Remain afar off immodesty

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  قُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِهِۦشَيْـًٔا وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَكُم مِّنْ إِمْلَٰقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلنَّفْسَٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ 151

151b.  And that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath commanded you, in order that ye may discern.

151b.  Wa  laa  taqrabul-  fa-waahisha  maa  zahara  minhaa  wa  maa  batan.  Wa  laa  taqtu-lunnafsallatii  harramAllaahu  ‘illaa  bilhaqq.  Zaalikum  wassaa-kum  bihii  la- ‘allakum  ta’-qiluun.

Commentary

 ‘Al-fa-waahish- (lewd things), this word is plural of Faahishah, which means “immodesty, shamelessness, unchastity”. Here it aims “major sins” for example “committing adultery, sodomy etc.”

Harrama – it is past tense from tahriim, which means “to forbid”. That thing is also forbidden, safety, respect and reverence of which is compulsory. It is the aim of harrama here, that the thing, which has been commanded to be kept safe respectfully.

wassaa-kum – (you have been advised). This word is past tense from tawsiih, which has been derived from wasii-‘atun. Wasii-‘atun means “the matter of sincerity and goodwill”. Tawsii-‘atun means “to say or give something for goodness”. If Wasii-‘atun is from Allah Almighty, then it is meant “to command, to order”.

Remaining prescribed commands of Allah Almighty have been mentioned in this verse. It is commanded that you should not go near the lewd things and evil matters, whether, those are open or hidden. Protect and respect the life, which Allah Almighty has commanded, that is to say; the life of mankind. You should not kill him/her unjustly. Unjustly killing is that, which has been prohibited by the Divine Law of the Religion. You have been commanded by Allah Almighty about these matters for the purpose that you may understand, that your work is not to set the rules of order and conduct, rather you should follow the commands of Allah Almighty.

It had been the custom among the Arabs that open evil deeds were forbidden i.e. adultery etc. but if those are concealed, where none is present to see, then there is nothing wrong. In this verse, those people have been commanded: The sin and evil is prohibited in each condition, whether that is committed before other people or secretly. Likewise, slaying the man had no objection in the Arab. Vandalism was their left hand game. They have been prevented from committing these kinds of deeds in this verse. It is not permissible to kill any human being unless the Religious Law does not provide a Judicial Decree. Similarly, slaughtering any creature in the Sanctuary of Makkah is also unlawful.    

After determining the rules regarding affairs and conduct, Allah Almighty has commanded that the mankind cannot make the rules of his life to live at his own. He should follow only the rules established by Allah Almighty and pass his life according to His commands. Every deed of the human being becomes worship, if he/she passes the life in accordance with the commands of Allah almighty.

151a.  Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath forbidden to you; that ye ascribe nothing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury. We provide for you and for them.

151a.  Qul  ta-‘aa-law  ‘atlu  maa  harrama  Rabbukum  ‘alay-kum  ‘allaa  tush-rikuu  biHii  shay-‘anw-wa  bil-waali-dayni  ‘ihsaanaa. Wa  laa  taq-tuluuu  ‘awlaada-kum-min  ‘imlaaq. Nahnu  Narzuqu-kum  wa  ‘iyyaa-hum.

Commentary

Ta-‘aa-law – (Come, you should come), it is a word of command and its origin is ta-‘aa-la, which has been derived from ta-‘aal and made from ‘uluw-wun. ‘Uluu means exaltation. Ta-‘aalaa means “to be exalted, to be at higher position. If any person is at a higher place; for example, at upper storey of a house or on any platform, and he calls someone from the lower place, then as per Arabic language, he will say ta-‘aa-la which means “Come up”. After that, use of the word Ta-‘aa-la “come” was begun for calling someone closer or to draw his attention. Here it aims “Be attentive, Attend to me”. We can say it also as “Listen to me or Come, I am going to relate you the commands”.

Harrama – (forbade), it is a past tense, origin of which is Tahriim, which has been derived from haraam,  one meaning of haraam is “forbidden”. Another meaning of this word is “the final and prescribed order” too. Here the word Tahriim has been used for the same meaning, that is to say; to prescribe, definite command.

‘Imlaaq – this word has been derived from malaqa, which means light, delicacy. ’Imlaaq means “to finish the money by spending, to be steeped in poverty”.

It is the duty of mankind that he should obey the Orders of Allah Almighty. He should not impose any restriction himself upon himself. If he will do so, he will be called oppressor and cruel.

In the previous Section, altogether Orders of Allah Almighty about food were described. In this Section, clear and final guidance has been given about the morality and affairs. Thoughts of human being are based on uncertainty and doubt, but the Commands of Allah Almighty are certain and decisive, in which there is no space of any doubts.

