Commentary
‘As-taksartum – (you seduced many people), it is a past tense. Its
origin is ‘istaksaar, which has been made from the word kasratun. Kasratun means
excess and majority. ‘Istaksaar will be meant as “getting maximum
portion and more things to order”.
‘As-tamta-‘a – (enjoyed –reaped advantage), it is past tense also,
which is from the word ‘astamtaaa’ and it has been derived
from mataaa’. Mataaa’ means – any useful and beneficial thing,
wealth and property, goods and equipment etc. ‘Astamtaaa’ means
“to gather wealth and possessions in abundance and to reap advantage from it.
‘Ajala – it means “appointed term and the whole period too”. Here it
aims “the death which arrives at its prescribed time”. ‘AjjalTa –
(the time You appointed), made from the word taajiil, Taajiil has
been derived from the word ‘ajal. ‘Ajal means “to appoint the
term”.
It was
described in the previous verses that maximum people choose the wrong way, which
is chosen always by Satan’s power of deceiving, who is inbred and old enemy of
the human being. Allah Almighty has loosened him (the Devil), but saying at the
spot to him: You will be unable to seduce the servants of Mine. It was
commanded in the previous verse that Walii (the Protecting
Friend) of Good people is Allah Almighty. Condition of the evildoers has been
explained in this verse.
It is commanded that a Day will
come when the entire humankind and the jinn (the devils, the demons) will be
gathered before Allah Almighty. The devils will be addressed before the
mankind: You plundered much in the world and made many people yours obedient
and servants. A guilty conscience needs no accuser. The slaves of the devils
will speak at their own: Neither were we their slaves and nor used to worship
them. By chance; sometimes, we used to obey their commands and sometimes they
used to obey us. Like this we used to help one another. Even the death
entrapped us and the period You appointed for our living in the world, was
finished. The only aim to ask from the devils was that the mankind should
answer. We shall know their reply in the next lesson.
