Commentary
Some more
explanation has been made about repentance in this verse. Those persons who
abashed due to wrongdoings and errors, if they repented and began doing good works;
Allah Almighty will accept their repentance and forgive them. Here it is
commanded that those people who disbelieved intentionally after their belief,
then remained denying it until the end of their life, had they neither returned
from Infidelity, nor refrained from the enmity of the Observers of the laws of
Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon
him). Moreover, they used to argue and fight the believers.
When the time of
death reached and the angles (peace be upon them) came to seize their souls,
then they turned for repentance. Dear! What is the gain of this repentance? The
matter is clear that the purpose of repentance is correction and doing right.
If anybody repented at the time of death while there is no chance and time for doing
right, then there repentance is in vain.
When some people
feel trouble and either they become helpless from the apparent circumstances,
or the disease becomes incurable, then customarily and habitually they evoke
“repentance”. This type of repentance has no value. Some people perceive their
sins and incline towards Allah Almighty. But no sooner some time passed,
circumstances changed, than they forgot every thing, began evildoing and
disobedience again. Repentance of such people cannot be acceptable also.
In every day life,
we observe that some persons do good work either for ostentation or when they
are compelled to do so. As if, when they have power and authority, they do not
intend towards goodness. When they become helpless, then they begin to accept
that in future they would not commit evils. Such promise is useless. It means
that heartily they do not have aversion from the evil and love with the
goodness. On the contrary, they begin to evade false for getting benefit only
for the time being. Allah Almighty commands, “in fact, these are the people,
who are astray”.
We learnt from this verse that we should never go
near the evil, infidelity and denial. In addition, we should prostrate before
Allah Almighty always for the guidance unto the Straight Path. Whenever we
commit any error unknowingly, then we should repent forthwith.