It is commanded: Come, I will recite unto you the works, which Allah Almighty has determined for you to do. It is your duty that you should adhere to His Orders, and should not make rules yourself according to your will. Making law is not your job. It is the work of only Allah Almighty. You should not ascribe any partner with Allah Himself and His Attributes. You should do good with your parents. You should never kill your children for the reason that by bringing them up, your wealth will be finished and the penury will spread over. As Allah Almighty provides you the means of subsistence, in the same manner, He will provide them food also.

Many traditions were in force against the humanity in Arabian territory. Idols were worshipped, and those people used to consider that the idols were a source to reach Allah. They used to kill their children; considering that while they did not have food for themselves, then how they would provide them?

Quran Chapter 6 – 150 (Pt-8, Stg-2) (L-906) - درس قرآن

Provide any witness!

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَآءَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هَٰذَا فَإِن شَهِدُوا۟ فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْأَهْوَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَهُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ 150

150.  Say: Come, bring your witnesses who can bear witness that Allah forbade (all) this. Then if they bear witness, do not thou bear witness with them. And follow thou not the whims of those who deny Our Revelations, and those who believe not in the Hereafter and deem (others) equal with their Lord.

150.  Qul  halumma  shuhadaaa-‘akumul-laziina  yash-haduuna  ‘annAllaaha  harrama  haazaa.  Fa-‘in  shahiduu  falaa  tash-had  ma-‘ahum.  Wa  laa  tatta-bi’-  ‘ahwaaa- ‘allaziina  kazzabuu  bi- ‘AayaatiNaa  wal-laziina  laa  yu’-minuuna  bil- ‘Aakhirati  wa  hum-  bi-Rabbihim  ya’-diluun.

Commentary

Halumma – (Come, bring), this word is a noun, which has been used as the meaning of “the Command”. There are some such words in Arabic language, which are Noun, but their meanings are of “act of command” or the past. Such words are called verbs of noun.

It was described in the previous verse that they should bring forth any proof regarding those things, which they have predetermined forbidden. Obviously they have no argument except it that they make only conjecture. It has been commanded in this verse that certainly, they have no proof. So now, if they have any such witness, then they should produce him, who may say: Yes! I was present at that time, when Allah Almighty forbade these things. Apparently; they do not have even such witnesses. Suppose! If they produced such witnesses due to their prestige or by giving a bribe, then certainly they would be liars, even then you should neither be agree and nor accept it.

Now because, neither they have any witness, nor argument, so it is clear that they follow only their desires and do, whatever they wish to do. You do not have any desire to follow their wills and do as they say. You should never acknowledge the superiority of such people, who try to falsify the Revelations of Allah Almighty. They do not believe in the Day of Resurrection and ascribe others equal with their Lord Almighty.

We have come to know a very useful matter from this verse, and a necessary issue has been finalized from it, that is to say; we should not obey such people, who do neither believe in the Noble Qur’an with true heart, nor have faith in the Doomsday, and those, who give importance and priority to others and their sayings, equal to God Almighty, but more than Him.

If (God forbid), there are such people among the Muslims, then they do not have any authority to make laws and legal decisions. They are not worthy of making laws or deciding the religious cases.

  فَإِن سَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشْرَكْنَا وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن شَىْءٍ كَذَٰلِكَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُوا۟ بَأْسَنَا قُلْ هَلْ عِندَكُم مِّنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوهُ لَنَآ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَخْرُصُونَ 148

قُلْ فَلِلَّهِٱلْحُجَّةُ ٱلْبَٰلِغَةُ فَلَوْ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 149

148b.  Say: Have ye any knowledge then bring it forth to Us? Lo! ye follow naught but an opinion, and lo! ye do but guess. 149.  Say: For Allah’s is the Final Argument. Had He willed He would indeed have guided all of you.

148b.  Qul  hal  ‘indakum-min  ‘ilmin-fatukhrijuuhu  laNaa.  ‘In-  tattabi-‘uuna  ‘illaz-zanna  wa  ‘in  ‘antum  ‘illaa  takh-rusuun.   149.  Qul  fa-LIllaahil-Huj-jatul  Baaligah.  Falaw  shaaa-‘a  lahadaakum  ‘ajma-‘iin.

Commentary

‘Ilm – (to know, the knowledge), here it aims such decision, due to which, the heart is satisfied, whether its sources are logical arguments or experience etc.

Tukhrijuuhu – (Bring it forth), actually this word is tukhrijuun.  After the “question”, use of alphabetical letter “Fa” became the reason to delete the last letter “n”. Its origin is ‘akhraaj, which has been derived from kharuuj. Kharuuj means “to come out, to appear”. ‘Akhraaj means “to draw out, to disclose”.  

