فَأَرَدْنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَوٰةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا
Commentary:
The verse means to say that Islam has laid down these ordinances and commandments so that man may completely subdue his carnal desires and thus experience a new spiritual birth. But, as mentioned above the followers of Moses gave free play to their low passions and, abandoning themselves to a life of ease and pleasure, exceeded all bounds of moderation and sobriety.

وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةً ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا
Important Words:
حناناً (tenderness of heart) is derived from حنwhich means, he was or became affected with a yearning or an intense emotion of grief or of joy. حن الیه قلبی means, my heart yearned towards him. حناناً means, mercy, compassion or pity; tenderness of heart. A Muslim would pray حنانک یارب i.e. I beg Thy mercy, o Lord (Aqrab & Lane).
زکاة (purity) is infinitive-noun from زکی which means, it increased or augmented; it throve by the blessing of God. زکی الغلام means, the boy grew and throve; he was or became good or righteous and pure from sin; he enjoyed or led a pleasant, plentiful or an easy life. The difference between زکاة (purity) and تقوی (piety) is that whereas the former word means internal purity, the latter generally signifies protection against external evils (Lane, Aqrab & Mufradat).
