33. But Allah would not
punish them while thou wast with them, nor will He punish them while they
seek forgiveness.
34. What (plea) have
they that Allah should not punish them, when they debar (His servants) from
the Inviolable Place of Worship, though they are not its fitting guardians.
Its fitting guardians are those only who keep their duty to Allah. But most
of them know not.

Lesson
It is commanded that the punishment
has been stopped due to two reasons; otherwise they have been entitled of God’s
torment since very earlier. First reason is that the Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was dwelling among
them; and God Almighty did not send down torment on them due to His presence.
God Almighty caused to come out His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) at first from them,
then sent down punishment on them. Second reason is that the voice of penitence
and asking forgiveness is high among them, some people exist between them who repent
of their sins and beg pardon of God Almighty; because Muslims are living with
them, and they continue begging for kindness and forgiveness from Allah
Almighty, and He does not send punishment on those who ask for forgiveness.
Then, it is commanded that they have
been committing such wicked deeds that coming of the torment is incumbent. Behold!
They have possessed the Inviolable Place of Worship (Masjidil-Haraam) unlawfully. Bigger than it; there is no other
badness for the society that a man snatched the right of another, and he did
not care for other’s trouble and pain, continued trying to establish only his own
power of influence and greatness. The Inviolable Place of Worship is not for
the people like him. That is a sacred place of God’s worship. Only those people
should have control over and possession upon It who believe in Allah Almighty
and pass their life in the world carefully and have fear of His punishment in
their hearts. The worship is for pleasing the Worshipped (God) only. Any common
man cannot determine its method. Only the Worshipped can guide that how will He
be pleased, and from which matters; will He be angry. It is clear from this
discussion that the Worshipped must be Wise, Seer and Who may speak.
