Commentary
‘
When Prophet Shu-aib (peace
be upon Him) began to advise the people of Madian and the
sweet words spoken by Him began to touch the hearts of listeners, then astray
people of His nation established places, where people used to meet on the
coming and going paths, and began to prevent the people to see Prophet Shu-aib (peace
be upon Him) and hear Him. Even that, they began to threaten them and find
faults with the Path, shown by Him. And they began also to persuade to keep
their footing on their bad path. Then Prophet Shu-aib (peace
be upon Him) commanded them: Behold! Don’t do so, you should neither blockade
the path of people and nor prevent them by threatening from their coming unto
Me and that way of bargaining, which Allah Almighty has determined, and nor try
to finish them, who have believed in Allah Almighty and are ready to obey His
Commands. And you should not pick holes in the Straight Path willing or not
willing. And you should not stir up to give it up by creating doubts of various
sorts regarding the religion in the hearts of the people.
Satan had undertaken from the
beginning to destroy the human being at every cost. The history of humankind is
witness that the Devil did not leave it unfinished by trying His best. When and
where He got any opportunity, He tried to mislead the innocent mankind from the
straight and simple way.
The Devil knows the matters
very well, in which areas the good is for mankind. This attempt is easy for Him
that somehow He should not let human being do good works. He tries to misguide
the people from the straight path towards altogether crooked way always. He
knows that goodness of human being is hidden in it that he/she should believe
that Allah Almighty is his/her Creator, God and Lord. He/she should recognize
the Messengers of God (peace be upon Them) and obey Them and he/she should
ensure that: If I shall not obey God’s Messengers, certainly I will be punished
at last, due to disobeying the Messengers.
Satan says to the human being:
Allah is nothing, everything; which exists; that is; you and your own strength,
so, you should stretch out yourself and your strength, as much as it may be
possible. Everything for you is; this world. You should not listen to the
Messengers (peace be upon Them). They ensnare you in labor; willing or not
willing, and prevent you from ease and comfort of the world, and as its retaliation,
they promise for the Garden, which has neither been by anyone nor heard.
Whenever any
group of the Devil’s disciples holds command of any place, that group runs
government according to Satan’s instructions, which is: Keep established
authority. Get your words acknowledged by the people. Do neither listen to the
Messengers (peace be upon Them) and Their followers, nor let others hear.
Compel the people by threat or greed; to obey you.
