Commentary
In
the previous section, the Muslims were forbidden that they should not fix the
lawful and pure things as unlawful for themselves, and it was told that they
should give up those some things, which are impure and bad. It was signified
that the evil things are those, due to which Satan gets chance to cause to
fight and raise disturbance among the human beings. On the contrary, Allah Almighty has kept very big
advantages in the good, pure and lawful things. The aim to cause to understand
from it was that certainly those deeds and things are harmful for the human
beings, which are forbidden by Allah Almighty.
And certainly those deeds and things are useful and advantageous for the
mankind, either in the world or on the Day of Resurrection, which are commanded
by Him to be done. Therefore, the Muslims should stop those acts immediately,
about which Allah Almighty has
forbidden and do those acts immediately, about which He has enjoined to do,
because it is impossible that Allah Almighty
bids to do a deed and there is no usefulness in that command.
The
verse under discussion today, makes the same subject known clearly that science
of human being is not sufficient to know the good and the evil of the
things/acts. So they should be informed that pure things and impure things will
never be alike in grades. If the pure thing is even less in quantity, even then
that is better than the impure in plenty. Although, the evil becomes public in
each direction and the people are taken in that the thing, which has become
prevalent, would be good. If the evil has spread everywhere and the people do
it generally, then it does not mean that it would be good. Goodness and badness
of anything depends on the command of Allah Almighty.
At
the end of the last verse it has been described that the men of understanding
should be mindful of their duty to Allah Almighty.
Hope of their liberation is in it only. Another point has come out in this
verse also that the decision should not depend on the majority of votes or
opinions, but it should be according to the commands of Allah Almighty and His Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
