{ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ }
“Indeed successful is the one who became pure.”
This is the 14th Ayah of Surah al-A’ala (Chapter number 87 of the Holy Quran). We are taking its short explanation from Tafsir at-Tabari(جامع البیان عن تأویل آی القرآن) by summarizing it. “Indeed successful is the one who became pure.”
Imam Tabari says: Successful is the one who has made himself pure by avoiding “Kufr” (disbelief) and Allah’s “Disobedience”. And acted upon Allah’s command, fulfilled his/her duties. Tabari further says that Ibn al-Abbas said: It means “The one who gets purity from Shirk (Idoltary).
Hassan Basari says: It means, “The one whose action is pure”
Qatadah says: “The one who is pious”
Ikramah says: It means, “Tho one who said There is no God but Allah (means believing in one God)”
Imam Tabari says: Some interpreters have said, "It means to give charity from your money."
It is narrated by Abu al-Ahwas: “When someone is about to go for Prayer (Salah) and a beggars appears at that time, then he/she should pay some charity, as Allah commands { قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّى}.
Imam Tabari says: Some interpreters have suggested that it’s the Zakah (Charity), which is given before the prayer of Eid al-Fitr. Abu al-‘Aliyah says, “Pay charity before eating on Eid day, because this is the Tazkiya (puring one’s self).
