Excerpt from Farhat Hashmi’s speeches and my notes.

“”Woe to those who give less [than due]” (83:1)

Who are the ones that are cursed and ruined?

“Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.” (83:2)

They are those when they are in a position to take, they leave nothing for the other, incredibly greedy. When they are not given, they quickly abandon.

“and when they measure or weigh something to give it to them, give less than due.” (83:3)

They are incredibly stingy when it comes to giving. These verses provide an archetype of greedy and miser individual. When it comes to giving, person won’t open their closed fist. When it comes to taking, they don’t leave even a small part.

What you should be giving you don’t give? This is not just for weighing and measuring but also in dealings of every nature. That in any situation, you are not fulfilling your responsibility but holds on to expectation the other should complete their full responsibility. The other is obligated but not yourself. Conflicts arise due to this.

Its true that everyone should fulfill their responsibility. But what is being mentioned here? That to be reckless when it comes to one’s own responsibilities and have expectation that the other should fulfill their responsibility in perfect manner. Note someone does it intentionally and someone inadvertently forgot. Nevertheless in either case the other’s right is not fulfilled.

In normal dealings with people, not respecting someone and expecting that other should respect me. How common is this? Yourself not greeting the person but hold onto expectation that the other should greet me. Yourself not fulfill promises but if someone does that to you, you consider it a grave mistake.”

Looking for spouse, one has superficial requirements but expects genuineness from other. One barely listens but expects other to be good listener. One is miser but expects other to be generous (not just money). One doesn’t have empathy but expects other to have empathy. One doesn’t forgive but expects other to forgive. And such.

“A husband is not fulfilling his responsibility, he is not providing but his expectation is that his wife should fulfill her responsibility, she be obedient, she should not refuse in anything.”

A wife is not obedient and protective of property, honor of her husband but has expectations from her husband.

“These are ‘lil mutaffiffina’ those who give less, they are the ones that are cursed and ruined.”
