Commentary
In the previous verses, the entire human beings have been
reminded that every individual is responsible to know Allah Almighty. He should
not consider his Lord to any other, being entangled in imitation for anyone
else, but should believe that his Lord is God Almighty only.
If he has not stained his soul by imitating the people, then
there is no reason of his denial from admitting after knowing Allah Almighty
that He is his Lord. His soul has accepted before his coming in this world in
front of Allah Almighty that “You are my Lord”. Now in this verse, condition of
those people is being described who forget everything being entangled in the
greed of casual benefits of this world, and begin to consider their guardian,
patron and a giver to any individual or thing. They hear and see the
Revelations of God Almighty, examine His Tokens continuously but disregard them
totally.
It is commanded: O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him)! Recite unto all of them; the tale of that individual whom
We gave Our Revelations, from which, he knew clearly that everything is in the
obedience of Allah Almighty. But when the time of trial came, he could not
perform according to his knowledge and opposed to the Revelations. He became
blind; being entangled in the greed of the world. Satan is on the lookout for
such occasions. He pursued him closely in spite of everything and brought him
nowhere by seducing. Consequently, his name was deleted from the list of those
who are righteous and was written in the list of those who went astray and
perverse.
In this regard, the Commentators differ that who was that
person? Maximum of them have told that his name was Bal-‘am bin
Baa-‘uur. This man was living during the period of Prophet Moses (peace be
upon Him). He was a great devout person and an adorer of God Almighty. His
supplication was accepted immediately. He knew well-efficiently that Moses
(peace be upon Him) was a Messenger of Allah Almighty. Even then, the enemies
of Moses (peace be upon Him) prepared him by giving many rarities that he
should imprecate for Moses (peace be upon Him). And he was ready due to the
greed of wealth and riches.
But it is clear that we have no concern with the
name of that individual. Those signs which have been described were found in
many earlier people also. And today too, there is no deficiency of the people
like him, who choose intentionally the wrong way and destroy their Hereafter
being entangled in the greed of worldly goods. We should take a warning from
such kind of people and hold the Straight Path fast by spurning the avarice and
desire.
