Stage – 1, Verse – 174 of 286, Section –21 of 40
(Part - 2)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Lo! Those who hide aught of the Scripture which Allah hath
revealed and purchase a small gain therewith, they eat into their bellies
nothing else than fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of
Resurrection, nor will He make them grow. And theirs will be a painful doom.

Lesson
Samanan-qaliilan – (a small gain), the worldly
gains whether those are more comparatively to the gains and rewards of the
Doomsday, even then, those are very lesser and unreal. This is the actual
meaning of samanan-qaliilan.
God Almighty had
also included the orders and instructions regarding lawful and forbidden things
in the Divine’s laws of the Children of Israel, so that; the nation
may recognize the Straight Path. But out of that nation, a group of individuals
monopolized the religion and this group was considered as the scholars of the
religion and the monks. They began to explain and comment on the Scripture
revealed heavenly. Then, due to worldly temptation, they used to tell the
people those points, which favored them and purchased a small gain therewith
explaining topsy-turvy and exchanging according to the will of the people.
Hence the purpose of God’s commands finished. So like this; the class of
scholars went astray as well as they misled also the other people.
In this verse,
their punishment is being mentioned that; due to such error, they eat into
their bellies nothing else than fire, as if; the poison has been mixed in a
very delicious food, even then, apparently that food will be much tasty but
after reaching into the belly, it will ignite. Like this, these individuals are
ruining their hereafter due to worldly greed. Although, apparently, they are
passing their lives with pomp and show, and comfortably, the people respect
them, but in fact, their consequence will be much horrible.
Now three more
punishments are being narrated for those persons in this verse:
·
Allah Almighty will not speak to them on the Day of
Resurrection. So these bad scholars will be kept deprived from the Mercy and
Kindness of God Almighty. The Creator of the universe and Master of the Doomsday
will turn His face from them. It will be deprivation from His Mercy and
declaration of His anger.
·
They would never be pure
from the sins. Due to their sins God Almighty will put them into the Hell.
Purification and correction will never be obtainable by them. God Almighty will
forgive some other evildoers after punishment with His Mercy and purify them.
But these bad scholars will remain always in the Fire for burning. Neither
their sins will fall off, nor will they become pure and nor they will enter
the Paradise.
·
Horrible doom will be
for them; not only physically but also mentally and spiritually, and they will get
never rid of this trouble. May God Almighty save us from that Doom.
It is known from this
verse that how a big evil is “to hide the Just, not to disclose the Truth, to
interpret false of the true talks and expose wrongfully the Orders of God
Almighty, which has too many punishments”. It is a very great sin because due
to this sin, the entire nation goes to ruin and falls into the dark well of the
stray giving up the Straight Path. If, on the one side; speaking the truth and
fearlessness are superior qualities then; on the other side; hypocrisy and
hiding the truth are the worst moral crimes, and the Messenger (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) of God Almighty has explained that “speaking the truth before
any cruel ruler is Jihad (to try and strive).
