Lesson
Khatama -
(Sealed, stamped), it aims such result, which is born due to constant refusal
and opposing the Truth. The purpose of sealing anything is that nothing may
enter in it from outside and nothing may go out from it, which has been sealed.
For example; if the heart has been sealed, then neither the Truth can enter
into it and nor the boldness can remain in it, so that it may proclaim the good
as agreeable.
Quluu-bihim -
(Their hearts). This word is plural of Qalb. It does not mean here
that the Heart is a piece of flesh, but it is the will-power, which is center of the wisdom, the sense and the intention.
Sam-‘ihim -
(Their hearing), Sama’
means - power of hearing, and it aims “their ear”.
‘Absaarihim -
(Their eyes), it is plural of basar, which
means “Power of looking”.
Ghishaawatun –
(Covering), its origin is gashi-yun, which means “to cover,
to hide”. Hear it aims: That covering of ignorance over eyes, which although
looks the Signs of the Truth, but even then, it resists accepting the facts.
In the world, this universal rule is over all things that
whenever any power is not brought into use regularly or it is not activated,
then at last, it gives up its functionality. The same condition is of the
powers of observing and understanding the Truth. If those are kept
un-functional constantly, then such natural Rule of Allah Almighty is enforced
here also that they will leave the function of observing and understanding the
Truth. Enforcement of the same rule has been described in this verse.
Sealing of the hearts, hearing and covering the eyes of any
body by Allah begins, whenever any person chooses the infidelity; intentionally
and persists on it. Every individual is given correct nature by God Almighty
and it includes the use of thinking power in the signs and revelations of God
Almighty. But whenever the mankind misuses his thinking powers and devises to
follow the Devil, turning away his direction from the teachings of Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), then he goes out of the chain
of kindness of The Prophets (peace be upon Them) and the Support of God
Almighty gives him up. Then, he considers that going astray is the straight
path.
It is obvious that as the result of taking the poison is
cause of death, just like this; changing one’s direction from the Commandments
of God Almighty intentionally, becomes cause of spiritual death. As we have
learnt earlier that the life of mankind does not finish after death, but there
is another life also, which will be consequence of this life. Constantly
disobeying in this life will appear in the form of very big agony as
punishment.
