(p-275) Surah Al-Din, also known as 'Have you seen?' and 'The Denial' and 'The Small Kindnesses'. Its purpose is to alert to the fact that denial of resurrection for the sake of recompense is the father of all evils. For it leads the denier to the worst of morals and the most abominable actions, until disdain for the great becomes a trait of his, and he becomes among those who have no share in goodness. Each of its four names is extremely clear in indicating this upon reflecting on the surah to know these mentioned matters. It explicitly forbids the abominable actions, while inviting to the noble qualities through its understanding and hinting at 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful', whose greatness is exalted above any blemish of deficiency, thus He possesses all perfection. 'The Most Gracious', whose grace encompasses both the good-doer and the wrongdoer, thus He has overwhelmed all with His bounty. 'The Most Merciful', who has specifically bestowed upon His allies the completion of His blessings, granting them the bliss of connection. * * When He, glorified and exalted is He, informed about His action with them of vengeance against those who transgressed His limits concerning them, and of gentleness towards them with what is the utmost in wisdom, it became known that the doer of this does not leave the people without recompense. He commanded the last of Quraysh to thank Him for His blessings by dedicating worship to Him. He made it known to them at the beginning that this cannot be achieved except by believing in the recompense that leads to the noble morals and forbids the vices. He was astonished at those who deny the recompense despite the clarity of the evidence for it by the wisdom of the All-Wise. He described the denier with attributes that they are from which they are in the utmost aversion, and portrayed him in the most hideous form, urging them to believe and deterring them from denial. He spoke specifically to the head of the nation, indicating that no one other than him can truly understand this matter: 'Have you seen?' meaning inform me, O most complete of creation, 'the one who denies?' meaning he brings about denial for whoever informs him, regardless of who it is, 'of the religion?' meaning the recompense that will occur on the Day of Resurrection, which is the focal point of wisdom and the ultimate goal of the obligatory religion that commands noble morals and forbids their evils. Whoever denies one of them has denied the other. And since the act of seeing means informing me, which requires two objects, the estimation of the second object is: Is he not deserving of vengeance from Him?

And Imam Abu Ja'far ibn al-Zubayr said: When the preceding surahs included warnings for those who harbor what is mentioned in them, which is in accordance with the ruling of ignorance and injustice inherent in human nature, as indicated by His saying: ﴿Indeed, man is ungrateful to his Lord﴾ [Al-Adiyat: 6] ﴿Indeed, man is in loss﴾ [Al-Asr: 2] ﴿He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal﴾ [Al-Humazah: 3] and during this, what these initial attributes provoke is also mentioned, such as being preoccupied with competition in wealth, slandering people, and belittling them, and the destructive arrogance of the companions of the elephant. He followed that by mentioning attributes that may exist among those who claim to be Muslims, or some of them, or the actions of those who possess them even if they are not among its people, such as mistreating the orphan, which is denying him his right and not being kind to him, and not encouraging the feeding of the poor, and neglecting the prayer and being heedless of it, and showing off in deeds, and zakat, and the needs that people are compelled to rely on each other for. It can be included in the ambiguity of al-Ma'un, all of this, and there is no doubt that these attributes exist among those who identify as Muslims. So, He, glorified and exalted is He, informed that this is among the attributes of those who deny the Day of Judgment and do not await the reward and reckoning, meaning that these are indeed its people. And among this category is His saying, blessings and peace be upon him: 'There are four traits; whoever possesses them is a pure hypocrite.' And His saying, blessings and peace be upon him: 'A fornicator does not fornicate while he is a believer.' This topic is abundant in the Book and the Sunnah, and I have elaborated on it in the book 'Clarifying the Path from the Hadith of the Question of Jibril.' So, among this category, in my view - and Allah knows best - is His saying, glorified and exalted is He: ﴿Have you seen the one who denies the religion?﴾ ﴿So that is the one who drives away the orphan﴾ [Al-Ma'un: 2], meaning that these attributes of driving away the orphan and being distant from compassion towards him, and not encouraging feeding him, and being heedless of the prayer, and showing off in deeds, and withholding needs, all of this is characteristic of the one who denies accountability and reward. For the benefit of distancing oneself from them is only then, so whoever believes in it acts in accordance with these traits on the path of the praiseworthy and the blessed effort, and whoever denies it does not care for them and embraces all of them. So, O believers, keep yourselves away from them, for they are not among your attributes in the essence of your faith that you pledged upon. Whoever resembles a people is indeed one of them. So beware of these vices, for driving away the orphan is from the arrogance that destroyed the companions of the elephant, and not encouraging feeding him is indeed the act of the miser who thinks that his wealth will make him immortal, and being heedless of the prayers is among the fruits of being preoccupied with competition in wealth, and being busy with money and children. So He prohibited His servants from these messages that are produced by what has preceded and the surahs have converged - it has ended.
