Commentary
Qasdu – (the
straight), origin of this word is qasad, which means “the direction
and the straight (both)”. Here it aims – the straight. Another word for it
is mustaqiim, which also means straight. Qasdus-Sabiili means Siraatul
Mustaqiim (the Straight Path).
Minhaa jaaa-‘irun –
{some of them (roads) go not straight, curved paths}.
In this verse, it has been
cautioned to the human being that the people who apprehend correctly, for them,
a straight path have been opened unto cognizance of Allah Almighty with this
graciousness. The person who will choose this path and by reaping advantage
from these favors; he will be thankful to The Real Benefactor, he will reach
directly up to Allah Almighty. But that individual who was careless from The
Real Benefactor due to being engaged in worldly pleasures, he went astray.
It is commanded that the person
who will drive the benefit from the favors of Allah Almighty and believe in Him
and grip up his loins for His gratefulness, he will be on the Straight Path.
But some curved and crooked footpaths and pathways have come out also from this
Straight Path, which eventually lead unto any forest of thorny bushes and
trees. And there, mankind misses the right path.
If Allah Almighty had willed,
He would have led the entire human beings towards the Straight Path. But this
world has been created on such Established Order that there are both kinds of
paths in it – straight and curved. Signs of the both have been explained and it
has been informed to the mankind that he should use own sense to know about the
Straight Path by means of these signs and go straight way.
