A humiliating punishment (1)

Chapter “LUQNAAN”- (LUQMAN) – 31

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِى لَهْوَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ 6  وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا وَلَّىٰ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِىٓ أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ 7

6.  And of mankind is he who payeth for mere pastime of discourse, that he may mislead from Allah’s Way without knowledge, and maketh it the butt of mockery. For such there is a shameful doom.   7.  And when Our Revelations are recited unto him he turneth away in pride as if he heard them not, as if there were a deafness in his ears. So give him tidings of a painful doom.

6.  Wa  minannaasi  many-yashtarii  lahwal-hadiisi  liyuzilla  ‘an  SabiiLillaahi  bigayri  ‘ilminw-wa  yatta-khizahaa  huzuwaa.  ‘Ulaaa-‘ika  lahum  ‘Azaabum-muhiin.   7.  Wa  ‘izaa  tutlaa  ‘alayhi  ‘aayaatuNaa  wallaa  mustakbiran  ka-‘allam  yasma’-haa  ka-‘anna  fiii  ‘uzunayhi  waqraa.  Fabash-shirhu  bi-‘Azaabin-  ‘aliim.

Commentary

 

The mankind had to escape from wasting-time, needless matters and the matters of amusement, and listen to such matters in which there would have been advantages for them. Commandments of this kind have been mentioned in Holy Qur’an. But there are some such people who do not have any interest in the verses of Holy Qur’an. They have become accustomed of Novels, useless tales, fables, dancing, singing and noise. They like only timely exhilarating and amusement. In Arab also, there were some such kind of people. They used to hear praises of themselves and their folks from their poets and used to be glad. In their poetry, there was nothing but showing just pride, manifesting absurd desires and boasting.

 

When Holy Qur’an made them to hear useful matters and taught them to take warning from the circumstances of ancient people, then some of them did not like it and began to say: He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has made our taste brittle. They said to the people: Discourses of Qur’an are tasteless. Neither there is any flavor in its hearing and nor interest. If there is any need of hearing tales, we cause you to hear more than it wonderful legends. After saying this, they purchased and brought stories of wars and battles of Persians and their Kings, and tales of mutual competitions between athletes.

Commentary

The human beings like to live together mutually. They feel fear when they are alone. They desire to speak and hear from others. In conversation they feel pleasure. Stories and tales remained their hobbies always. Holy Qur’an desires that they should not waste their time in useless tales and fables, and there should be something useful for the speaker and the hearer whatever comes out from the mouth of the mankind. Such matters exist in the verses of Holy Qur’an.

 

In this Chapter, it has been described that if the mankind will recite and cause these verses to hear others, he can acquire benefits of the both worlds. But alas! Most of the people do not hear these verses, or if they hear; they do not reap advantage. Listen! These verses are of such Scripture, entire commandments of which are correct in all respects. No useless and redundant matter has been mentioned in it. If the mankind will reflect into its Commandments carefully, he will find full guidance and mercy. However only those people will reap advantage from Holy Qur’an who do good works, keep their duty to Allaah Almighty, establish worship, pay the poor-due and charity for the help of needy people and believe in the Day of Resurrection. Allaah Almighty will give them suitable remuneration of their such works. These are the people who are on the Straight Path which Allaah Almighty has determined for them. And these will be successful in the both worlds.
