Lesson
Mukaaa-‘an –
(whistling), this word is a source, which means “to whistle by mouth”.
Tas-diyatan –
(hand-clapping), it has been derived from the word sadaa, original meaning of which is “echo, resounding, hollow sound,
roar and a clasp”. Here it aims “to create sound or making noise by striking
both palms of the hands with each other.
It was described in the previous
verses that torment has been hovering on their heads due to their evil deeds. But
they have been saved still due to the only reason that the Messenger of God
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been living
between them and the sound of asking forgiveness and begging pardon of Allah
Almighty by Muslims have been clasping.
Those people do neither know “how to
worship”, nor are they aware of their Worshiped. They have named the acts of whistling
and hand-clapping by gathering at any particular place “Divine worship”. They do
not understand this matter that “the worship” is to please “The Worshiped” not
to please themselves. Due to the reason of this infidelity and irreligion; they
would have to taste the severe anguish of God Almighty.
In the next verse; one more error of
the disbelievers has been manifested. It is commanded that wealth, property and
war equipment are such things which help in the battle for victory. But those
people spend their wealth to prevent others from the Way of God Almighty. At last;
they will gain nothing but remain woe-be-gone.
Your wealth will do nothing for you.
You will be defeated certainly. And if; even then; you would neither understand
and nor embrace Islam; then you all will be thrown in to the Fire of the Hell.
