[24,25] After physical worship, financial worship is mentioned.
(Ma‘lūm) – What is meant here is a legally established amount, whether it is obligatory or required, whether it pertains to the rights of Allah or the rights of people—this is general.
(Lissā’il) – Refers to those who openly express their need.
(Wal-maḥrūm) – The maḥrūm is someone who does not reveal their need, and thus, is often not given anything.
[26] Belief in the Day of Recompense necessitates doing good deeds in preparation for the Day of Judgment. It also implies sincerity in both physical and financial acts of worship, which is why acts of worship are mentioned afterward.
Taṣdīq (affirmation) is broader than yaqīn (certainty); it means that the person not only believes in the Hereafter himself but also says “We believe and affirm” even when someone else informs him about it. Yaqīn refers merely to having belief, while taṣdīq includes openly affirming it.
[27,28] The previous trait referred to obedience due to certainty in the Day of Judgment, while this trait refers to avoiding sins out of fear of punishment.
(Mushfiqūn) – This is a type of fear whose effects are visibly apparent, and it is a fear that involves longing (for Allah’s mercy).
(Inna ‘adhāba) – This is the reasoning for the previous point: no one should feel secure from Allah’s punishment just because of their acts of obedience, because no one can do favors to Allah through their worship.
Indeed, becoming unconcerned about Allah’s punishment is the behavior of losers, as mentioned in Sūrah al-A‘rāf (7:99).
[29,30,31] Earlier, internal deeds were mentioned—namely affirmation (taṣdīq) and fear (ishfāq). Now, the act of guarding one’s chastity is mentioned.
Protection (ḥifāẓ) here is general—it includes covering oneself and protecting from immoral acts.
“What their right hands possess” (mā malakat) is mentioned alongside spouses (azwāj), indicating that it is permissible to benefit from a slave woman without formal marriage.
(Warā’a dhālik) – This includes every form of lust outside lawful marriage or ownership, such as fornication, relations with men, temporary marriage (mut‘ah), exchange marriages (shighār), etc.
(Al-‘Ādūn) – Derived from ‘udwān (transgression), referring to those who go beyond lawful limits.
[32] (Li-amānātihim) – Every responsibility placed upon a person, whether from Allah the Exalted or from people, is called a trust (amānah).
Every contract or agreement that both parties commit to is called a covenant (‘ahd), whether it is a covenant with Allah or with His servants.
