Commentary
Circumstances of coward and spiritless
Hypocrites are being described in this verse, who neither used to care for
Islam, nor of the Gracious Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), but they used to
hold themselves most dear. They were constantly thinking, “How can we save
ourselves, lest Army of the Infidels would attack on us again”. How could
slumber or sleep come over them in such frightful condition?
Sincere Muslims did not run away from the
battlefield even after observing the danger and remained steady and staying
with Messenger (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi
wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam). To remove their fatigue and tiredness, Allah
Almighty prevailed slumber upon them. It produced peace and satisfaction in
their hearts. Being refreshed they again stood still before the enemies.
There was a thief in the hearts of Hypocrites.
They used to keep their lives dearer than Belief and Islam. They wished to save
only their own lives. How slumber could prevail them while false thoughts had
encircled their hearts. They said, “Where promises of Allah Almighty have gone?
Where is Divine help and victory now? It seems that Islam is near to end now.
Messenger (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi
wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) and the Muslims will not be able to go
back to their homes now. As it has been described at another place, “Bal
zanantum ‘allany-yanqali-bar-Rasuulu wal-Mu’-minuuna
‘ilaaa ‘ahliihim ‘abadaa (Nay, but ye deemed that the
Messenger and the believers would never return to their own folks) - Suratul:
Fat-h (Victory) (section -2).
The Hypocrites used to say, “Nothing is in our
control”. Although, hypocrites were true apparently saying such words, really
nothing is in the control of any human being. Everything is in the control of
Allah Almighty. If He desires to make something, He may do so and if He wishes
to destroy then it is easy for Him to destroy. He can allow one to prevail over
others or conquer, either make someone ruler or under control. But the
hypocrites were considering something other as its meanings.
‘Al-jaahiliyyah- (like the ignorant), from this word, the
life before Islam is also inferred, because at that time, the Arabs neither had
awareness of the religion, nor did they know the world. They were entirely
ignorant and ill-mannered.
