Commentary
‘
It
has been mentioned earlier that the people of Sodom
and its outskirts had been involved in a very bad and disgusting habit (carnal
copulation against nature). Allah Almighty chose His Prophet Lot (peace be upon
Him) and sent Him unto those people to cause to know them. He (peace be upon
Him) explained about the evils of their obscene act.
It
seems that they had understood it that really, it was a dirty and defiled act,
and its consequence is not other than a ruin. But instead of being abashed due
to this unchaste act, a stubborn arose in their hearts. It was required that
they were ashamed on their vicious act after understanding. But instead, it
happened that they began to blush that another person was going to admonish
them about the badness of their act, as though, their comprehension was less
than Him. They thought: We had to give up this evil at our own with our
pleasure. Now we shall never leave it.
This
is the devilish trick, with which Satan has obstructed and is baring many
servants of God Almighty from the Straight Path, and deprives them entirely
from the special advice of the Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon
Them). This perversion arises in their hearts that: Who is this person, preventing
us from our deed?
The
nation of Noah (peace be upon Him) was crazed in the same way and they drowned.
The tribe of ‘Aad was killed in the same mania. The people
of Thamud ruined themselves with their same thought. This is the
swagger due to which, improper stubbornness arises. Human being accepts his
death, but does not wish to see any other greater, a little, than him, and
coming into stubbornness, commits forbidden deeds immediately and forcibly.
Although, he knows that it will destroy him. It is called the evil of the soul. Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has taught us this
prayer: Allaahumma ‘a-‘iznii min sharrin-nafsii. (O
God! Save me from the evil of the soul). Result of those perverse and obstinate
people has been described in this verse.
It is commanded: We rained a rain
(of stones) upon them. After that, you saw the nature of consequence of
evildoers. Powers of the earth and the heavens are in the control and
omnipotence of Allah Almighty. Perhaps it would have been the form; as volcanic
materials kept being split. Volcanic materials of brimstone might be beneath
that storey of the land. Those materials of sulphur ran over with full force
and frittered away that part of the land, where those disobedient people lived.
They fell down into that abyss, which was produced due to flying of that
particular part of the earth, and the stones etc. had been falling upon them.
Allah Almighty keep us protected from His wrath.
