“Indeed successful is the one who became pure.”

 { 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).
