Commentary
‘Ajdaru – (more
likely), this word is from judurun. Judurun means “to be able
to”. The person, who is more (in any attribute) than someone else in
comparison, is called ‘ajdaru. In common use, it is said “he can do only
this, unable to perform any other work”.
Inhabitants of any city; learn
quickly the manners and the etiquettes because they live in such environment
where means of education are spread. Contrary to this, the inhabitants of
villages are of hard nature and unable to learn new things quickly. In the
beginning, there was mention about the inhabitants of the city that three kinds
of people are found there i.e. Infidels, Hypocrites and true Believers.
Though, capacity of their
temperament wants to learn the good things quickly. On the contrary, the
villagers are more uncivilized. Therefore, we can observe the difference
between inhabitants of the city and the village every day. Even then; above
three kinds of people exist into them. In this verse, common condition of the
wandering Arabs (villagers) has been described.
It is commanded that usually
inhabitants of the villages are more hard on their old habits. There are a few
people into them who can understand the matters of higher level. While
infidelity and hypocrisy has been in force into them; then now; they have held
severely these habits and have become expert in both. Their natures have become
so, that they are very slow in learning new principles and manners.
They are not capable of
learning such formal Rules and Regulations which Allah Almighty has sent down
by means of His last Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).
But God Almighty is Aware of miseries of entire people’s natures and their
capacities. And He treats every individual according to everyone’s capability
and intelligence. Therefore, difficult works are not for them (villagers). Moreover,
even such higher ranks will not be given to them which are for the wise and
affable ones.
It is known from this verse that environments and surroundings
take part to correct the temperament of the human being. By living with
civilized people, a man gets utmost maturity. We learnt from it that correction
of environment is most important item for education and training.
