Commentary
Holy Qur’aan desires
to show the people Straight Path, so that they may adapt their lives, adopt
those things which are useful and give up those habits and things, which are
harmful. Thus there are commands as well as prohibitions too in Its
verses. ‘Amr means command, order to do good acts, and Nahii means
‘prevention from doing evil deeds’.
At some places, these commands
and prohibitions have been described very clearly, and at other places,
circumstances and events of other people have been mentioned in such a manner
that if we think about them, then we can know, “We should choose their good manners
and see off evil deeds like the wicked, by meditating in the consequence of
mischief people”.
The Jews have this badness that
they are careless from the religion and follow their wishes, whereas the
Christians have included many new conceptions in their religion and consider
them also part of their religion.
Allah Almighty commands, “Eat
of that, which Allah Almighty has bestowed on you as food lawful and good, and
keep yourselves bound in the fixed limits of your religion without any increase
or decrease”.
The Jews settled unlawful
things as lawful for themselves and committed that what they wished. At the
other hand, the Christians gave up even the lawful things, and became dervish
and monk. You should be saved from this type of inflation and deflation, fear
from Allah Almighty and keep your duty to Him, obey His commands in Whom you
believe, and do not decide according to your own will.
