ترجمة معاني آية: (141) سورة: الأنعام
۞ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ جَنَّٰتٖ مَّعۡرُوشَٰتٖ وَغَيۡرَ مَعۡرُوشَٰتٖ وَٱلنَّخۡلَ وَٱلزَّرۡعَ مُخۡتَلِفًا أُكُلُهُۥ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَٰبِهٗا وَغَيۡرَ مُتَشَٰبِهٖۚ كُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦٓ إِذَآ أَثۡمَرَ وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُۥ يَوۡمَ حَصَادِهِۦۖ وَلَا تُسۡرِفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
(141) [1510]He is the One Who fashioned gardens, trellised and untrellised[1511], palm dates and greenery of various edibles[1512], and olive and pomegranate resembling each other but are not similar[1513], eat ˹you˺ of its fruits when it yields[1514] and give out the given right[1515] out of it on the day of its harvest; and do not squander, for He does not like the squanderers.
[1510] This passage explains the ruling regarding God’s provisions to humans in contrast with the pagan way which falls in the footsteps of man’s arch-enemy, Satan (cf. Abū Ḥayyān, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[1511] The creation of gardens of all sorts is God’s own doing. He created all those plants; those that crawl on the ground which need to be trellised for support and those which stand on their own (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Saʿdī). Even those gardens that humans tend by supporting their plants to enhance the produce are in essence God made.
[1512] Indicating Almighty God’s bountiful Generosity and His awe-inspiring Ability of creation (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[1513] This segment of the aya is parallel to an almost similar one found in Aya 99 above. However the difference is very subtle and scholars provide a number of readings. Whereas the previous one uses the adjective mushtabih (confusingly resembling each other) to qualify olives and pomegranates, this one uses the less intensified adjective mutashābih (resembling each other). Aya 99 comes within the context of expounding God’s Signs which lead to realizing His Omnipotence and this requires that one take a close look around trying to read even the smallest of signs as opposed to the cosmic signs which were spoken about many times earlier in the sura. What is meant there is to look at the trees, especially the saplings as alluded to in the aya, of olive and pomegranate which look closely similar but the produce is wholly different in terms of shape and taste. Once one is ‘confused’ by such resemblance, one is more likely to ask questions about the subtlety of the creation and thus the Ability of the Creator, Who is, to say the least, a far cry from the idols they hold as gods. However, this aya deals with God’s provision of fruits and the best manner of dealing with them, so looking at the trees themselves when they bear fruits is no longer ‘confusingly’ similar since their fruits are not alike. In Aya 99 God commands: “Look!” whereas here He bids: “Eat!” (cf. al-Rāzī, Tafsīr al-Madīnah al-Munawwarah).
[1514] This is the reason why these fruits have been created; to be consumed and not to be declared unlawful by and for some (cf. al-Rāzī).
[1515] Their ‘right’ is the zakah (prescribed alms), which is to be given out readily without delay (cf. Ibn Kathīr, al-Shinqīṭī). Those who do not give out this God-given right will soon be afflicted: “Indeed, We have tested them ˹Makkans˺ as We tested the owners of the garden – when they swore they would surely harvest ˹all˺ its fruit in the early morning, *and they made no exception. *Whereupon a visitation from your Lord came upon that ˹garden˺ while they were asleep, *and by morning it was stripped bare, a desolate land. *Then by daybreak they called out to each other, *saying: “Rush early to your harvest, if you are bent on picking ˹all˺ the fruit. *They hurried off muttering to one another: *“Do not let any poor person enter your garden today.” *They left early, bent on their purpose. *But when they saw it ˹devastated˺, they cried, “We must have lost our way! Nay! But we are made to suffer privation” (68: 17-28).
