Commentary
Miisaaqa – (covenant, treaty, agreement, negotiation), this word is made from the
word wasuuq, which means
‘to trust’. Miisaaq means ‘trustworthy promise’.
Gulf – (covered), it is plural of ‘aglaf,
which has been derived from gilaaf.
‘Aglaf is the thing, which
is as hidden in the cover that anything may not reach there from outside.
Taba-‘a -
(set a seal, stamped), this word is from taba’,
which means ‘to seal, to print, to publish, to stamp, to press the congealed
thing (with a stamp), which has been put over that thing which needs to be
sealed, so that the letters of the stamp may grow. With this practice, the
thing which is sealed, that becomes safe and nothing can enter there.
It
was signified in the previous verses that the Jews were punished excessively.
Now it is being explained, “Why the Jews were awarded with too much severe punishments”?
There would be no other nation in the world which did so much impudence and
then remained safe from complete destruction. It was result of the
supplications of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) that they were not ruined.
If they had believed in the Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him), then certainly they would have become superiors also in
the world as well as their Hereafter would have been arranged. But they were
hunted by punishment of their misdeeds and remained unfortunate from noble
graciousness like Islam.
It
is commanded that they were beaten black and blue because they broke strong
covenant, promises and firm treaties like a raw thread, and began to do against
them openly. They have denied clear, unfolded and pure signs of Allah Almighty that they left behind His
entire commandments. They have slain the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon
them), Who used to tell them about the Straight Path, while They (peace be upon
them) had not committed any crime. What can be more tokens of hard-heartedness
and faithlessness than it that they killed such true Well-Wishers without any
cause?
They
replied impudently after listening to the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him), “Your talk cannot reach our hearts because those have been
enfolded in covers carefully. Your words remain outside of our hearts and
cannot find a way to enter into them”. It was the result of all these matters
that very severe disasters were sent upon them. That, what they say, “Our
hearts are enfolded in covers”, is not true, but Allah Almighty has set a seal upon them for
their straying and disbelief. Now they will never believe and save a few of
them who have believed, they have been deprived of the Guidance forever.
