Lesson
‘Afwun
– (forgiveness), we have discussed about this word in Surah Baqarah. It has many meanings, one of which is “endurance,
patience”. Here it aims the same.
Yanzagannaka – {if someone (afflict you)}, the origin of this word is nazgun, which exists in the same verse
after it. Nazgun means “to tamper
with any tipped object, to stab any pointed thing”. Here it aims “devilish whim”.
It was described in the previous verses that some people are
believers of Allah Almighty; even then they ascribe plurality to God Almighty
in the birth of a child after its birth. Even that they name him like idolaters
as Abdul Harith etc. Therefore, the
human being has been informed about the evils of polytheism. It is true but
speaking the truth before any mankind is just like involving oneself in quarrel
with him. So, flaming by the idolaters was not a grand thing. Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) described them
openly in a previous verse: Call upon your so-called partners (of God Almighty),
then contrive against Me, spare Me not. They can never hurt Me because My
Protecting Friend is Allah Almighty.
Being Protecting Friend, Allah Almighty guides His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) in this verse about the behavior which
must be adopted in future.
It is commanded: O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him)! Keep to forgiveness, enjoin kindness and turn away from the
ignorant. Speak the truth and carry on laying stress on the people to perform
the works; good for the humanity. You should not respond to the opponents if
they begin to treat You with rudeness and ignorance. You must tolerate the
grief/pain which they tease.
If any time, Satan excites You that the people have been
disgracing You. So, You should respond with abuse to their abuse and kick them
if they give you a blow.
You should seek refuge in Allah Almighty immediately if; due to
natural tendencies of humankind, you have any fear of affect of this whim,
because He is Hearer and Knower. Do not respond their abusive conduct. Mind Your
own business.
It is as much big useful advice that grandest social and
political problems of the life can be solved with it. Whenever anyone gets
chance; should enjoin for good works and speak the truth. Respond with patience
and tolerance to the enemies when they provoke, and do not provide opportunity
of dispute from own side. A Day of final Judgment will come and the Support of
God Almighty will be with the Patient, if disbelievers do not accept it.
