Better recompense from God is for them who keep away from the evil
Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)
Stage – 1, Verses –102b & 103 of 286, Section –12 of 40
(Part - 1)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

102b. Nor did they (the two
angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation,
therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two
(angels) people learn that by which they cause division between man and his
wife; but they injure thereby no-one save by Allah’s leave. And they learn
that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that
he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and
surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but
knew.
103. And if they
had believed and kept away from evil, a recompense from Allah would certainly
have been better, if they had only known.

Lesson
Yu-‘all-imaani - (they both taught) this word is from Ta’-liim. It means “to teach”. But here this word isn’t used in
these meanings that the angels used to teach the magic to people. Moreover the
meanings of Ta’-liim are “to inform,
to show and to tell” here.
Fitna-tun-(disorder, badness, quarrel, test, examination, temptation) Here
it is used in the meanings of test & examination only.
Some quarrelsome persons
of Babel used to come near the Angels and say, “you prevent us from
black magic and witchcraft but let we know about the magic. Which are the acts
of magic due to which, using them is infidelity? After replying them, when the
angels used to tell them about magic, its actions and words, then these
evil-doers listened carefully and used it as art.
Allah Almighty commands
also about this mischief that these people exercised the particular branch of
magic with the help of which. they produced quarrel and misunderstanding
between husband and wife. Moreover it is the worst evil-doing creating
misunderstanding between the two hearts, and specially creating quarrel between
husband and wife is the worst act.
Advice of Harut and
Marut was to be enough that they used to tell themselves a test and prevent the
Jews from infidelity and evil. But they didn’t learn the lesson. They didn’t
listen to their advice but carried on committing violently and evil-doing.
Although they used magic
to harm others but Allah Almighty says that without His Command they cannot
harm anyone. Moreover they will harm themselves from it. They are going to mar
their own future by doing these evil acts. It is possible that they get some
temporary worldly benefits but at the end (on the Doomsday) they will have no favor.
Allah Almighty says that
these people have sacrificed the advantages of the Day of Resurrection in
exchange to worldly ordinary advantages. That is much harmful for them. If they
would have adopted the Right Path instead of this way, believed in Allah and
had fear of His agony, Allah would have given them better reward surely.
