Lesson
Yata-waffa –
(to drag out the soul from the body), the origin of this word is tu-waffaa, which means “to die”. God
Almighty has appointed the Angels (peace be upon Them) for dragging the souls
from the bodies, so, it is the reason that in this verse, it is mentioned “And
if thou couldst see how the angels receive those who disbelieve”. From it; more words like fawt and wafaat etc. have
also been derived, which means “the death and dying” etc. It aims that when the
Angels (peace be upon Them) seize the souls of the disbelievers, infidels and
idolaters etc.
In the previous verses, God Almighty
has been making the mention of disbelievers’ behavior since long. These people
are so absorbed in the visual splendor, planning and management of the world
that they do not think ahead of it. But That Omnipotent; Who has created this
entire world and all creatures, He does not like this disobedience, pride and
haughtiness of the human beings. Therefore, sometimes, they are taught a
lesson. They keep doing their managements, whereas at the other hand, they are
removed from the world by means of floods, rain and dust-storms etc.
Armies of God Almighty are
uncountable. He arranged to slay many people in the Battle of Badr through a handful Muslims. It is
commanded that they strutted away during the whole life, but when the time of
death reached and seized them, then they were unable to do something. Such
condition of their helplessness is worth watching; when the Angels (peace be
upon Them) have been dragging their souls from their bodies, smiting their
faces and their backs, and along with it, they have been saying: It is not
sufficient. In the next world, when you would have to burn in the Fire, then
the reality will be opened on you.
Their condition is due to their own evil
deeds, because Allah Almighty commands: There is no tyranny in Our Court.
Molesting the helpless and innocent people is against Our Mercy. However, those
people, who are blameworthy at fault; are punished properly, because they
deserve it due to their wicked deeds.
In addition to the above mentioned
verses, you must see the last verse of the fifth Part of the Chapter (Surah) Nisaaa’ (Women) (4:147), where Allah Almighty commands: What
concern hath God for your punishment if ye are thankful (for His Mercies) and
believe (in Him)? And God is ever Responsive, Aware.
