Commentary
At first, those people were illustrated by a simile of dog who
give importance to the worldly dignity, pomp and splendor. These people are
confused every time in collecting the luxury goods of the world, and they
remain upset and confused in the same embarrassment every time. Whether you
advise them or not, tell them useful matters or not, they have to remain
engaged every time in their own business.
It has
been described in this verse that the people like them have fallen far away
from the humanity. They remain engaged in the collection of worldly things; are
desirous of getting superiority in money, wealth and power from one another.
And they have been destroying themselves.
It is commanded that these
fascinated people of the world cast the Revelations of Allah Almighty behind.
Which thing has remained next to save them from loss now? They have been
running for the name and pomp of the world, and there is darkness in every
direction, because the Light could be taken from the Revelations of God
Almighty only. But they put those Revelations in the trash; saying that those
were false and fabricated. Now; there is nothing which may save them from the
stumbles and pits of the way. Soon, they will be laying face-down in
any ditch. Certainly, they have been damaging themselves by falsifying Our
Revelations. If they say: we have knowledge. We are scientists. Our awe has
been spreading everywhere. We have no deficiency of the light.
Then;
cause to hear them: it is not necessary that only useful things are seen by
knowledge and science, unless Allah Almighty does not guide. Even the science
is origin of destruction. Those who turned away from Allah Almighty and He left
them without saving from the wrong way; they will die tomorrow; if not today.
They can inherit nothing but loss only.
It is the fact that science and knowledge cannot be guarantee of
deliverance of the human being. None should be proud of them. Whosoever
considers that he has attained everything by his knowledge, now there is no
need of God Almighty and His Revelations, you should say to that ignorant: If
you compare your knowledge and science with the Science and Knowledge of God
Almighty, your knowledge and science have no reality against His; even equal to
a grain of mustard seed. If He desire, He can break these webs of the spider of
yours within a moment. It happened many times earlier and even now it may
happen any time too. (God forbid).
