54. (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh’s folk and
those before them; they denied the Revelations of their Lord, so We destroyed
them in their sins, and We drowned the folk of Pharaoh. And all were
evil-doers.

Commentary
It was described in the
previous verse that old people disobeyed the commands of God Almighty,
due to which; they did not achieve their object, like them; the disbelievers
will also not reap any advantage. Allah Almighty forgives the mistakes of His
servants and does not snatch those blessings; which He has bestowed on them.
But when the refractory of His servants crosses the limit and they do not care
to abstain from rebellious behavior, then His punishment is Severe too.
After that; a principle was
described that when the faith of the people becomes corrupted, then Allah
Almighty snatches His blessings from them. He hears everything and knows
everything. There is no one who may be saved from Him. For manifesting the same
principle in this verse; the attention has been drawn again unto the old
people.
It is commanded that their
intentions have become worse and their beliefs have been corrupted. The same
condition was of the folk of Pharaoh and those people who were before them. They
had denied all commands of God Almighty. Therefore, they all were punished due
to disobedience. The folk of Noah (peace be upon Him) was drowned in the storm
of water. The folk of ‘Aad was caught by gusts of wind. Thamud’s
people fell headlong due to earthquake and thunder. In short, at last; they
were ruined who rebelled.
The people of Pharaoh gripped
up their loins on the wickedness. They considered themselves great; but
disgraceful to others i.e. the Children of Israel. So, they were drowned in the
sea. Every one of them was tyrant. They considered that the prosperity is only
their right, and prepared to persecute others, whereas; betterment of the human
being is in it that he must bow before the Creator of the earth and the heavens
with humility, and consider: Everything which I have, all is of Him (God’s).
Neither have I any authority nor power. I am servant of God Almighty. I have no
other work to do except that I should obey wholeheartedly that command which He
has sent down through His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him). If I do not perform so, then I am going to cross my limitation; and that
is a tyranny.
The rebellious people who do not consider others like them and
continue to keep them under their influence always, they all are like Pharaoh.
The same fault was in the idolaters of Makkah. Therefore, they were
being caused to hear the condition of the people of Pharaoh, so that they might
take heed from it and disobey not the commands of God Almighty.
