how to memorise the

Apologies for not posting for a while. We have just uploaded a new video onto our youtube channel that we wanted to share with you. Enjoy!

Last week’s question was about the wisdom behind Allaah mentioning the wasiyyah (will) before debt in the verses regarding inheritance. The answer is quite simple. The scholars say the reason for this is that if the deceased had left behind unpaid debts, there is in the majority of cases, someone who will always chase it up, namely the person who he/she was indebted to. So the debts will always be apparent and come to light. However, the requests the deceased leaves behind in his/ her will are not known except to those who have knowledge of it from the people who either have seen a written will or were given a verbal instruction by the deceased before his/ her death regarding what to do with the wealth. If these people choose not to fulfil the deceased’s requests, there is no one who will chase it up. So Allaah has mentioned it before debt in these verses to bring to the attention of the believers the importance of fulfilling the requests of the deceased regarding the left he/ she leaves behind.

This week’s question

This week’s question is from the easier examples we have given so far. In soorat adh-Dhuhaa, Allaah says:

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression, (Ad-Dhuhaa 93:9)

And repulse not the beggar; (Ad-Dhuhaa 93:10)

What is the wisdom between pairing the word taqhar with the orphan and the word tanhar with the beggar?
