Commentary
Nakaalan – (warning),
it means a punishment and incident, which becomes a warning for others, bearing
it in mind, the people get admonition.
Purpose of narrating
the important events of the history of Israelite in Holy Qur’aan,
on one side is that, the Children of Israel feel repentance and be
much ashamed. They recognize their reality and incline towards the straight
path. And on the other side, it is an admonition for the Muslims. They get it
as warning from the incidents of previous nations, check an account of their
deeds, take a lesson and adjust themselves in the light of Holy Qur’aan.
Which event we have
discussed in the previous verse that has much importance in the history of the
Children of Israel and all these people know it very well. The
Holy Qur’aan is drawing their attention also towards that
incident.
After expressing the
incident, Holy Qur’aan declared in this verse, “So We made it
an example to their own and to succeeding generations, and an admonition to the
God-fearing”. So that, the entire human beings are informed about the result of
disobeying the commands of God Almighty, they may be careful for ever and each
moment. It is the fact that this incident is a Guide for particularly
God-fearing individuals. Their belief may be perfect with it that only the fear
of God is root cause of the all goodness for human beings.
After understanding
this verse, now there is no doubt that certainly disobeying the commands of God
Almighty becomes main cause of a big wrath. We should keep it always before us.
It is not an ordinary thing: Changing of good faces into bad and becoming apes
from the mankind. The human beings should keep on having fear the wrath and
anger of God Almighty.
It also comes out
from this verse that how much an individual can get admonition from the
previous events. In fact, this Holy Qur’aan (the Word of God)
has impressed upon the minds very clearly about the benefits of the history and
that, every incident or event cannot become history. Only those events deserve
to become a part of history from which, the people may acquire any fair lesson.
