Commentary
A very important matter has
been discussed in this verse, summary of which is that painful misfortune
against evil deeds does not remain limited only for the evil livers, but it
besieges other people also. Therefore, everyone should try to abstain from them
in each condition. Two lessons exist in it for us:
·
If someone has committed
any sin due to ignorance in remoteness from society, he/she should repent
mutely, acknowledge of sin and apologize before God Almighty, and intend
strongly that he/she will commit it never in future. If he/she is true in
repentance and intent of not committing the sin again, then Allah Almighty will
forgive him/her. He/she should not speak about suck works in front of any
other, lest either that individual who heard; begin to think about the same sin
to commit or that individual, who committed it, is punished due to acceptance.
He/she should keep own matter with Allah Almighty only because in fact He was
looking at the spot.
·
One should be saved
oneself from committing any open sin; as well as save others also, because if
any evil spread due to any person, entire community will be punished. And if
the wrath of God Almighty came, would come over all the people of that place,
on the evil doer because he committed; and on other people because “why did
they not prevent him?” Therefore it is a duty of every person that they should
keep themselves away from the evil deeds and prevent others too.
Clearly known from it is that those
people who have influence upon others; for example parents, teachers, spiritual
guides, leaders, scholars and preachers etc. they should refrain particularly
from sins and evil deeds because certainly the people will do the same
whatsoever they will observe doing them. When they will cause to understand the
people; they will say “while you do it also then why do you prevent us?”
Therefore, parents, teachers, spiritual guides, leaders, scholars and preachers
etc. have to pass their life very carefully, so that the people should not be
entangled in wrong doing by making their excuse.
There is a very strict warning
in this verse. It is commanded: Behold! Pass your life carefully, otherwise; if
the wrath came due to evil deeds, that will fall on both kinds of people i.e.
evil doers and those who did not commit any evil. At the end it is commanded
that seizure of Allah Almighty is very severe. Therefore you should manage such
arrangement that the people should fear from committing any sin or wicked deed,
otherwise; all of you will suffer retribution even if a few people committed.
Those people, due to whom; bad
traditions are instituted or there is a fear of their spreading, they should
recite this verse again and again.
