Lesson
‘As-taksartum –
(you seduced many), it is past tense. Its origin is ‘istaksaar, which
has been made from the word kasratun. Kasratun means excess. ‘Istaksaar
will be meant as “getting maximum portion and more things to order”.
‘As-tamta-‘a – (enjoyed – to profit, to reap
advantage), it is past tense also, which is from the word ‘astamtaaa’
and derived from mataaa’. Mataaa’ means – any useful and beneficial
thing, wealth and property, equipment etc. ‘Astamtaaa’ means “to gather a
lot of wealth and possessions and to reap advantage from it.
‘Ajala – it means “appointed term and the
whole period too”. Here it aims “the death which arrives at its prescribed time”.
‘AjjalTa –
(the time You appointed), made from the word taajiil, Taajiil has
been derived from the word ‘ajal. ‘Ajal means “to appoint the term”.
It was described in the previous
verses that maximum people choose the wrong way, which is chosen always by Satan’s
power of deceiving, who is inbred and old enemy of the human being. Allah
Almighty has loosened him (the Devil), but saying at the spot to him: You will
be unable to seduce the servants of Mine. It was commanded in the previous
verse that Walii (the Protecting Friend) of Good people is Allah
Almighty. Condition of the evildoers has been explained in this verse.
It is commanded that a Day will
come when the entire humankind and the jinn (the devils, the demons) will be
gathered before Allah Almighty. The devils will be addressed in front of the
humankind: You plundered much in the world and made many people yours obedient
and servants. A guilty conscience needs no accuser. The slaves of the devils
will speak at their own: Neither were we their slaves and nor used to worship
them. By chance; sometimes, we used to obey their commands and sometimes they
used to obey us. Likewise we used to help one another. Even the death entrapped
us and the period You appointed for our living in the world, finished. The only
aim to ask from the devils was that the humankind should answer. We shall know
their reply in the next lesson.
