101. And among those around you of the wandering
Arabs there are hypocrites, and among the townspeople of Al-Madinah (there are some who) persist in hypocrisy whom thou (O

they will be relegated to a painful doom.

Lesson
Maraduu
– (they
persist), this word has been made from marada. From the same origin, one
more word tamarrad has been derived, which is a famous word. Marada
means “rebellion, refractoriness”, result of which is “to persist in any matter
unreasonably”. In the word tamarrad; these meanings are very clear i.e.
disobeying the command haughtily.
Habits and
nature of the wandering Arabs (villagers) were disclosed in the previous verses,
that they fear from those restrictions; which are incurred by Islam;
particularly they shirk from expending their money. Then, it was described that
some wandering Arabs are those who are civilized and they believe in Allah
Almighty and expend for the Cause of God Almighty with generosity and consider
it a means of God’s pleasure and acquiring blessings of His Messenger (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Certainly, sacrifices, alms and charities
of those Believers will bring them close to Allah Almighty.
In this verse, circumstances of the
population of Madinah and its
surroundings have been described. It is commanded that some people among the
wandering Arabs who are around you, are hypocrites, but apparently they show
themselves as Muslims. And there are many people in Madinah also; who persist in hypocrisy.
Observing their apparent style and
behavior, it is difficult to say that they are only ostensive Muslims, but
Allah Almighty knows their all conditions. They will be punished twice:
· They will be disgraced and entangled in worldly calamities. Then
they will suffer from torture in their graves.
· After all, they will be thrown in the biggest Torture Cell –
the Fire of the Hell; on the Day of Resurrection.
It signifies that becoming apparent
Muslim for the purpose of any worldly desire; cannot be saved lastly from the
punishment. For obtaining deliverance, Belief in the heart is very necessary.
