and boasting.
He then recited, وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـنُكُمْ ( and those (slaves ) whom your right hands possess,) You will find that he who is undutiful ( to parents ) is also arrogant, and deprived.
He then recited, وَبَرّاً بِوَالِدَتِى وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِى جَبَّاراً شَقِيّاً ( And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, deprived. ) Once a man asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah, advise me.' The Prophet said,
«إيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ، فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَة»
( Avoid lengthening the dress (below the ankles ), for this practice is from arrogance.
Verily, Allah does not like arrogance.)"

(4:36) Serve Allah and ascribe no partner to Him. Do good to your parents, to near of kin, to orphans, and to the needy, and to the neighbour who is of kin and to the neighbour who is a stranger, and to the companion by your side, *62 and to the wayfarer, and to those whom your right hands possess. Allah does not love the arrogant and the boastful,

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, meaning

*62).
The expression al-sahib bi al-janb ( the companion by your side ) embraces those with whom one has friendly relations of an abiding nature as well as those with whom one's relationship is transient: for instance, either the person who walks beside one on the way to the market or who sits beside one while buying things from the same shop or one's fellow traveller.
Even this temporary relationship imposes certain claims on every refined and decent person - that he should treat him, as far as possible, in a kind and gracious manner and avoid causing him any inconvenience.

 

The Order to Worship Allah Alone and to Be Dutiful to Parents Allah orders that He be worshipped Alone without partners, because He Alone is the Creator and Sustainer Who sends His favors and bounties on His creation in all situations and instances.
Therefore He deserves to be singled out, without associating anything or anyone from His creation with Him in worship.
Indeed, the Prophet said to Mu`adh, «أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» ( Do you know what Allah's right on His servants is ) Mu`adh replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He said, «أنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ( That they should worship Him and should not worship any others with Him. ) The Prophet then said, «أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُم» ( Do you know what the right of the servants on Allah is if they do this He should not punish them. ) Allah then commands the servants to be dutiful to their parents, for Allah made parents the reason for the servants to come to existence, after they did not exist.
Allah joins the order to worship Him with being dutiful to parents in many places.
For example, He said, أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِى وَلِوَلِدَيْكَ ( give thanks to Me and to your parents ), and, وَقَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّـهُ وَبِالْوَلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـناً ( And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.
And that you be dutiful to your parents ).
After Allah ordained being dutiful to parents, He ordained kind treatment of relatives, males and females.
A Hadith states, «الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَعَلى ذِي الرَّحِمِ صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَة» ( Charity given to the poor is Sadaqah, while charity given to relatives is both Sadaqah and Silah (keeping the relations ).) Allah then said, وَالْيَتَـمَى ( orphans ), because they lost their caretakers who would spend on them.
So Allah commands that the orphans be treated with kindness and compassion.
Allah then said, وَالْمَسَـكِينُ ( Al-Masakin (the poor )) who have various needs and cannot find what sustains these needs.
Therefore, Allah commands they should be helped in acquiring their needs in a sufficient manner that will end their inadequacy.
We will further elaborate on the matter of the destitute and the poor in Surah Bara'h ( 9:60 ). The Right of the Neighbor Allah said, وَالْجَارِ ذِى الْقُرْبَى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ ( the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is a stranger ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said that, وَالْجَارِ ذِى الْقُرْبَى ( the neighbor who is near of kin ) means, "The neighbor who is also a relative", while, وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ ( The neighbor who is a stranger ) means, "Who is not a relative." It was also reported that `Ikrimah, Mujahid, Maymun bin Mihran, Ad-Dahhak, Zayd bin Aslam, Muqatil bin Hayyan and Qatadah said similarly.

He then recited, وَبَرّاً بِوَالِدَتِى وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِى جَبَّاراً شَقِيّاً ( And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, deprived. ) Once a man asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah, advise me.' The Prophet said, «إيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ، فَإِنَّ إِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَة» ( Avoid lengthening the dress (below the ankles ), for this practice is from arrogance.
Verily, Allah does not like arrogance.)"

( And serve Allah ) acknowledge His divine Oneness. ( Ascribe no thing ) no idol ( as partner unto Him. (Show ) kindness unto parents) be dutiful to parents, ( and unto near kindred ) Allah commands you to keep ties with your kin, ( and orphans ) He commands that you show kindness to orphans, and to protect their wealth, etc, ( and the needy ) and He enjoins giving alms to the needy, ( and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you )) the neighbour who also happen to be your relative has three rights over you: the right of kinship, the right of Islam, and the right of being a neighbour ( and the neighbour who is not of kin ) the neighbour who is not a relative has two rights: the right of Islam and the right of being a neighbour ( and the fellow traveller ) a fellow traveller has two rights: the right of Islam and the right of companionship; it is also said that this refers to one’s wife at home. Allah commands kindness towards her ( and the wayfarer ) Allah commands the honouring of guests. Honouring a guest for three days is the guest’s right. The honour bestowed on the guest after the third day is considered a charity on the part of the host; ( and (the slaves ) whom your right hands possess) Allah commands kindness towards slaves, males and females. ( Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud ) in their walking ( and boastful ) about the bounties of Allah, showing nothing but wantonness and arrogance towards Allah’s servants,
