Commentary
It was explained earlier that Muslims should not think about
temporary benefits of the world, but they should meditate about its result
before doing every work. If the people of Makkah had won
against Islam, it would be meant that the freedom of the power of human’s
thinking would be crushed. Practical consequence of which would be that
whosoever desired, had chosen the tenet of operating others with force; by collecting
apparent power, own disciples and followers, wealth and riches, war equipment
and munitions etc. and the Peace would have been lost from the world. And only
this pastime would have prevailed that everyone had to think about other people
and keep them under own influence.
But God Almighty finalized this decision in the Holy Qur’an that
you should ruin the enemies of the freedom of human conscience. Being kind on
them is just like destroying the humanity and introducing the law of
bestiality.
God Almighty commands in this verse that freeing the captives
after getting ransom was too much big mistake at such occasion that a very
stern torment could come, because concession with those who break the
principles of human nature; is a strong reason of mandatory punishment. If the
anguish has not come, then its reason is that Allah Almighty has already
decided. And those decisions have been hindering at this time against the
anguish from God Almighty, which are as under:
· This favor with the captives was not shown intentionally,
because Allah Almighty had not commanded about it clearly that after getting
ransom; freeing the captives is forbidden. So, it was an error during
diligence; and there is no punishment due to error in diligence.
· The torment will not be sent in the presence of the Messenger of
God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
· The anguish will not come upon those people who beg pardon of
God Almighty.
The Muslims were afraid of so much big menace and considered
that they should not touch the wealth; which they received as ransom.
Therefore, next; it is commanded: This error was not committed intentionally,
so it is forgiven. That is good and lawful for you which you have already
taken. Use it as you wish; and keep your duty to Allah Almighty in future. Have
fear of God’s wrath. Beg pardon of Allah Almighty for that error which you have
committed unknowingly. Be hopeful of the Mercy of God Almighty and believe that
He forgives the sins and errors of those who repent and ask for His Mercy. And
He bestows His blessing on His obedient servants.
