Lesson
Da-waaabbi –
{moving along (beasts)}, daaa-bbatun
– this word has passed in Surah ‘An-‘aam,
every such living being which may move from one place to the other, is called daaa-bbatun.
‘As-summul-buk-mu –
(those who are deaf and dumb), ‘As-sum is plural of ‘asam and ’al-buk-mu is plural of ‘abkum. These both words were discussed in Surah Baqarah.
Mu’-rizuun –
(the averse people), this word is plural of the subject mu’-riz, origin of which is ‘a’-raaz,
derived from the word ‘arz. ‘Arz
means “edge, aside”. ‘A’-raaz means
“to go or fall back, to be driven aside”.
It was described earlier that you
should obey God Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him); and should not be like those people who hear but do not accept. In
this verse, the same matter has been emphasized and described more clearly.
It is commanded that in the sight of
God Almighty; the worst of beasts are those who do not use the powers properly,
which have been given by Allah Almighty, as it is necessary to use them. For
example; He gave - ears for hearing so that the good instructions should be
listened, tongue for speaking the Truth, asserting that which is right and
asking about that which they could not understand. The heart and the brain were
given for the purpose that they should draw as a useful conclusion from that
which they heard and asked.
Those people who did not take the
works from the ear, the tongue and the sense; which Allah Almighty has
prescribed for them, those are entirely dead and gone. It aims that Allah
Almighty gave everyone healthy and wholesome ears but some of them became deaf
intentionally. He gave tongue but they became dumb. Due to this obstinacy; they
have lost their capability of hearing and understanding the well sayings.
Therefore, it is useless to cause to hear them, and even then if in such
condition, you make them hear, what will you expect from them except it that
they will turn away, averse?
This principle has been known from above
conversation that whenever any human being makes one’s good powers useless and
does not take work from them correctly, Allah Almighty leaves him and does not
show him Straight Path, and he is not guided. Those people who believe in the
Oneness of God Almighty, the Day of Resurrection and obey the commands of His
last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), they hear His
Sayings and Commands with full attention.
