قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ
Say, ‘If your fathers and your sons, your brethren, your spouses, and your kinsfolk, the possessions that you have acquired, the business you fear may suffer, and the dwellings you are fond of, are dearer to you than Allah and His Apostle and to waging jihad in His way, then wait until Allah issues His edict, and Allah does not guide the transgressing lot.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 9:24
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 9:24] Islam does not preach asceticism. Man is allowed to involve himself in his earthly ties and comforts, profits and gains, so far as his involvement does not hinder him from walking on the right path of Allah, but when the call of duty to the Lord of the worlds is made he must sacrifice all his worldly possessions, children and interests in the service of Allah and His cause, which alone earns for him the blissful spiritual life of the hereafter, not the material gains he has obtained in this world.
