القرب والبعد يتقابلان. يقال: قربت منه أقرب ، وقربته أقربه قربا وقربانا، ويستعمل ذلك في المكان، وفي الزمان، وفي النسبة، وفي الحظوة، والرعاية، والقدرة.
قوله تعالى: ﴿ونحن أقرب إليه من حبل الوريد﴾ [ق:16] هذا من باب التمثيل لاقتداره وقهره، وأن العبد في قبضته وسلطانه بحال من ملك حبل وريده أي عرق حلقومه ولا قرب حسيا، تعالى الله عن الجهة، فقرب الله تعالى من عبده هو الإفضال عليه والفيض. ولهذا روي أن موسى رضي الله عنه قال: إلهي! أقريب فأناجيك أم بعيد فأناديك؟ فأوحى الله…
Verses 1–15 of 15
And remember We took A Covenant from the Children Of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but God; Treat with kindness Your parents and kindred, And orphans and those in need; Speak fair to the people; Be steadfast in prayer; And practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, Except a few among you, And ye backslide (even now).
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:83It is not righteousness That ye turn your faces Towards East or West; But it is righteousness— To believe in God And the Last Day, And the Angels, And the Book, And the Messengers; To spend of your substance, Out of love for Him, For your kin, For orphans, For the needy, For the wayfarer, For those who ask, And for the ransom of slaves; To be steadfast in prayer, And practice regular charity; To fulfil the contracts Which ye have made; And to be firm and patient, In pain (or suffering) And adversity, And throughout All periods of panic. Such are the people Of truth, the God-fearing.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:177But if at the time of division Other relatives, or orphans, Or poor, are present, Feed them out of the (property), And speak to them Words of kindness and justice.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:8serve God, and join not Any partners with Him; And do good To parents, kinsfolk, Orphans, those in need, Neighbours who are near, Neighbours who are strangers, The Companion by your side, The way-farer (ye meet), And what your right hands possess: For God loveth not The arrogant, the vainglorious;—
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:36O ye who believe! When death approaches Any of you, (take) witnesses Among yourselves when making Bequests,—two just men Of your own (brotherhood) Or others from outside If ye are journeying Through the earth, And the chance of death Befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), Detain them both After prayer, and let them both Swear by God: "We wish not in this For any worldly gain, Even though the (beneficiary) Be our near relation: We shall hide not The evidence before God: If we do, then behold! The sin be upon us!"
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:106And come not nigh To the orphan's property, Except to improve it, Until he attain the age Of full strength; give measure And weight with (full) justice;— No burden do We place On any soul, but that Which it can bear;— Whenever ye speak, speak justly, Even if a near relative Is concerned; and fulfil The Covenant of God: Thus doth He command you, That ye may remember.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:152And know that out of All the booty that ye May acquire (in war), A fifth share is assigned To God,—and to the Apostle, And to near relatives, Orphans, the needy, And the wayfarer, If ye do believe in God And in the revelation We sent down to Our Servant On the Day of Testing,— The Day of the meeting Of the two forces. For God hath power Over all things.
Surah Al-Anfal, verse 8:41It is not fitting, For the Prophet and those Who believe, that they should Pray for forgiveness For Pagans, even though They be of kin, after it is Clear to them that they Are companions of the Fire.
Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:113God commands justice, the doing Of good, and liberality to kith And kin, and He forbids All shameful deeds, and injustice And rebellion: He instructs you, That ye may receive admonition.

Surah Al-Isra, verse 17:26Let not those among you Who are endued with grace And amplitude of means Resolve by oath against helping Their kinsmen, those in want, And those who have left Their homes in God's cause: Let them forgive and overlook, Do you not wish That God should forgive you? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:22So give what is due To kindred, the needy, And the wayfarer. That is best for those Who seek the Countenance, Of God, and it is they Who will prosper.
Surah Ar-Rum, verse 30:38Nor can a bearer of burdens Bear another's burden. If one heavily laden should Call another to (bear) his load, Not the least portion of it Can be carried (by the other), Even though he be nearly Related. Thou canst but Admonish such as fear Their Lord unseen And establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies himself Does so for the benefit Of his own soul; and The destination (of all) Is to God.
Surah Fatir, verse 35:18That is (the Bounty) whereof God gives Glad Tidings To His Servants who Believe and do righteous deeds. Say: "No reward do I Ask of you for this Except the love Of those near of kin." And if any one earns Any good, We shall give Him an increase of good In respect thereof: for God Is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready To appreciate (service).
Surah Ash-Shuraa, verse 42:23What God has bestowed On His Apostle (and taken Away) from the people Of the townships,—belongs To God,—to His Apostle And to kindred and orphans, The needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (Merely) make a circuit Between the wealthy among you. So take what the Apostle Assigns to you, and deny Yourselves that which he Withholds from you. And fear God; for God Is strict in Punishment.
Surah Al-Hashr, verse 59:7
