Commentary
Yata-waffa – (to
drag out the soul from the body), the origin of this word is tu-waffaa,
which means “to die”. God Almighty has appointed the Angels (peace be upon
Them) for dragging the souls from the bodies, so, it is the reason that in this
verse, it is mentioned “And if thou couldst see how the angels receive those
who disbelieve”. From it; more words like fawt and wafaat etc.
have also been derived, which means “the death and dying” etc. It aims that
when the Angels (peace be upon Them) seize the souls of the disbelievers,
infidels and idolaters etc.
In the previous verses, God
Almighty has been making the mention of disbelievers’ behavior since long. These
people are so absorbed in the visual splendor, planning and management of the
world that they do not think ahead of it. But That Omnipotent; Who has created
this entire world and all creatures, He does not like this disobedience, pride
and haughtiness of the human beings. Therefore, sometimes, they are taught a
lesson. They keep doing their managements, whereas at the other hand, they are
removed from the world by means of floods, rain and dust-storms etc.
Armies of God Almighty are
uncountable. He arranged to slay many people in the Battle of Badr through
a handful Muslims. It is commanded that they strutted away during the whole
life, but when the time of death reached and seized them, then they were unable
to do something. Such condition of their helplessness is worth watching; when
the Angels (peace be upon Them) have been dragging their souls from their
bodies, smiting their faces and their backs, and along with it, they have been
saying: It is not sufficient. In the next world, when you would have to burn in
the Fire, then the reality will be opened on you.
Their condition is due to their
own evil deeds, because Allah Almighty commands: There is no tyranny in Our
Court. Molesting the helpless and innocent people is against Our Mercy.
However, those people, who are blameworthy at fault; are punished properly,
because they deserve it due to their wicked deeds.
In addition to the above
mentioned verses, you must see the last verse of the fifth Part of the Chapter
(Surah) Nisaaa’ (Women) (4:147), where Allah Almighty
commands: What concern hath God for your punishment if ye are thankful (for His
Mercies) and believe (in Him)? And God is ever Responsive, Aware.
