195. Have they feet
wherewith they walk, or have they hands wherewith they hold, or have they

not!

Commentary
Kiiduuni – actually, this word
is kiiduunii. Kiiduu is a word of command. Kayd means –
to get an opportunity or chance. Kiiduu means “contrive
(against)” and nii means “me”.
Tun-ziruuni – this word is
actually tunziruunii. Tunziruu is word of command from the
word ‘anzaar. ‘Anzaar has been derived from nazar,
which means “to delay, to postpone”. Nii means “to me”.
In this verse, there is a mention about
helplessness of the idols. It is astonishing on the idolaters that they create
themselves the shapes of idols on the models of living creatures, even that
they make their hands, feet, eyes and ears etc. everything. But, whether can
they take work from their artificial limbs like living creatures? If they
think, those idols are more incapable than their makers. The makers can use
their limbs as they wish but the idols can do nothing.
It is
commanded: Ask from them! These idols which you made with your own hands,
accepted that; you have made their hands, feet, eyes and ears too, but, can
they use them like your original limbs? Can they walk with their feet? Can they
hold with their hands? Can they see with their eyes? Can they hear with their
ears? Regret at your wit and being more proud on it that; you frighten Me
(Messenger of Allah Almighty – grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
from them, as if, they can damage Me notwithstanding; those are helpless
openly. It is your own will that you have been entangled in deception.
Moreover, Allah Almighty has opened My obvious and hidden eyes. I see clearly
that these, your idols can never harm Me. I say to you openly: Call all of them
and leave no stone unturned in my persecuting and spare Me not. Then behold!
What can they do of Mine? The people of weak belief cannot challenge openly as
such. On them, the effect of environment; created around the idols; is so deep
that they begin to fear, that something unknown may happen any time. They are
as much influenced by conjectural and imaginary things that their ability of
understanding becomes useless totally.
