33. Say: My Lord has forbidden only
indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are hidden, and sin and
wrongful oppression, and that ye associate with Allah that for which no
warrant hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye
know not.

Commentary
It
was revealed in the previous verse that Allah Almighty has not prevented you
from wearing raiment/adornment and eating pure and good things, but He has
created all these things for the purpose that His bondmen in the world should
reap advantage. In this verse, those matters have been described, which are
forbidden by Him.
1.
He has forbidden indecencies (lewdness
and shamelessness), whether those are apparent or hidden.
2.
The sin is forbidden. The word ‘ism has
come in the verse, that is to say; Allah Almighty has forbidden “’ism”. ‘Ism means
“such act, which is against the Islamic Law and the effect of which is bad on
others or which is harmful for oneself as - committing suicide, making the
lawful things forbidden upon oneself without any reason, slackness in
worshiping physically like prayer and fasting etc. and such other matters, for
example; using alcohol, habit of intoxicating agents, gambling, use of poisons,
drying own hands and feet as usually jogi people etc. do.
3.
Using force against others without any
reason, teasing and hurting someone – like robbery, theft etc. all these kinds
of matters are included in it, in which, loss or damage of anyone comes,
whether that is only a little. These entire matters are included in forbidden.
4.
Worshiping someone else or perceiving
interference of any other like remover of difficulties or supplier of any want
except Allah Almighty, as idolaters of the Arab used to say: We honor the idols
because they are our recommendatory before Allah. And they used to tell that
Allah has appointed them as a source among Himself and us. Our desires are
fulfilled by means of them. But they have no proof of these affairs. Allah
Almighty has not revealed any such verse, from which it might be proved that He
(God) has given this responsibility to any other for supplying the wants of His
servants.
5.
Calumniating at random things in the
name of Allah Almighty. Obviously, we know about Allah Almighty only that,
which Holy Qur’an has described and His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has made us to understand. Except that,
which They have told and explained, saying by oneself about Allah Almighty will
be meant that we are telling such a lie, about which we have not been informed,
as the people of Makkah used to say: Allah has ordained to us to go
round Ka’-bah nude. We should understand from this statement
that Allah Almighty has commanded: Being naked is indecency and the indecency
is forbidden. If it is admitted in the Fine Arts, even then, it will remain indecent
and forbidden.
