115.
It was never Allah’s (part) that He should send a folk astray after He had
guided them until He had made clear unto them what they should avoid. Lo!
Allah is Aware of all things.
116. Lo! Allah! Unto Him belongeth the Sovereignty of
the heavens and the earth. He quickeneth and He giveth death. And ye have,
instead of Allah, no protecting friend nor helper.

Commentary
It was narrated in the previous
verse that some Muslims used to pray from Allah Almighty for forgiveness of
their idolater parents and relatives. They were prevented from it by saying
that “the forgiveness is only for them who believe in Allah Almighty, and are
ready to sacrifice their lives and wealth for obedience of His commandment”.
The idolaters do not believe in
Allah Almighty. Therefore, they can never be forgiven. After the revelation of
that verse, some Muslims thought, “would those people be punished who prayed
for forgiveness of the idolaters before the revelation of that verse? They have
been replied particularly in this verse.
It is commanded that only those
people will be punished who went astray. And near Allah Almighty, astray are
such people who disobey any commandment after its revelation. That person will
not be called to account who prayed for forgiveness of idolaters before the
revelation of the commandment.
Its formula and established
order is that those people who believed and began to follow the teachings of
Islam, they will be considered astray at such time when clear commandment has
been revealed that in future they should not commit such and such work, but
even then; one disobeys intentionally.
Therefore, those people who
prayed for forgiveness of idolaters before the revelation of this verse, they
will not be called to account due to this act. They will be called to account;
who will do so after prevention.
The Sovereign and God of the
heavens and the earth is One, Allah Almighty. Everything of the universe is
under His Command and Jurisdiction. Whosoever will disobey His commandment,
none is able to save him from His wrath and punishment.
Understand it thoroughly that
there is no protecting friend of you instead of Allah Almighty nor any helper.
Therefore, you should stand up tying your hands before Him. He only will be
Merciful on the obedient, and will punish to the disobedient.
