Commentary
Laya-‘uusun – (despairing), this word is an
adjective from yaas. Yaas means “to
lose hope, to be hopeless. The person who loses his hope; is called ya-‘uus.
We can
guess about the Divine Power of Allah Almighty from it that He created this
entire world and completed it step by step. Then He explained about the purpose
of the world’s creation, that this entire work of God Almighty has been
established to try the human beings. Here; he will continue working during his
all worldly life and then die. After death, he will be brought to life again
and will be punished or given reward; fruit of his wicked or good deeds.
In this
verse and the verse after it, a map of his natural weakness has been drawn. If
he did not take precautions against his weakness; then there is a fear of his
failure in the examination.
Summary of
it is that he remains overjoyed during good condition, but whenever he feels
any confusion (whether that confusion or perplexity is very ordinary), he is
embarrassed immediately. Despair spreads over him and he begins to think about
Allah Almighty with false notions, even he reaches to such degree that
disbelieves in Him. These are signs of failure in the examination.
It has
often been observed that the man believes in Allah Almighty during prosperity
and thanks Him that He gave him wealth and property; and remains happy, but as
soon as he reaps a little disadvantage, begins to cry immediately and say: that
has happened which was to be. Then neither he establishes prayer, nor thanks
God Almighty and nor any passion in worship. Moreover, the words of thankless
begin to come out from his mouth.
This all is
result of it that he does not have correct concept of the things which were
described before it. He does not know true purpose of the world’s creation.
Condition of this world is changed from time to time, so he should understand
it thoroughly that the aim from these revolutionary changes is “testing his
belief, patience and stability”. Prosperity and wealth is only for the cause
that Allah Almighty tries His caliph on the earth (mankind) that “how he uses
them”. He observes also during poverty and hardship that “whether does he stand
firm even in this situation or otherwise”? All conditions of the world are
accidental.
