Commentary
Qarn –
(a period of nearly 100 to 120 years, a century, an age or hour etc.), its
plural is qaruun. In this lesson and the lesson before this, it
aims the people, who were living before this period, so it has been translated
as ‘generation’.
It was advised in the previous lesson: You should
think on the condition of those generations, which were living before you, who
acquired good influence during their own times. They possessed everything like
power, property and wealth etc. whereas you do not have the power and vigor as
much as We bestowed on them. Their income was in abundance. It used to rain
timely, plentifully and constantly. Resultantly, the gardens and husbandries
were green.
It has been described in this verse that the
rivers used to flow beneath the trees on the earth near their palaces. The
grain and the fruit used to grow abundantly. The entire useful things were
their obedient. In the presence of so much great blessings, goods and property,
they were required to remain every time engaged in thankfulness of the real
Benefactor i.e. Allah Almighty,
and be saved from His disobedience. They were also required to follow His
Messengers (peace be upon Them) and dwell like the pious people.
They began to fulfill their bestial desires
being proud of their power, property and wealth. They cast the command of Allah Almighty behind, did not
regard the admonition and preaching of His Beloved Messengers (peace be
upon Them) and were entangled in the wicked and evil deeds. At last, it was the
result that Allah Almighty destroyed
them due to punishment of their evil deeds and even that He deleted their names
from the world. Then He created other generations at their places, which began
to dwell there.
If we can get any gain from the history and
circumstances of the ancient people/generations, that is, we should do good
works by following their good works, and whatsoever they committed wrong and
suffered punishments as retaliation of their wicked deeds, keeping it in view,
we should escape from such bad acts.
Nowadays, the people, who are influenced by outward
show, say: The accidents in the life of the world are not unusual. What is
their relation with the bad acts of the human being? But it has been mentioned
clearly, over and over in the Holy Qur’aan and the Sayings (‘Ahaadith) of
the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that calamities and disasters
come in the world due to wicked acts and sins of the humankind, and the doom
will be due to them after death.
We should act upon the commands of Holy Qur’aan and
the Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him),
and be saved from the sins and evil deeds.
