Quran Chapter 34: 51 & 52 (Pt-22, Stg-5) (L-2662) درس قرآن

Occasion of Belief

Chapter “SABAA’” - (Saba) - 34

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ فَزِعُوا۟ فَلَا فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُوا۟ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ 51  وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلتَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍ 52  
                                       
51.  Couldst thou but see when they are terrified with no escape, and are seized from near at hand-

52.  And say: We (now) believe therein. But how can they reach (faith) from afar off.
51.  Wa  law  taraaa  ‘iz  fazi-‘uu  falaa  fawta  wa  ‘ukhizuu  mim-makaanin-  qariib.

52.  Wa  qaaluuu  ‘aamannaa  bih.  Wa  ‘annaa  lahumut-tanaa-wushu  mim-makaanim-  ba-‘iid.

Commentary

Tanaa-wushu – (to catch by reaching, to claw), origin of this word is nawash, which means “to run or fly at, to spring”.

It was commanded: These people do neither choose the Straight Path in the world, nor believe in Allaah almighty and nor have trust in His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him). After hearing his words they say: this person has left the path of ancestors and (God forbid) has been erring.  Allaah Almighty instructed to him (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) that he should answer to the people: If I err, I err only to my own loss. But if I am rightly guided, then at last; I shall get victory and my opponents will be defeated.

It is commanded: They can use their Will in this world, but on the Day of Resurrection they will not be able to do as they desire. They will lose their senses when they will see the terrible scene of that Day. They will run hither and thither in search of shelter and to save themselves, but they will find no place of salvation. Safety by running away will not be possible. We would not have to run behind them, but nearby Angels (peace be upon them) will seize them. At that time their eyes will be opened and they will say: The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) spoke the truth, and now we believe in it.

But Belief of that occasion would not be acceptable because having belief in the Unseen (in the life of this world only) is acceptable. Time of believing at that occasion would have been over.
