Câu: 10

وَأَنفِقُواْ مِن مَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوۡلَآ أَخَّرۡتَنِيٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ قَرِيبٖ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

10. Spend (for the Cause of Allah) out of what We have given you, before death approaches you, and say: "Lord, if only You would delay me to a near term, so I would give charity and be among the righteous"⁵.

5. The basic meaning of “righteous” is conforming with the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The righteous are people who have entered into covenant with Allah by faith and seek to live according to His Word. They may do unrighteous things at times, but they know to find forgiveness because they want to do what is right. In contrast, the wicked are those who don’t love Allah (God), or reject God’s laws, or those committed to violence and oppression. When reading the Qur’an and the Sunnah, it’s important to differentiate between righteous living and righteous standing - the righteousness God gives people who live by faith. Righteous living without faith (simply keeping a certain moral code) never leads to righteous standing, whereas righteous standing based on faith always leads to righteous living. Just keeping a moral code cannot lead to righteous standing because no person is sinless and Allah gives righteous standing to only those with faith in Him and His messenger Muhammad.
