Commentary
’As-suuu-‘u – evil/bad thing
(intellectually and legally)
‘Al-fah-shaaa-‘u – (foul,
shamelessness and disliked due to morality and respect, the words fahash (indecent,
frivolous) and faahishah (shameless, unchaste) have also been
derived from it.
Two characteristics of
Satan (the Devil) have been described in this verse:
1.
He teaches evil and fouls always to the human being. The mankind
should never hope for advantage/benefit from the Devil because it is his nature
that he is stained entirely in the evil, filth, foul, depravity and
impurity/pollution, and he wishes to keep stained the human beings too. He
excites every time for any kind of wickedness, quarrel, sedition, mischief and
bustle, and stands in the way of righteousness. The entire such wishes and
works, which are fatal for human brotherhood and humanity itself, are entered
in the evil and foul. To create a mischief in the safety and peace of the
society, to sow dissension among mutual brotherhood and fraternity,
to extirpate the union and cooperation, not to fulfill the rights of the
servants, it means that the entire works, due to which, tumult spreads, belong
to mischievous and devilish.
2.
The Devil induces the human beings to tell the people false,
self-invented by themselves talks and show that these are from the commandments
of God Almighty, while Allah Almighty has never commanded for such things, but
the followers of the Devil do all that, for reaping casual advantages of frail
things, worldly temptation and greed of wealth.
This disease had
become common in the scholars of the Children of Israel. For deceiving the
public, they used to tell the useful for them; self-invented talks and used to
say that it was from God Almighty. Resultant the foundation of their
religion became hollow and they failed for future.
We
should learn from this verse that we should neither take part in the evil deeds
and foul, and nor tell the public false and self-invented matters because these
both works belong to Satan.
