Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We
revealed, after We had made it clear to mankind in the Scripture: such are
accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse-

Lesson
‘Innallaziina yaktumuuna – (Those persons who hide),
this word has come out from the word kat-maan, that means to hide
anything intentionally and where it is necessary to disclose, it is not
disclosed there. It signifies towards the people of Scripture and all those individuals
who do so.
‘Al-bayyi-naatu – (the proofs,
clear Revelations) it means those signs and orders which are clear and splendid
themselves. Moreover, bayyi-naat also means the proofs
of the Messenger-hood regarding Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him).
‘Al-laa-‘inuun – (The people, who have the
power to curse), its origin is la’an and single laa-‘in. La’-nat means
curse, reproof and reproached. According to the phrase of Divine Law of the Religion
it signifies that the person, who is deprived of the Mercy of Allah Almighty,
away from the Kindness of God Almighty.
We have discussed
in the previous lessons that the human beings should produce into them superior
qualities and the best morality. They should remain busy in the worship of God
Almighty and recitation, and preach others to choose the straight path, not to
get rid of the patience during troubles, calamities and difficulties, use the
blessings and favors of God Almighty correctly on proper places and should not
be ungrateful to Him.
In this verse, it
has been described that the individuals, who will hide the proofs and the
guidance, which God Almighty revealed, will never preach others, will tell the
people false and self made manners, hide the foretelling and proofs mentioned
in the Heavenly Books (Scriptures) about the Last Messenger; Muhammad (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him), such people are accursed of Allah
Almighty and accursed of those people, who have the power to curse. Such people
go away from the Mercy and Kindness of God Almighty, because whenever the
misfortune is revealed due to hiding the Truth, other creatures fall also in
its whirlpool.

Except those who repent and amend make manifest (the truth).
These it is toward whom I relent. And I am the Relenting, the
Merciful.

‘Illal-laziina taabuu wa ‘as-lahuu wa
bayyanuu fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika ‘Atuubu ‘alayhim. Wa
‘A-nat-Tawwaabur-Rahiim.

Lesson
Taabuu – (repent, the persons who did penitence). Taw-bah means
repentance from sins, sorrow for wrongdoings, and return to the straight path,
to shun or abstain from any evil and to device or intend to give it up for
future.
Allah Almighty has
declared three terms and conditions for forgiveness of sins in this verse:
·
Penitence, it means decision to leave the sin with its
perception and admission.
·
Correction – to rectify the created badness due to sins and
mischief.
·
Compensate the oppressed; to disclose the matters which were
hidden to commit the evil.
It has been
expressed in the previous verses that the children of Israel and the Christians
used to change the Commands and Instructions revealed by God Almighty due to
worldly greed and avarice or afraid of enmity due to speaking the Truth, and
used to hide the real Orders. So due to their hiding the Just, many people used
to go astray, the Believers used to lie down in doubts and the followers of the
truth used to suffer the troubles of various sorts. Therefore, God Almighty
determined them the Accursed.
The news regarding Messenger-hood
of the last Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) was revealed in the previous
Heavenly Books (Scriptures) of the Children of Israel and the Christians, but
when they observed that they would get worldly loss due to believing in the
Prophet-hood of the last Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him), their monopoly would finish, they
began to hide this Glad-tidings.
God Almighty
proclaimed about such evildoers that they will be thrown away from the Mercy of
God Almighty as punishment and they will become target of cursing and taunting
of God’s other creature.
In this verse,
Allah Almighty has commanded that these accursed people should not become hopeless
entirely. Moreover, if they refrain from bad habits and hiding the Truth, and
“repent and amend make manifest (the truth). These are; it is toward whom; I
relent. And I am the Relenting, the Merciful”. Moreover they will come under
the shadow of His Mercy. They will be entitled for His blessings and
favors.