Zann – such decision, which may not satisfy the heart, because that has not still been proved by argument or experience, but it is hoped that it would be sound.  

Takh-rusuun – (they guess), this word is from khars, which means “to guess, to conjecture”. Neither it is guaranteed nor suspected. We can say it “a wild guess, a random talk”.

Huj-jatul  Baaligah – (the Final Argument), such argument, with which the claim is proved, is called Hujjat. ‘Al-Baaligah Is from the word Balogh, which means “to reach the limit”. ‘Al-Baaligah means “complete, reached the limit, in which, common sense would not have any doubt”.

It has been described clearly in this verse that the matters regarding talking as: Nobody has any certain proof and absolute authority to say that the calamities of the world do not belong to the evil deeds of the mankind, and the Wrath and Reward are nothing. The will of those people seems them a proof, who are enthusiasts of their wishes. Contrary to them, that word is true absolutely, which is recommended by Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). Their Argument is so matured that the hearts accrue perfect belief and complete satisfaction. And the sense of such people, who are not slaves of their carnal desires, accepts it forthwith.

It is commanded that You should describe them: Bring forth to Us that decisive argument, if you have any, that the wrath does not come due to evil deeds. Otherwise, it is open that your entire conversation in this matter is only a conjecture. That, which Allah Almighty has commanded, has very strong argument. That wisdom of human, which has the Light of Revelation, accepts this Final Argument immediately. And the conscience of every human being is witness upon it personally, on the condition that, it would not have become useless being under the material burden. Allah Almighty desires to enforce the humankind that he should accept the Truth by this Final Argument; otherwise, it was not difficult for Him to guide thus the entire people.

148a.  They who are idolaters will say: Had Allah willed, we had not ascribed (unto Him) partners neither had our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught. Thus did those who were before them give the lie (to Allah’s Messengers) till they tasted of Our punishment.

Commentary

It was understood from the previous verse that the Wrath of Allah Almighty has been lurking always upon the heads of evil doers. They are saved for a few days, but for how long? Their woe and ill-luck has been mounted on the neck of the entire nation. Whenever misdeeds become common in imitation of effectual and wealthy people then it should be understood that the nation is going towards the destruction. If neither it became cautious and nor anyone prevented the individuals from wicked-deeds, then the Wrath is beyond question. Coming not the Wrath forthwith, is also a Mercy of Allah Almighty, because the time for correction is gained from the respite. The same subject has been explained more clearly in this verse.

It is commanded that these people, who associate others in worship and who are stuck in evils, will search pretense of those deeds, which are against the humanity, that, which act they have been committing, is the same as their fathers used to do. They say: If Allah had not liked these matters, He would have stopped us very earlier. That, which you say that we should give up all things as - thinking about other things leaving Allah, and fixing some things forbidden and some lawful without commands of Allah, how a wonderful is it? Tell us! How can we obey You? These acts have been being done since the times of our forefathers. Neither any of them was ruined and nor the wrath came.

As a reply to their absurd thoughts, Allah Almighty commanded that you should say to them: Such Wrath, which may destroy everything, has been held up due to the spacious Mercy of Allah Almighty. It is being postponed for the reason that perhaps; these evildoers would become careful any time and give up evils, otherwise; the Wrath is ready every time for the guilty people.

The Wrath has come upon the ancient people and they were ruined due to the adversity of their disobedience. They used to say also before coming of the Wrath that “evil and sin is nothing. Continue committing whatever you wish. Wrath and punishment will never come”. At last, the Wrath came and they were removed from the Home Page of the Existence.

There is severe warning for us in this verse. We should understand it thoroughly that those deeds which have been forbidden in the Holy Qur’an and the evildoers have been frightened from their punishment; it is the time to leave them. This respite should be taken as a blessing.

The earthquakes, storms, diseases and calamities, which come usually in the world, are meant that the mankind should leave disobeying the Commands of Allah Almighty, having fear of His Wrath, because human being has no control over the earthquakes and the storms. Certainly the experience of mankind has increased, but mostly he can describe only the causes of these calamities from it, he is unable to challenge them. Saying that: These are the natural accidents, what interference of the acts of mankind is in the calamities? These are only their stupid sayings.

Commentary

It was described in the previous verse: We forbade the Children of Israel from using the lawful things due to their rebellion. When Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) said to the Children of Israel, they denied from it and said: These things have been coming forbidden since old times.

This saying of theirs has been confuted by Holy Qur’an, whereas they continued persisting on their word, though they could not bring any proof upon it. The people, who continue obstinately and firmly, while they know that they are at wrong, remain in this error that they will not be punished immediately. It has been replied in this verse.

