Lesson
The religious and worldly wicked deeds and evils of which
persons were described in the previous verses, now their specific chastisement
has been discussed; those persons will be punished because of their tyranny and
dishonesty. Their biggest sin is that they tried to falsify the truth after its
comprehension. They turned away notwithstanding knowing the path of goodness, did
not draw their attention towards the preachers of rectitude and righteousness.
This same trick was of the Jews and the Christians. These
people had known by reciting the Scriptures (Heavenly Books) that after the
Prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them), the last Messenger, Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will be sent. When he was sent,
they refused after recognizing him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him).
Punishment for those people is that on them rests the curse
of God Almighty, His angels (peace be upon them) and of the men combined. In
addition, they also shun themselves personally, when they say with their own
tongues, “Allah’s curse upon the liars and tyrants” doing so they reprove in
fact themselves.
This curse is forever for them. Moreover, they will be involved
in grievous torment on the Day of Resurrection. Neither their Doom will be
lightened, nor will they be reprieved for a while. The fire has not a
characteristic that it would lessen its heat, burning or inflammation for some
time. That Fire would be brought by Omnipotent and it would be Divine wrath for
them.
Usually those people strengthen the power of badness who,
after understanding the reality of goodness, adopt the path of evil only due to
following the casual, fickle and useless inducements. These people mostly harm
the power of goodness. Other persons are deceived strongly due to their wickedness.
Their faith becomes unsettled. Their belief on goodness weakens.
Those people who have doubts in the path of guidance and
good fate, actually they become the cause of others’ depravity also. Due to
their natural disposition of this indirect badness, they are determined to
deserve the curse. The curse of Allah Almighty, His angels (peace be upon
them), the Muslims and the persons of good souls (combined) rests on them.
la’-natAllaahi – (the curse of Allah), la-‘a-na is its root. Mal-‘uun is he, who is cursed. It means distance
and the sound of a lash in the air or of winnowing or of beating clothes
against a stone; curse. According to phraseology, it means the distance from
the pity, mercy and exclusion from favor and bounty of God Almighty is called
‘Curse’.
