  • Quran 100:8 الۡخَیۡرِ

    Posted by Imran Shafiq on January 19, 2021 at 12:30 pm

    In Sura Adiyat ayat 8 – الۡخَیۡرِ is translated as wealth. Does the context of the Sura imply this meaning?

    وَ اِنَّہٗ لِحُبِّ الۡخَیۡرِ لَشَدِیۡدٌ

    It is translated as “good”, “better”, “good deeds” everywhere else in the Quran from what I can see.

    The word is used in Quran for good breed of horses

    إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ ﴿

    And he said, “Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until the sun disappeared into the curtain [of darkness].” 38:32

    In the above mentioned verse the context is conformity of the use of the word for wealth. This is about condemning undesirable behavior of disbelievers. If we use the word in the meaning is good deeds it will ruin the context. It would imply that God is condemning a man who is very eager to do good things or deeds.
