Right practice

Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’  (Women) – Chapter – 4) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَيَعْلَمُ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَعِظْهُمْ وَقُل لَّهُمْ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًۢا بَلِيغًا 63

 وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذظَّلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا 64

63.  Those are they, the secrets of whose hearts Allah knoweth. So overlook them and admonish them, and speak to them eloquent words that would touch their very souls.  64.  We sent no messenger save that he should be obeyed by Allah’s leave. And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and the Messenger (also) asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.

63.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ikallaziina  ya’-la-mUllaahu  maa  fii  quluubihim  fa- ‘a’- riz  ‘anum  wa  ‘iz-hum  wa  qul-lahum  fiii  ‘anfusihim  qawlam-baliigaa. 64.  Wa  maaa  ‘arsalnaa  mir-Rasuulin  ‘illaa  liyutaa-‘a  bi-‘iznIllaah.  Wa  law  ‘annahum  ‘iz-zalamuuu  ‘anfusahum  jaaa-‘uuka  fastag-farUllaaha  was-tag-fara  lahu-mur-Rasuulu  la-waja-dUllaaha  Tawwaa-bar-Rahiimaa.

Commentary

Zalamuuu  - this word has been derived from the word zulm, which means tyranny, against the truth, rule or right, violence, cruelty and such act due to which someone harms (any other person or himself). 

‘Anfusa  - it is plural of nafs (the breath, respiration, the soul, the spirit, essence, heart, the person etc.). It also comes for the meaning of “belonging to, concerning, relevant, depending on” in the paraphrase. For the first verse (# 63), these meanings are proper, while for the second verse (# 64) the meaning as “the soul” is accurate.

Baliigaa  - (eloquent), to speak in such a deep toned voice, which effects one’s heart and he understands it wholeheartedly.

In this verse, Allah Almighty says that their behavior is wrong and unbecoming; you should not be deceived from their apparent condition and smattering talks. Allah Almighty knows that entire, whatever they have in their hearts and He will punish them for their evil deeds at the appropriate time. Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is being commanded by Allah Almighty, “Do not care for their absurd and hypocritical deeds and keep up advising them”. Then it has been explained that if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee, be abashed and asked forgiveness of Allah Almighty, requested the Messenger to ask Allah Almighty also for their forgiveness, then they would have found Allah Almighty most Forgiving and Merciful. At that time, Allah Almighty would have surely forgiven their error. Instead of being ashamed and repenting, they began to refuse their crime and swear that they did not commit any crime but their intention was good and they went there; only for harmony and kindness.
