Commentary
Yawmun – (the Day), here it aims the Day of
Resurrection. It is necessary for giving up the worldly amusements and
performing good deeds that the Faith in the Day of Resurrection or Rewards and
punishment on one’s deeds should exist in the religion, so that the people
would have to leave their evils and bad acts due to the concept of that Day and
do good works having the hope of rewards. With the passage of time, the Belief
in the Day of Resurrection had been exterminated from the hearts of the Jews,
so they are being warned of the Day of Judgment.
‘Ad-lun – (justice, revenge, reward,
exchange, equality, accuracy, rivalry etc.), if remuneration or compensation is
given for anything, that is considered equal to the capital. So the word ‘ad-lun is
used as the exchange. It also means justice or equity because by doing justice
among two parties, it becomes equity.
It was the concept of the Jews, “As how
much we commit evils and sins, we shall not be punished because our forefathers
were Prophets (peace be upon them). They will cause to forgive us”. God
Almighty commands that such faith of theirs was totally false. The guilty would
have to be punished for his sins properly.
Usually, there are four forms to set
the criminal free:
- Any other individual should admit that the
crime was committed by him (instead of the actual guilty).
- Set the guilty free on anyone’s
recommendations.
- Let him off by paying some compensation (cash).
- Get him free violently.
There is no any such form out of the
above, which may be of use for the evildoer on the Day of Judgment.
On the Day of Resurrection, every
individual will think about him/herself only. Nobody will be able to recommend
any other without the permission of God Almighty. He does not need any wealth
and property that the ransom may be accepted by Him. There is no such power in
the heavens and in the earth, which may compel God Almighty and set the sinners
free from Him, Who is the Most High.
Allah Almighty rendered the faith of
the Jews null and void by revealing the verse under discussion and caused to
know them that they should come back towards the straight path having fear of
the Day of Resurrection.
