Lesson
‘Ishtaraw – (They purchased), to get a thing exchanged with the
other. This word is used for the both ‘buying’ and ‘selling’. Hypocrites
had option of choice to accept either Belief or otherwise. But they chose the
way of infidelity and hypocrisy.
Maa rabihat – (Did not prosper), this word has been derived from
rabah, which means “profit”.
The consequence of hypocrisy has
been stated in this lesson that these people went astray leaving the path of
Guidance. That is to say; that excellence of the humanity, which is a source of
Guidance from Allah Almighty, due to which, every human being can acquire
goodness and comfort of perpetual Life, these hypocrites extinguished that
Light of the humanity. And which Guidance they had to attain, they rejected it
and produced bad habits into themselves and evil manners. And they thought
themselves that they had tried to strike a good bargain, by saying verbally
that God is One and keeping infidelity in their hearts. And they were glad on
it that how is this good wonderful bargaining?
God Almighty commands that they are
losers in this bargaining. They reaped casual and
sensual, destroy-able advantages, by passing their entire life
for this purpose. It were good business if they had achieved the comfort of
their perpetual Lives, by spending their wealth and sacrificing casual lives in
the Way of God Almighty. But they have destroyed also their real capital.
This straying and lose of hypocrites
is the result of their deeds, which has been discussed in the previous verses
(lessons), that verbally they say: We believe in Allah and in the Day of
Resurrection, whereas they do not believe, but wish to deceive God Almighty and
the Believers. The disease of infidelity and hypocrisy is in their hearts. They
create disturbance in the name of correctness, and consider that the sincere
people and the believers are stupid. They assure them that they are believers
and cooperative, but when they join their bad character companions and leaders,
then they are theirs’.
