Lesson
Laa tuf-siduu – (Make not mischief), this word came out
from the word Fasaad - (Quarrel;
riot; disturbance; rebellion; war; sedition; mutiny). Here the meanings of
“Make not mischief” are the sins which interrupt in the system. When these
circumstances become usual, these interrupt in the world peace and system of
universe. Fasaad is biggest crime
according to the teachings of Islam.
Muslihuun – (Peace-makers). This word has been
derived from the word Salaah, which
is opposite to Fasaad. With ‘Fasaad’ the system is damaged and with ‘Salaah’ the system is corrected.
Another worst mischievous cleverness of the Hypocrites is being described in
this verse. To remain established on any bad manner and preaching for it is a
big crime in accord with the Divine’s Law and the Hypocrites use to do it. Now
they have started spreading Fasaad
also including the creation of mismanagement. Behind the screen, conspiracy and
showing themselves as friends; enmity became their habit. The Heart disease
overcame the Hypocrites so much that they forgot distinction among good and
bad. Whenever they are instructed not to make mischief with this mode of their
acts in the country, they say, “We are peace-makers only. But indeed they are
mischief-makers. How is it a big mischief that Infidels get supposing due to
their hypocrisy, “there is no excellence/beauty in Islam because being Muslims,
these people are still involved in the sins.” On the other hand they tempt
deceiving the Muslims. They claim themselves that they are Muslims but have not
fear of God in their hearts. Due to their behavior, there is a risk that others
will also forget God-Fearing.
It is found now that good behavior grows among the people with the Truth, which
becomes cause of peace-making in the world. And hypocrisy interrupts in the
management of the world. When a person reaches this stage and does not
understand his weakness, then the ruin seizes him. His wisdom and internal
perception ends.

And when it is said
unto them:
Believe as the people
believe, they say: shall we believe as the foolish believe? Beware! They
indeed are the foolish but they know not.

Wa ‘izaa qiila lahum ‘aa-minuu
kamaaa ‘aamanan-naasu qaa-luuu
‘a-nu’-minu kamaaa’aa-manas-sufahaaa’. ‘Alaaa ‘innahum hu-mu-sufahaaa-‘u wa laakil-laa ya’-lamuun.

Lesson
An-naas - (The people), the particular people, who
believe and do not deceive anyone in the matter of faith.
As-sufahaaa’ - (The foolish), The people, who are
known as foolish, stupid, silly or nonsense.
Another habit of the Hypocrites is being discussed in this verse. When they are
addressed, “Believe! As the true Muslims believe whole heartily with purity and
sincerity” they reply, “Shall we believe as the foolish believe? As it were;
the Believers are foolish according to their opinion. Nigh to the Hypocrites,
the Muslims want to excel the Truth over a great majority of the infidelity,
which is entirely impossible. These Hypocrites of Madinah were very proud due to their power and strength. They had
faith that the poor, strangers and refugee Muslims would not be able to stay
against them. They thought that Islam is a game for a few days, which will be
over automatically. So the people, who are entering into it, are indolent from
its end and careless from their benefits.
Reply to their so saying, Allah Almighty commands, “Beware! They
indeed are the foolish but they know not”, because the Truth however, will overcome.
And the deceiver hypocrites will lose forever.
It is known at last, that the Hypocrites do not believe in the Day of
Resurrection. So there is much need of providence to believe in the Day of
Resurrection. Some volume of the pleasure of this world would have to be give
up for the ease of the next life, which will begin immediately after death,
believing in the Doomsday. Hypocrites do not think about the End. They remain
careless from that gain and loss, which will be forever. So they are the
foolish and blockhead.
