Lesson
Laa taf-tinnii – (tempt me not), it is a negative sentence, which
has been made from f-t-n. From this origin is a word fitnah, which has
many meanings; as “trial, infidelity, evil, straying, disgrace and mutual
dispute etc.” all these meanings suit here. This word has passed in Surah
‘Al-Baqarah.
With
effect from the previous verses, it is being narrated that those people who
have been entered in Islam for worldly purpose, but their hearts like old
things as the matters against the humanity and ignorance, in which they had
been entangled before Islam, such people evade at the time of labor and hard
work.
In the
beginning, they were present in Madinah and they used to prevent the
Muslims from those works; for which; courage was required. Those who had strong
Belief, they had understood their all mischief and wickedness; but some of the
common people were under the influence of their wicked tricks.
At this
occasion, this indication is towards a particular person, whose name was Jud
bin Qays. Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) invited him to go forth with them unto Syria for participation in the
Battle (Ghazwah). That wicked person formed this evasion: O Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)! My heart does not remain in
control when I see beautiful women. Roman women are very beautiful. I fear that
I shall be entangled in sin after reaching there. Therefore kindly grant me
leave to live here. However, I am present to spend my wealth.
God’s
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) said: “Ok. You may
go, we don’t need”. Have you observed that he wishes to be saved from
difficulties of journey by showing his false abstinence to the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), because Islam has not
influenced his heart even a little bit.
In this
verse, the condition of Hypocrites has been criticized by indicating towards the
above mentioned incident. It is commanded that some people say to the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Excuse me from going forth
with you, lest going there; I am entangled in the mishap of a sin with the
women, because my heart becomes out of control by looking them.
Then it
is commanded: He stopped for the reason, in which he and his companions have
already been entangled in many evils. They are accustomed of false pleas,
excuses, alluring and impostures with effect from their childhood. The Fire of
the Hell will surround them from all around on the Day of Resurrection.