It is commanded here that if they give a lie to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), though there is no any other reason of falsifying than it that their heart does not desire to accept Your Saying. One more reason may be that they think; if they accepted, they would be disgraced.

Allah Almighty commands to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Say to them! You are liars and going to stay on the false and wrong. You are not punished immediately for wicked deeds because your Lord is a Lord of All-Embracing Mercy. He does not seize the evildoer at once, but give respite to him.

Moreover, it does not mean that you deem it, as, your behavior is correct and you are not guilty. Although Allah Almighty loosens the string of guilty but the guilty shall be punished certainly sooner or later, if he/she did not attend the Court of Allah Almighty and beg for forgiveness, for repenting due to his/her sin, because His Wrath will never be withdrawn from the guilty people. It is only His Mercy, Which has stopped Him from punishing, that perhaps, the evildoer repent of own sins.

The matters, which can we understand from this verse and many other verses, are:

·         When you see any disobedient of the Commands of Holy Qur’an happy, wealthy and active, you should not suppose that proclamation of punishment and Wrath for the guilty people is only a warning, otherwise, what is its reason that the entire blessings exist for the sinners and they are enjoying their lives. Anyone of them suffers no injury.

·         The guilty people shall be punished and the Wrath of Allah Almighty shall never be withdrawn from them. Delay in the punishment is due to any other reason, proper time for which has been fixed. That will not be ignored, when the time reached.

·         If any individual of a folk commits an evil, its burden falls on his/her entire nation. A time will come when the whole nation will be destroyed, if evil deeds of the individuals have been increasing, because it is duty of the entire nation to stop the evildoers from committing. If the nation remained careless from her duty, she will be ruined at last.

  وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِى ظُفُرٍ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْشُحُومَهُمَآ إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَآ أَوِ ٱلْحَوَايَآ أَوْ مَا ٱخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيْنَٰهُم بِبَغْيِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ 146

146.  And unto those who are Jews We forbade every animal with claws. And of the cows and the sheep forbade We unto them the fat thereof save that upon the backs or the entrails, or that which is mixed with the bone. That We awarded them for their rebellion. And lo! We verily are Truthful.

146.  Wa  ‘al-laziina  haaduu harramNaa  kulla  zii-zufur.  Wa  minal-baqari  wal-ganami  haram-Naa  ‘alay-him  shuhuuma-humaaa  ‘illaa  maa  hamalat  zuhuuru-humaaa  ‘awil-hawaayaaa  ‘aw  makh-talata  bi-‘azm.  Zaalika  Jazay-Naahum-  bi-bagyihim;  wa  ‘inNaa  la-Saadiquun.

Commentary

Hawaayaaa – (the entrails), this word is plural of Hawiy-yah, which has been derived from Hawaaa. Hawaaa means “to surround, to envelope anything inside. Hawiy-yah is the thing, which is wrapped around with any other thing to hide in the wrapper. Here it aims “the entrails”, which cling with one another along with the attachment of fat.

This description is under discussion since previous verses that the individual, who believes that someone else has power to fix the things forbidden or lawful, is an idolater. It is the basic concept of Islam that neither any person is empower and nor any other should be taken as he can determine the laws and rules for him/her, or he can make law for any field of his/her life except Allah Almighty.

There is no one other Law-maker for mankind but Allah Almighty. The entire social, collective, economical and political laws are based on the Commands of Allah Almighty. That law, which has not been made on this foundation, will never be acceptable. In this connection, it is to explain that neither can you determine anything lawful and nor prohibited.

Allah Almighty has prescribed the Rule that the entire things are lawful for human being except those which have been forbidden by Allah Almighty Himself. Those things were mentioned in the previous verse, which were forbidden for food or any other use. It has been described in this verse to explain about His (God’s) Power that He forbade the Jews from the use of some lawful things due to their disobedience and rebellion behavior.

It is commanded: We forbade every that animal unto the Children of Israel, which does not have the fingers separately from one another; for instance the camel, and the fat of the cows, goats and the sheep, but that fat of these cattle was not forbidden, which was upon their backs, bones or with the entrails, for the reason that they were mischievous and used to disobey Allah Almighty.

Allah Almighty says: “Lo! We verily are Truthful”. This command of Allah Almighty is due to the reason that the Jews used to say: These things were not forbidden for us only because of disobedience, but these have been coming forbidden with effect from the times of Prophets Noah and Abraham (peace be upon Them). This matter has been explained clearly in the beginning of Part – 4 (Lan  Tanaaluu) of Holy Quran.
