and the charity you give seeking the pleasure of Allah – only that will increase manifold.

Regarding this blessed verse, Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan     عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـمَنَّانْ has said: This blessed verse is commanding (us) to fulfil the rights of all relatives. It has become obvious that every relative has a right; it includes all the relatives. It has also been learnt from this verse that one should not treat relatives and give Sadaqah (charity) just to show off (ostentation) and as a part of custom, but do so for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, only then he will deserve to have rewards.

At another place, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:

وَ اتَّقُوا    اللّٰہَ     الَّذِیۡ    تَسَآءَلُوۡنَ    بِہٖ    وَ الۡاَرۡحَامَ    ؕ    اِنَّ    اللّٰہَ    کَانَ   عَلَیۡکُمۡ    رَقِیۡبًا  ﴿۱﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Fear Allah in Whose name you claim (your rights from one another) and be mindful of your blood relations; indeed Allah is always seeing you.

Regarding this blessed verse, Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan     عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـمَنَّان has stated: The way Salah, Fasting, Hajj, Zakah etc. are necessary for Muslims, similarly, it is also extremely necessary to fulfil the rights of relatives. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further said: It is very effective for the world and the Hereafter to treat the dear and near ones well; this is better for our life, death and the Hereafter. (Tafseer Na’eemi, vol. 4, pp. 456)

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to be polite to our relatives. This can be understood like this that if the government forbids someone from doing something and also announces punishment for the person who commits this crime, then no sensible person will deliberately do it, rather he will try to avoid it. Just ponder for a while, we become disturbed by a certain crime because a worldly ruler has forbidden us, but perform deeds against the commandments of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Who is Ahkam-ul-Hakimeen,
