has forbidden only indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are
hidden, and sin and wrongful oppression, and that ye associate with Allah
that for which no warrant hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning
Allah that which ye know not.

Commentary
It
was revealed in the previous verse that Allah Almighty has not prevented you
from wearing raiment/adornment and eating pure and good things, but He has
created all these things for the purpose that His bondmen in the world should
reap advantage. In this verse, those matters have been described, which are
forbidden by Him.
1.
He has forbidden
indecencies (lewdness and shamelessness), whether those are apparent or hidden.
2.
The sin is forbidden.
The word ‘ism has come in the verse, that is to say; Allah
Almighty has forbidden “’ism”. ‘Ism means “such act,
which is against the Islamic Law and the effect of which is bad on others or
which is harmful for oneself as - committing suicide, making the lawful things
forbidden upon oneself without any reason, slackness in worshiping physically
like prayer and fasting etc. and such other matters, for example; using
alcohol, habit of intoxicating agents, gambling, use of poisons, drying own
hands and feet as usually jogi people etc. do.
3.
Using force against
others without any reason, teasing and hurting someone – like robbery, theft
etc. all these kinds of matters are included in it, in which, loss or damage of
anyone comes, whether that is only a little. These entire matters are included
in forbidden.
4.
Worshiping someone else
or perceiving interference of any other like remover of difficulties or
supplier of any want except Allah Almighty, as idolaters of the Arab used to
say: We honor the idols because they are our recommendatory before Allah. And
they used to tell that Allah has appointed them as a source among Himself and
us. Our desires are fulfilled by means of them. But they have no proof of these
affairs. Allah Almighty has not revealed any such verse, from which it might be
proved that He (God) has given this responsibility to any other for supplying
the wants of His servants.
5. Calumniating at random things in the name of Allah Almighty.
Obviously, we know about Allah Almighty only that, which Holy Qur’an has
described and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
made us to understand. Except that, which They have told and explained, saying
by oneself about Allah Almighty will be meant that we are telling such a lie,
about which we have not been informed, as the people of Makkah used
to say: Allah has ordained to us to go round Ka’-bah nude. We
should understand from this statement that Allah Almighty has commanded: Being
naked is indecency and the indecency is forbidden. If it is admitted in the
Fine Arts, even then, it will remain indecent and forbidden.
