Commentary
Fa-‘azalla-huma – (Then they were enticed). This
word has been derived from zallah, which means “to entice, to cause to deflect,
to cause to remove from a particular place”. Intentional disobedience or
rebellion does not come in the meaning of this word. But it is such an error, a
slip; which is due to omission or unknowingly mistake.
‘Ash-shay-taanu –(Satan), it means such creature
who went away from the Mercy of Allah Almighty. It is the second name of Iblis.
He disobeyed the command of God Almighty, so He was ordered to get out of
the Paradise . Then He became mortal enemy of the generation of Adam (Peace be upon
Him). He cannot compel the human being to disobey God or to commit evil, but He
induces the mankind with different methods to go on the path of evil. He is
able to influence (whether he is nigh or far) without measurement of the distances. Natural
resistances are valueless for him.
‘Anhaa – (by means of it) It may be an
indication towards the tree. That is to say; by means of the tree, Satan caused
to deflect them {Adam and Eve (Peace be upon them)} and it may also be an
indication towards the Paradise , in this form, it will be meant they (Peace
be upon them) were caused to expel from the Gardens.
God Almighty settled Adam and His wife
(Peace be upon them) in Paradise and prevented from eating the fruit of that
particular tree, but not to go nigh it. Satan did not fall prostrate toward
Adam (peace be upon Him), so He became a renegade and mortal foe of Adam (peace
be upon Him) due to jealousy. He intended strongly in his heart that anyhow
Adam should be caused to deflect from the Paradise .
In the Holy Qur’aan, it
is mentioned at another place that Iblis approached Adam and
His wife (peace be upon Them) and assured Them by swearing that He was Their
friend and well-wisher, and caused to instigate Them: If you will eat the fruit
of this tree, you will become Angels or will live in the Paradise forever. And you will never be
discharged from here.
Adam and His wife (peace be upon them)
were entrapped. They did not know that anyone can swear falsely of God
Almighty. They ate the fruit of that tree. As soon as they ate the fruit, their
raiment of Paradise was dropped down from their bodies and they began to cover their
shame being bashful with the leaves of the trees. Allah Almighty ordered them
to get out from there. Satan became cause of their deflection from the Paradise . It is necessary for us to try our
best to save ourselves from His deception.
