Commentary
Taabuu – (repent, the
persons who did penitence). Taw-bah means repentance from
sins, sorrow for wrongdoings, and return to the straight path, to shun or refrain
from any evil and to device or intend to give it up for future.
Allah Almighty has
declared three terms and conditions for forgiveness of sins in this verse:
1.
Penitence, it means decision to leave the sin with its
perception and admission.
2.
Correction – to rectify the created badness due to sins and
mischief.
3.
Compensate the oppressed; to disclose the matters which were
hidden to commit the evil and their compensation.
It has been expressed
in the previous verses that the children of Israel and the Christians used to
change the Commandments and Instructions, revealed by God Almighty, due to
worldly greed and avarice or afraid of enmity due to speaking the Truth, and
used to hide the real Commandments. So, due to their hiding the Just, many
people used to go astray, the Believers used to lie down in doubts and the
followers of the truth used to suffer the troubles of various sorts. Therefore,
God Almighty appointed them as “the Accursed”.
The news regarding
Messenger-hood of the last Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (glory,
grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) was revealed in the previous
Heavenly Books (Scriptures) of the Children of Israel and the Christians, but
when they observed that they would get worldly loss due to believing in the
Prophet-hood of the last Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him), their monopoly would finish, they began to
hide this Glad-tidings.
God Almighty
proclaimed about such evildoers that they will be thrown away from the Mercy of
God Almighty as punishment and they will become target of cursing and taunting
of God’s other creature.
In
this verse, Allah Almighty has commanded that these accursed people should not
become hopeless entirely. Moreover, if they refrain from bad habits and hiding
the Truth, and “repent and amend make manifest (the truth). These are; it is
toward whom; I relent. And I am the Relenting, the Merciful”. Moreover they
will come under the shadow of His Mercy. They will be entitled for His
blessings and favors.
