Commentary
The religious and
worldly wrong deeds and evils of which persons were described in the previous
verses, now their specific chastisement has been mentioned; those persons will
be punished because of their wrongdoing and dishonesty. Their biggest sin is
that they tried to falsify the truth after understanding it. They turned away
notwithstanding knowing the path of goodness, were not attentive towards the
preachers of rectitude and righteousness.
This same trick was
of the Jews and the Christians. These people had known by reciting the
Scriptures (Heavenly Books) that after the Prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be
upon them), the last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) will be sent. When he was born, they refused after knowing him
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
Punishment for those
people is that on them rests the curse of Allah, His angels (peace be upon
them) and of the men combined. In addition, they also shun themselves
personally, when they say from their own tongues, “Allah’s curse on liars and wrongdoers”
doing so they reprove in fact themselves.
For them, this curse
is for ever. Moreover, they will be entangled in grievous torment on the Day of
Resurrection. Neither their doom will be lightened, nor will they be reprieved
for a while. The fire has not a characteristic that it would lessen its heat,
burning or inflammation for some time. That fire would be brought by Omnipotent
and it would be Divine wrath for them.
Usually those people
strengthen the power of badness who after understanding the reality of
goodness, adopt the path of evil only due to following the casual, fickle and
useless motives. These people mostly harm the power of goodness. Other persons
are deceived strongly by their deception. Their faith becomes unsettled. Their
belief on goodness is weakened.
Those people who
have doubts in the path of guidance and good fortune, actually they become also
the cause of others’ depravity. Due to their natural disposition of this
indirect badness, they are settled to deserve the curse. The curse of
Allah Almighty, His angels (peace be upon them), the Muslims and the persons of
good souls (combined) rests on them.
la’-natAllaahi – (the curse of Allah), la-‘a-na is its
root. Mal-‘uun is he, who is accursed. It means distance and
the
curse. According to phraseology, it means the
distance from the pity, mercy and exclusion from favor and bounty of Allah
Almighty is called ‘Curse’.
