Commentary
An-Naaru – (The Fire)
this word indicates toward the Fire of the Hell. It has been mentioned in the
Holy Qur’an at many places and the human beings have been
cautioned in the entire Heavenly Scriptures of the world. Nobody will be able
to recommend any other to be saved from the agony of the Hell. Neither the
remuneration will be useful and nor there will be any individual so much
powerful that he may save anyone.
‘Ayyaamam-ma’-duudah – (a certain
number of days) the Jews had faith that they will be sent into the Fire only
for a few days. After that, they will be brought out from it. Different numbers
of days have been mentioned in their sayings. Some of them say it seven days,
some other say for forty days. It signifies towards the days; they fell in the
worship of the calf and some people say that every evil doer will be kept into
the Fire equal to his age.
The Children of Israel used to
suppose themselves that they were beloved and fondling of God Almighty. They
used to discuss that His favors and kindness are as a warrant which He bestowed
on them from time to time. For this purpose, they had invented many false
sayings about it. Its proof was not available in their Holy Books. One from
their invented false sayings and false traditions was, “they had faith in it
that if God Almighty gave them any punishment due to their sins; that will be
only for a few days. They would not remain into the Hell for ever”.
God Almighty asks from the Children
of Israel by means of His last Messenger (peace and blessings be upon
Him), “Have you received a covenant from Allah” due to which He is compelled to
fulfill it? Indeed, either you have invented these false things yourselves or
you tell concerning Him that which you do not know. There is no reply of it
instead of it that their all claims like this, are only self fabricated. They
have no such warrant of religion regarding these false sayings.
