Lesson
‘Afiizuu – (Pour), it
is tense of command, which means, “You should pour”. The origin of this word is
‘afaazah, which has been derived from
fayz. Fayz means “to flow, flood,
flowing”. So ‘afaazah will be meant
as: Pour. Here it aims: We are being burnt in the Fire, please pour some water
of the Garden on us.
It was
explained in these verses earlier that when the dwellers of the Garden would
have entered into the Garden and the dwellers of the Fire into the Hell, then
the dwellers of the Garden will be pleased, looking before them those entire pleasing
things, for which they were promised.
They will
think quickly that the disobedient were promised for the Fire. Indeed that promise
would have been fulfilled certainly too. Therefore, they will address the
disbelievers and ask them: We have found that which our Lord promised us (to
be) the Truth. Have ye (too) found that which your Lord promised the Truth? Hereupon
the dwellers of the Fire will cry: Yea, verily, that all was the Truth.
After that,
the conversation of the dwellers of the Heights (‘Al-‘A’-Raaf) with the dwellers of the Garden and the dwellers of
the Fire was mentioned, which will be on the Day of Resurrection. At last, now
it is being discussed that: What will say the dwellers of the Fire to the
dwellers of the Garden?
It is
commanded that the dwellers of the Fire will call out aloud from the Hell to
the dwellers of the Garden: Our bodies have been burning in the Fire. Severity of
heat is unbearable. Pour some water of the Garden on us and give a few from
those things also, which Allah Almighty has bestowed to you for rest and
pleasure.
The dwellers
of the Garden will say as a reply to the question of the dwellers of the Fire: Allah
Almighty has decided that the things of the Garden are forbidden for those people,
who did not give ear and any importance to His Revelations, which He had established
for living in the world, took their religion for a sport and pastime, determined
the enjoyment of life for singing, dancing, outing and picnics. They were
involved so much in worldly works that they thought never about the Hereafter. It
is the reason that today they have been deprived of the Garden’s things.
