Commentary
Yuharrifuuna – this
word is from tah-riif, which means “to change, to remove”.
The disbelievers, the
hypocrites and those, whose belief is weak, pursue in this attempt, “Change
that command of Allah Almighty according to own object, which seems
against own desire”. But the belief does not permit it. Prophet Moses (peace be
upon Him) brought Torah unto the Jews, but those people changed the words and
meanings of the Scripture to fulfill their own wishes, for example; in Torah,
the punishment of fornication by any married adulterer and adulteress was
stoning. The Jews removed this command totally. Those Jews, who did not see the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him), said them, who used to meet the Messenger, “You should ask the
punishment of fornication from this Messenger. If He says that stoning is not
punishment of fornication, then we shall be able to misguide the people that He
is also with us in the denial of stoning. But if He keeps up the punishment of
stoning, then you should not listen to Him” (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him). As if, it is making the religion like one’s own wish. But
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) said, “The punishment of stoning is held in Torah” and a Jew scholar
was made witness upon it,
On the other
side Allah Almighty sent Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him), who
conveyed His message, “Keep up the punishment of stoning, because the object is
to stop the fornication strongly. Big badness becomes public due to it.
These were those tricks, with
which the Jews and other people had wished to break the restrictions of the
religion, to get freedom of committing the crimes, tyranny and oppression. The
Messenger of Allah Almighty has been commanded in this verse that He (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) should do His duty and not grieve due
to the deeds of the supporters of infidelity; at last the mischievous people
would have to be pressed down.
Woe is me! at that time those
people were pressed and remained under pressure for a long time, but then even
the Muslims also became the slaves of desires and were entangled in the same
badness, in which the Jews and the Hypocrites had been entangling, and they
were punished in the same manner.
