Verses
– 78, 79, 80 & 81 of 120, Section – 11 of 16 (Part - 6)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allaah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful
|
78.
Those of the Children of Israel who went astray were cursed by the
tongue of David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they rebelled and
used to transgress.
79.
They restrained not one another from the wickedness they did. Verily
evil was that they used to do!
80.
Thou seest many of them making friends with those who disbelieve.
Surely ill for them is that which they themselves send on before them; that Allaah will be wroth with them and in
the doom they will abide for ever.
81.
If they had believed in Allaah
and the Prophet and that which is revealed unto Him, they would have not
taken them for their friends. But many of them are of evil conduct.

Lesson
‘Asw – (they rebelled), it is from ‘isyaan, which means ‘to disobey, to
revolt, to shake off subjection). The word ‘Aasii
has also been derived from it. Ya’-taduun –
(they used to transgress), this word is from ‘udwaan, which means ‘to violate, to
rebel, to tyrannize’. Laa yatanaa-hawna –
(they did not restrain), it is from tanaa-hii
and its origin is nahiii. Nahiii means ‘to hold back, to hinder, and
to limit’. Tanaa-hii means ‘to be
hindered by one own and restrain one another mutually. Here it’s both meanings
are correct. However, last meaning has been adopted in the translation.
The Children of Israel were
advised commonly in the previous lesson that they should not include such
matters in the religion, which do not exist in it, and which have been taken
from the old faithless people and idolaters.
In this verse they have been frightened,
“Due to your bad habits, two Messengers of higher positions i.e. David and
Jesus (peace be upon them) have fixed you duly cursed. If you wish to come out
from this curse, then you should embrace Islam, otherwise its result will be
very bad”.
Allaah
Almighty commands that David and Jesus (peace be upon them) cursed the
disbelievers of the Children of Israel. They kept the hostility up also with
the last Messenger of Allaah Almighty,
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) during His time. Three
reasons have been described about it: 1. They rebelled (they had been entangled
in the evil deeds). 2. They had violated
the limits, set up by the religion and their habit of evil acts had become
ordinary. 3. Neither they hindered
themselves from the sins, nor restrained one another from the wickedness.
When the habits of any nation
become too much corrupted that the evil is taken as a sport and nobody exists
there to stop oneself and to restrain others from wicked deeds, but on the
contrary, a coward is considered a good person, then that nation deserves to be
cursed. If that nation does not refrain from its bad conduct, then it is sure
that they will be disgraceful and ruined, because if there is none for asking,
then the evil doer never tries himself to abstain from the sins. Then other
people get courage too to do sins. Thus the entire nation is damaged and
ruined.
It has been commanded that these
people have been opposing them still, who are going straight path and they are making
friends with those who disbelieve. They do not understand that it is a very bad
act that they provided ground to spread the wickedness and to efface the good
deeds. Wrath of Allaah Almighty will
be descended upon them in the world and on the Doomsday in its punishment.
Then Allaah Almighty says, “If they had belief in Allaah, His Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them) and Their
Scriptures, then they would have never taken for their friends to the wicked
people, infidels and them, who are of evil conduct. But these people are very
strict disobedient. So we knew from it that actually they do not believe in Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
We should think now, “Whether
these badness have not entered also into us, which were in the Jews? Is our
Belief correct”? Sign of its correction is that “friendship with the good
people and cut off relationship from the evil doers”. Whether we have this
beauty? If not, then its remedy is compulsory.
