Commentary
Yas-tankif – (will scorn), this word is from ‘istankaaf, which means ‘to
scorn, to feel shame, to have a sense of disgrace, to turn up one’s nose and
knit the eyebrows, to disclose one’s disgust’.
‘Al-mu-qarra-buuna – (most favored), this word has been derived from the word ‘Qurb’,
which means ‘propinquity, nearness’. It is plural of Muqarrab, that is to say; the
person, who is very close to someone. ‘Al-malaaa-‘ikatul-mu-qarra-buuna – {most favored Angels (peace be
upon them)}, as the Seraphim named ‘Gabriel, Michael, Israfiel and ‘Izrail
(peace be upon them) are considered most favored Angels of Allah Almighty. They (peace be upon them)
have been detailed on specific duties.
The
People of the Scripture have been commanded that Messenger Jesus (peace be upon
Him) takes up glory with His mind as being Servant of Allah Almighty. He
will never turn, nor will most favored Angels (peace be upon them) turn up
their noses and knit their eyebrows from it. Those people who steal away from
the worship of Allah Almighty and scorn their services,
they should remember the Truth that Allah Almighty will gather the entire human
beings unto Him on the Day of Resurrection. Then, He will give rewards to those
out of them, who would be His servants, well-doers, Believers and His obedient.
He will bestow them comfort and satisfaction, and will please them according to
their status in abstinence and chastity. But those people, who used to run away
from His worship and scorn His service, they will suffer from a very painful
doom. Nobody will be able to save them.
Heretofore,
the People of the Scripture were addressed and guided in clear words in this
matter that they should not transgress the limits of their religion, nor utter
aught concerning Allah Almighty,
His commands and His Scriptures save
the truth, and should not consider that exaggeration and wrong saying are
lawful. They should not talk that, which is entirely and certainly contrary to
the truth about Jesus (peace be upon Him). While Messiah (peace be upon Him)
takes it as a pride to be a servant of Allah Almighty, then why do you avoid
asserting this matter? He (peace be upon Him) never scorned to be a slave unto Allah Almighty, then who are you turning up your nose and knitting the
eyebrows from it?
