Al-Mukhtasar
They are those who join everything that Allah commands to be joined, such as ties with family and their fellow brothers for the sake of Allah, who are in such awe of their Lord that it moves them to carry out His instructions and refrain from His prohibitions, and who fear that Allah will take them to account for every sin they commit, for any person whose account is scrutinised will be ruined.
and those who maintain [the ties] which Allah has ordered to be maintained22, and fear their Lord, and are afraid of a terrible reckoning,
Notes
[22] i.e., the ties of kinship.
And those who join that which Allâh has commanded to be joined (i.e. they are good to their relatives and do not sever the bond of kinship), and fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning (i.e. abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden and perform all kinds of good deeds which Allâh has ordained).
Such as unite that which Allah hath commandeth should be joined, and fear their Lord, and dread a woeful reckoning;
Those who join together those things which Allah hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning;
And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and fear the evil reckoning.
And who hold together what Allah has commanded to be held together, and are apprehensive of their Lord, and fear an odious reckoning,
Who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.
But those who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth - for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home.
