Commentary
Tawallaa – (turned away), it
means ‘to disobey, to revolt’.
Hafiizun – (a warder, a guard),
that is to say; the Watching, who hinders and the protector.
A valuable advantage has been
mentioned in this verse, which, due to coming of the last Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in this world, can be acquired
by the people. It is the fruit of the Belief that those people, who have
believed in Allah Almighty as ‘their and the entire worlds’ Creator, Preserver,
Nourisher and Supplier of all needs’, surely they want to obey Him. How a great
light is for them in it that Allah Almighty sent a Man duly appointed as His
selected Messenger (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him),
and proclaimed that the person, who will obey his orders, he will Our obedient
and who will disobey Him, he will be considered as he disobeyed Us. He will not
be able to please Us (Allah Almighty) through any other method. How a big
kindness of Allah Almighty is that He made too much easy and practicable His
own obedience for the mankind.
Then He commanded to His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), “Continue explaining
before the people those instructions, which they have to do. If someone does
not act upon your sayings, in this matter you will not be held responsible. We
have not appointed you as a warder or guard over them. We will decide about
these disobedient people at Our Own. You should neither grieve and nor care for
them”. Alas! Some people think that they can make their life good by following
the rich, the proud and the haughty persons, leaving such a kind and loving
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
Allah Almighty has established
this principle forever in this verse that the person, who wants to be Our
obedient, he should obey Our Messenger, and who will not obey the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), he is Our disobedient. He will
be punished with the same torment, which has been fixed for the disobedient. In
the earlier verses, it has been told clearly that if the punishment is awarded
to you, that will be from Allah Almighty and cause of it will be your own
deeds. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) can
neither be held responsible, nor does the blame rest upon him (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him).
There is also an invitation
towards the easy path for the human being in this verse, as well as a vigorous
threat too along with it. If you will obey the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), then your life of this world
and the Hereafter will be correct, because due to obedience you will become
obedient servant of Allah Almighty and there is nothing more than it to
decorate the life. Moreover, if you will disobey, then you should not charge
the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for being punished.
The only duty of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
is to deliver the Message of Allah Almighty. It does not include in his duty to
drive you forcibly on the Straight Path. Due to disobeying the orders of the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), you disobeyed Allah
Almighty. Now God will punish you Personally.
