Commentary
It was explained earlier that
Muslims should not think about temporary benefits of the world, but they should
meditate about its result before doing every work. If the people of Makkah had
won against Islam, it would be meant that the freedom of the power of human’s
thinking would be crushed. Practical consequence of which would be that
whosoever desired, had chosen the tenet of operating others with force; by
collecting apparent power, own disciples and followers, wealth and riches, war
equipment and munitions etc. and the Peace would have been lost from the world.
And only this pastime would have prevailed that everyone had to think about
other people and keep them under own influence.
But God Almighty finalized this
decision in the Holy Qur’an that you should ruin the enemies
of the freedom of human conscience. Being kind on them is just like destroying
the humanity and introducing the law of bestiality.
God Almighty commands in this
verse that freeing the captives after getting ransom was too much big mistake
at such occasion that a very stern torment could come, because concession with
those who break the principles of human nature; is a strong reason of mandatory
punishment. If the anguish has not come, then its reason is that Allah Almighty
has already decided. And those decisions have been hindering at this time
against the anguish from God Almighty, which are as under:
·
This favor with the
captives was not shown intentionally, because Allah Almighty had not commanded
about it clearly that after getting ransom; freeing the captives is forbidden.
So, it was an error during diligence; and there is no punishment due to error
in diligence.
·
The torment will not be
sent in the presence of the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him).
·
The anguish will not
come upon those people who beg pardon of God Almighty.
The Muslims were afraid of so
much big menace and considered that they should not touch the wealth; which
they received as ransom. Therefore, next; it is commanded: This error was not
committed intentionally, so it is forgiven. That is good and lawful for you
which you have already taken. Use it as you wish; and keep your duty to Allah
Almighty in future. Have fear of God’s wrath. Beg pardon of Allah Almighty for that
error which you have committed unknowingly. Be hopeful of the Mercy of God
Almighty and believe that He forgives the sins and errors of those who repent
and ask for His Mercy. And He bestows His blessing on His obedient servants.
