After the revelation of the verses: S4: 10 and S 17:34, through which approaching the properties of the orphans was prohibited, and eating their wealth was declared as eating fire! even the guardians of the orphans became anxious, and some resigned and left the sponsorhip of the orphans. Some men who looked after an orphan, discharged him from his house and guardianship, for fear of committing a sin so great, concerning the orphans! This caused a lot of trouble for the guardians, as well as the orphans. So they came to the prophet and asked him what was to be done in this relation?
In this verse (NO. 220) the main point and the object of thought and reflection is declared to be this present world, and the world to come: ``Reflect upon this world and upon the next.'' Although Man has to obey God and His prophets; yet he has to fulfill the commandments thoughtfully and not blindly.
Then the verse answers the third question concerning the orphans and says: ``The best thing to do concerning the orphans, is to set their affairs aright and justly. It is not good to leave them and avoid to give them a hand for fear of committing a sin. The test is what is best in the orphans interest. Allah knows well the just man fron the unjust one.''
