We have seen that Allah does not love the disbelievers, the arrogant, those who reject faith, the proud and the boastful, any swaggering braggart strutting in his steps, the harm doers, any vainglorious prideful boasters, those that do wrong, the unjust, the impious and guilty, the unfaithful and ungrateful, the transgressors, those who exceed the limits and the farthest who trespass beyond bounds.   In this article, that Allah does not love the extravagant.

The meanings of verse 6:141 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 6:141says:

And He (Allah), it is Who produces, creates gardens, orchards,

Trellised, extending along the ground, as in the case of watermelons, vines and other vegetations that spread out: i.e. not resting on trunks

And untrellised that which rests on trunks, rising upwards on a stem, such as palm-trees, walnuts and almonds,

And, He produces, palm-trees, the date palm, and crops of divers flavor sweetness sourness and flavor

And the olive and He created the olive tree.

Some are diverse in the shape and savor of its fruit and seed, and olives, and pomegranates, alike, in terms of their ‘alike’, is a circumstantial qualifier and unlike, in terms of their savor. 

And the pomegranate, of pomegranate trees,

They are alike in color and appearance and unlike in taste.

Eat you of the fruit thereof when it ripens, before its maturity [passes], and pay the due thereof, the alms as appropriate, on the day of its harvest

Eat of the fruit of the palm tree when it fruits, when it ripens,

And pay the due thereof upon the harvest day,

That is, one tenth or half of it, and do not be prodigal, by giving it all away, so that nothing remains for [the consumption of] your dependants.

And do not be prodigal

Truly, God does not love the prodigal, who overstep [the bounds of] that which He has delimited for them.

Do not spend in disobedience of Allah nor prevent the obedience of Allah;

Lo! Allah does not love the prodigals, those who spend in disobedience of Allah;

Ayah 6:99 says:

 

It is Allah Who sends down water, rain, from the sky, and therewith Allah brings forth by means of the rain buds of every kind of grains and other things.

From this green vegetation Allah brings forth the thick clustered grain, clustered in spikes of grain and in other vegetations; and from the date-palm, from the pollen thereof, spring pendant close by, accessible to anyone standing or sitting in bunches; and

Behold! In these things there are signs for people who believe.
