16. We created not the

17. If We had wished to
find a pastime, We would have found it in Our Presence – if We ever did.

Commentary
‘In – (if,
nay), this word has the both meanings, and here; it can be taken as any meaning.
The aim will be the same.
Circumstances of the disobedient,
wrongdoers and sinful people were explained in the previous verses. Those people
could not live in the world for a long time. They were involved in various
calamities due to their stubbornness and at last they were ruined. And their
places, where they used to be engaged in pleasantness of life carelessly, had
become as reaped corn and extinct coal.
After that in these verses, the
way of success has been described to the mankind that they should meditate in
the creation of the world and its arrangement. It is commanded: We have not
made it as a play. Very great suitableness is hidden in it. While sense and understanding
has been bestowed to the human beings; then it was necessary that a vast work-place
should also be prepared for the use of their wisdom, appearance of which should
be very fascinating, but internally there should be a chain of magnificent
machines; engaged in its control continuously under proper law and order. There
is a test of mankind’s sense in it that he should not fall in love of its
apparent charm, but he should know That Power Which drives its internal
machines, Lord of Which is Allaah Almighty. This work-place is not a
play.
It is commanded: If We were
necessitous of a play and rejoicing, We would have made any toy from the things
in Our Presence. What was the purpose of creating this entire universe? But in
fact, We are not needy of games, play or rejoicing. Neither We feel any weariness
and nor laziness that We should get some relaxation.
