Indeed those who consume the property of orphans wrongfully, only ingest fire into their bellies, and soon they will enter the Blaze.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah An-Nisa',Verse 10
10. "Verily; those who devour the properties of the orphans unjustly, certainly they swallow Fire into their bellies, and they shall enter the burning Fire."
In Tafsir Al-Mizan, this verse has been taken as an evidence for the embodiment of deeds in Hereafter.6 Devouring the property of the orphan will turn to Fire on Resurrection Day. Devouring the property of the orphan is unlawful when it is done unjustly and with transgression. Else, the usual holding familiar intercourse, which does not cause a loss or damage to the orphans and there is not any evil intention towards devouring their property, is admissible. The Qur'an says: 7
Explanation
The apparent shape, here, is devouring the property of the orphan, but the real feature of it will be made manifest in the form of Fire in the Hereafter.
