Commentary
The punishment for the person,
who left the way of Muslims, opposed the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) and adopted the path of polytheists, was described in the
previous verse, that he will be thrown in to the Hell. He can do in the world,
what he wants. At last he have to face his Creator Almighty. He should know
that the place, which is ready for him and which he has chosen for himself by
adjustment with the polytheists, is very dreadful.
A common command has been
issued in this verse that “Belief in a plurality of God Almighty” is such a
sin, which will never be forgiven by Allah Almighty. However, if any person
remains in the circle of Islam and obeys His decisions, then Allah
Almighty can pardon, if He wishes, his all little and big sins and wrong
deeds of both types, which have not reached the stage of His partnership. For
example, if Ta’-mah had not left Islam, and had not
adopted the company of polytheists, who were opponents of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him), then there was a hope of pardon from the blame and theft.
But after leaving Islam and choosing the path of polytheists, now he will never
be forgiven, and his abode is Fire of Hell forever. There will be no form of
coming out from the Hell by the persons, who denied the Unity of God Almighty
and died upon polytheism.
Next order is that who ascribes
plurality to Allah Almighty, he wanders far astray,
totally separate from that path which leads to Forgiveness and Mercy of Allah
Almighty. Surely the end of that path is Hell. The way of infidelity
is entirely separate from pardon and pity. He doesn’t have any connection with
absolution and mercy, who wanders far astray.
This verse has already
mentioned earlier in this Chapter (Surah),
but there, it was a description about the Jews, who used to claim, “We are selected
servants of God and children of a Prophet (peace be upon Him). We cannot be entangled
in torment and difficulties, and if; even there would be, that would be only
for a few days”. They were told there, “Open your ears and hear! Polytheists
shall never be pardoned, while you are involved in ascribing plurality to Allah Almighty, worship of calf and say that
Prophet Ezra (peace be upon Him) was a son of God”. (Let us flee to Allah
Almighty).
Here the Muslims have been warned that the person, who
ascribes plurality to Allah Almighty, cannot trust in His
absolution, and turning from His Command and obeying someone else is also
polytheism besides worship other than Allah Almighty, or having
belief in any person that he is His son or has anything like His beauty. As
that thief (Ta’-mah) did in like
manner that he turned from the order of punishment and adopted the association
of infidels only for the purpose that with them; there was no (worldly) punishment
of his crime.
