45. And We prescribed for them
therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the
nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds
retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be
expiation for him. And whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath
revealed; such are wrongdoers.

Commentary
Tasaddaqa – (to give
alms, to forgive, to forego), it has been made from Sadaqah, which means
“alms-giving”. Here it aims, “the person, who has been teased, forgives the sin
of him (in the way of charity), who tyrannized”. It is his kindness; otherwise
he can demand the retaliation lawfully. This forgiveness is alms-giving (charity), and his sins will be forgiven in its retaliation.
Another unreasonable matter of the Jews has been
described in this verse. Allah Almighty says, “We prescribed for them
in the Torah: the life for the life (the person, who killed someone else, will
be killed), and the eye for the eye (who injured an eye of any other, his eye
of that side will be injured and as much he injured, so much his eye will be
injured), and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for
the tooth, and for the wounds retaliation is likewise he wounded the other. But
the Jews did not use to obey this order. They used to show favor of the higher class people and by
taking bribes, they saved the offender. They had to commit that the law
of Allah Almighty
would be enforced and the criminal should be punished properly. However,
whosoever forgives the offender himself and does not take retaliation, his sins
will be forgiven. But the persons, who do not wish to issue the law for their
own purpose, surely they are tyrants. The Muslims should take it as a lesson
from them.
