Commentary
God Almighty commands to His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Recite and cause to hear them with
truth the tale of the two sons of Adam (peace be upon him), {that how did they both
offer a sacrifice separately, and it was accepted from one of them and was not
accepted from the other. The other said: I will surely kill thee. The first
person answered: Allah accepteth only from those who ward off (evil)}. So that
they may understand that killing of an innocent for fulfilling own desire and refusing
from fighting according to God’s commandment is just like fighting against
Allah Almighty. This refusal is not due to the reason that they do not know
“how to slay”. But the object of their such behavior is that they kill the innocent
people, which is cause of disturbance in the society. And when Allah Almighty commands them to kill the enemies, due to slaying of which, the
disturbance and outbreak may be hindered. And peace is established. At that
time, they reply stupidly and refuse to strive. What can be result of this
denial except that those should be ruined and punished very severely, who
refused from Jihad.
Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him) desired to wed Abel
with a girl in accord with the procedure at that time. Cain, the brother of
Abel said, “No, I should be married this girl”. To finish the wrangling,
Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him) said to his both sons, “You both should offer
a sacrifice separately for the sake of Allah Almighty. That girl will be married with the person, whose sacrifice is
accepted”. It was an established order in those days that the person, who had
to offer a sacrifice, he used to bring any good thing and put it at a
prescribed place. The sacrifice of the person, whose was accepted, that
person’s thing was taken up by a fire, and whose thing was not eaten by the
fire, that was considered “Not accepted”.
The offering was brought by the both i.e. Abel and
Cain and kept at the specified place. The fire came and ate the offering of
Abel. It meant that application of Cain was rejected. Now the marriage of that
girl was required to be done with Abel. At this stage, fire of jealousy broke
out in the heart of Cain. He said to Abel very clearly, “I will kill you, if
you tried to wed that girl”.
Those people, who are frenzied of their wishes, they
know nothing except that their desires should be fulfilled, and that the person
should be driven back from the path, whoever becomes a stoppage in fulfilling
of their wish. For this purpose, they use to conspire, flatter, give a bribe
and threaten others, to such extent that, they never miss any opportunity, and
throw every care behind regarding everything like evil, reward, lawful and
unlawful. Cain adopted the same way too and threatened his own brother to kill
him.
Abel was a simple person, and had a civilized and
unraveled nature. He said, “My offering has been accepted. Its reason is that
neither I want to deprive any right of anyone, nor envy from any person, nor
intend to quarrel with anyone. I keep myself away from the matters of mischief
and disturbance. Allah Almighty likes the deeds of this kind and these are the
tokens of pious and abstinent people. And it is determined Divine Law that He
accepts the sacrifice of the pious and abstinent people”.
