for disbelievers whose fuel is of men and stones.

Lesson
Wa-quudu-han-naasu
wal-hijaa-ratu – (Its fuel is of
men and stones). It is indicated towards the Fire of the Hell, which will be very
rigorous. It will burn the stones also in addition to the human beings. As
though, the Idols of stones will be its fuel too. The indication from the word ‘Al-Hijaa-ratun
may be towards the cruel humankind.
In the previous lesson,
the opponents were invited for competition against the Holy Qur’aan.
Now, they are being told: if you may not face, and We say that you shall never
be able to fulfill the demand of Qur’aan,
then it is obvious that it is the Word of God. And it has been disclosed that
the Messenger, Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) is the True Prophet. Now if you do not have faith in the Prophet-hood
of ‘Muhammad’ (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and do not act upon the commands of Holy Qur’aan, it
shall be the Base of the Hell’s Agony. So, you must arrange to be saved from it,
because the Fire of Hell is not any normal fire. But that is such Fire; fuel of
which will be men and stones. And this Fire has been prepared for such people;
who contradict the commands of Islam, Prophet-hood of Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), the Truth of the Divine percepts of Islam and purity of Holy Qur’aan.
Some more matters have
also been cleared from this verse:
·
The matter in which the enemies
of Islam; particularly “the Quresh” had big pretension, that is to
say “Purity of the words and to cause to understand the meanings easily”,
making them humble in the same, it was proved that this Word is of Allah
Almighty.
·
False gods; which the people
have adopted instead of One God (Allah Almighty) and ask them for their
desires, those all were refuted.
·
Punishment of infidelity
was fixed i.e. the Hell.
We should have no doubt
in the Divinity of the Holy Qur’aan, the Truth of Islam, sincerity
and honesty of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’ (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam) because if the entire human beings try
collectively to write any one, small chapter like the Chapters of the
Holy Qur’aan, they cannot bring (in which all those excellence must
exist which exist in this Word of God Almighty). Some of the excellences are:
pure words, eloquence and rhetoric, preaching of good manners, explaining the
meanings excellently, material for relief and guidance of all people,
instructions for the mankind in the entire fields of difficulties and problems,
useful equally for all the nations of the world etc.
