Commentary

Tastakhif-fuuna – (you find light), origin of this word is ‘istikhfaaf, which has been derived from the word khiffatun. Khiffatun means “light, very lean”. From the same, the word khafiif has come out which means “small, slight, trivial and light etc. ‘istikhfaaf means “to feel or find light”.

‘Aswaafun (wool), it is plural of sawf, which means “wool of the sheep”.

‘Awbaari – this word is plural of wabrun, which means “soft hair of the camel etc.”

It is commanded: You prepare comfortable things for yourselves from the things created by Allah Almighty. You should understand it that these things are given by Us (God Almighty). We showed you the path that you should build good houses for your living by collecting bricks, stones, wood and iron etc.

And then, We guided the people that they should make tent-houses from the hides of cattle, so that those may be used during journey from one place to other. Fixed house cannot be shifted from one place to any other, but you have to travel for any purpose. Some times you require changing the place of your dwelling. So by picking up your tent-houses and camps, you can move anywhere and live comfortably, permanently or temporarily after pitching them.

Moreover, with the wool of the sheep, hair of the camel and the goat etc. many useful things of the house, ropes, blankets and woolen carpets etc. can be made and used until the last breath.
