Al-An'am 152: Until they reach an age of maturity, approach the wealth of orphans only in the best manner. And be just in measure and weight. We only load everyone with which they can carry. When you say a word, even if it is your closest ones, be just and fulfill the covenant (word) of Allah. And Allah Commands you with these so that you will contemplate.

On page 148, verse 152, let's explain this one too and end our lesson. "Until he reaches the age of maturity," until the children reach mental maturity, "approach the orphan's property only in the best manner," it says. Approach the orphan's property in the best way. What is the best way? The child's property, it says, put the orphan's property to work, so that zakat doesn't eat it up, it says. Put it to work, so that zakat doesn't eat it up. In another verse too, Allah Almighty: if you are in need, He says, put the orphan's property to work, and from what it earns, He says, you too eat from it as much as you need, He says. How nicely Allah Almighty puts it; He protects everyone here.

Because those He created are all His servants; He loves all His servants. But as for the rebellious, although He gives them provision, He will punish them in the hereafter. Yes. "Until he reaches the age of maturity, approach the orphan's property only in the best manner. Give measure and weight with justice."

The people of Salih, when taking, took extra, and when giving, gave short. When Hazrat Salih told them they were cheating, 'if it were not for your tribe' we would have killed you. Yes. "We burden no one beyond what he can bear," it says. Look how nice. As much as he can bear. So when people are struck by a calamity: oh no, I'm burned, I'm done, reduced to ashes, sir, I'm ruined. Allah doesn't give you anything beyond your strength. Just surrender yourself to Allah like that. Let's see, Allah has many unknown doors. Where you are at an end, He opens another door for you. From a place you'd never think of, He (?) you.

Sir, He brings you to safety.

But people don't have this thought, this patience.

"When you speak, be just, even if it concerns your relatives," it says. That is, when I'm going to bear witness, if my father has committed a crime: yes, this one is guilty. This man said such and such. "And what are you saying? I am your father." "I am speaking the word of Allah, who is your Lord and my Lord too," he said. With justice. You are my father. I respect you. But my respect for Allah is that you, too, obey Him.

Yes. That's why when you speak, even if it's your relative, I will tell the truth.

"Keep the promise you gave to Allah."

That is, here it's not the covenant. An oath: when you swear an oath, keep your word, it says. Don't take Allah lightly.

"These He commands you so that you reflect well," it says. Now here we'll explain the mistakes. Until he reaches the age of maturity, approach the orphan's property only in the best manner. Give measure and weight with justice. We burden no one beyond what he can bear. When you speak, be just, even if it concerns your relatives. Allah's covenant, that is, His word, fulfil it, that is, fulfil Allah's commands, His religious rulings. So, Allah commands you these so that you reflect well.
