Lesson
‘Ih-bituu – {Fall down (you all)}. Origin of this
word is habuut, which is used for
come down from height, and for going from one place to another. It manifests
from this verse that the Paradise, where Adam and His wife (peace be upon Them)
were commanded to live, now they are being commanded to leave that place. Secondly,
from the word ‘ih-bituu {fall down (you
all)}, which has come in plural form, it is revealed that the command of lodging
at the earth is not only for Adam and His wife (peace be upon Them) but for
their entire pedigree.
‘Aduwwun – (Enemies, foe, rival), the pattern of
living on the earth has been caused to understand by this word. In the world,
there will be possibility of struggle, jealousy, selfishness, sensuality and
envy etc., and being saved from these evils will be the sign of nobleness for
the human beings.
‘Ilaa-
hiin – (For a time,
till the specific time), it is obvious from this verse that stay on this earth
of human being is accidental and not forever. They will have to be produced in
the Court of God Almighty again.
When Adam and His wife
(peace be upon Them) ate the fruit of that particular tree due to seducing by
Satan, which was forbidden by Allah Almighty, then He ordered: This place is
not suitable for you now. Fall down on the earth. In the world, some people of
the mankind will not live in peace and truce, but they will quarrel with one
another. They will have to reside there till their death. During their life
time, they will have to reap advantage from the earthen commodities with
working hard and collecting the things for drinking and eating.
Useful matters which
have been described in this verse are:
·
Satan is enemy of the
human being. He tries his best to cheat and deceive the mankind.
·
Existence of the
humankind in the world is casual/accidental. Its reality is like an Inn. Therefore,
we should consider the world as abode for some time; and we should not forget
our Lord, God Almighty; supposing that the world is a living place forever.
Bear in mind that it is not an eternal abode.
