Commentary
At that time, when Holy Qur’an was
revealed, nearly entire people of the world had gone back from the Way of Allah
Almighty. When the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) began to explain the real Revelations of Noble Qur’an,
it was very troublesome for them to give up their wrong path, because being too
much habitual of it; they had seen their own death in this new system and
organization, whereas the secret of real life was hidden in it.
The people of Makkah used
to criticize the commands of Holy Qur’an. Instead of understanding
the actual matter, their only job was to object. The Commentators have
explained that when the Holy Qur’an forbade from eating the
meat of any dead animal dying naturally and determined it unlawful for eating,
hereupon, the infidels of Makkah turned up their nose and knitted
the eyebrows according to their habit, and from them, those people, who used to
consider themselves more wise, they said: it is strange that the animal, which
is killed by Allah, is unlawful for eating, whereas, which is slaughtered by a
mankind himself, is lawful.
It was described in the
previous verses for warning as its preface and reply that those people, who
mislead from the Way of Allah, say about the apparent matter by making reform.
But there is nothing in their trickery sayings. The fact is that Lawful and
Unlawful is based on the Command of Allah Almighty.
The actual foundation of their
objection is that they consider that Allah Almighty should be bound of their
wishes, and as their idols say them nothing, they do as they desire, like this
Allah Almighty should not give them order (Let’s flee to God). False foundation
of their thoughts was disclosed in the previous verses.
It has been described very
clearly in this verse that “to order is just the Work of Allah Almighty and to
obey His Command is the duty of the entire mankind”.
It is commanded that Allah
Almighty knows them best, who err from His Way, as well as them also, who are
rightly guided and go straight forward on His prescribed Way. Erroneous way
cannot be correct due to their false and destructive thinking. The wrong is
always wrong. Therefore, you should not care the sayings of the stupid people.
It is wrong to say that the
animal, which dies itself, is killed by Allah Almighty and which is slaughtered
according to the instructions of Allah Almighty, is killed by the human being.
Allah Almighty kills every soul, whether that is from the mankind or animal
kind.
Moreover, because the name of
Allah Almighty is mentioned at the time of slaughtering any lawful animal, so
due to the Grace of His name, it becomes lawful for eating the meat of that
particular animal only. Accordingly, if any animal is slaughtered by mentioning
the name of any other than Allah Almighty, that is unlawful too, whether that
is slaughtered in accord with the prescribed instructions. For this reason,
being lawful is only with the name of Allah Almighty and His commandment.
