فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِؕ-وَ یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْیَتٰمٰىؕ-قُلْ اِصْلَاحٌ لَّهُمْ خَیْرٌؕ-وَ اِنْ تُخَالِطُوْهُمْ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِؕ-وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَاَعْنَتَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(220)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

˹Reflect˺ in matters of the world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about the orphans. Say, “To rectify in their favour is better for them.[1] And if you combine your finances with theirs (their share), then they are your brothers. And Allah distinguishes between the one who ruins and the one who rectifies,[2] and had Allah wanted, he could have burdened you. Indeed, Allah is Almighty, Most-Wise.

Commentary

[1]

Although this verse specifically mentions financial support for orphans, it includes all matters of support and edification; character, actions, upbringing, and education. Orphans are like the children of the Muslim nation.

[2]

This statement is most comprehensive and suffices in providing guidance for many aspects of life. When a good and bad intention can be made in any matter, others may be unaware of the bad intent but Allah Almighty knows.
