Commentary
In the previous section, the
Muslims were forbidden that they should not fix the lawful and pure things as
unlawful for themselves, and it was told that they should give up those some
things, which are impure and bad. It was signified that the evil things are
those, due to which Satan gets chance to cause to fight and raise disturbance
among the human beings. On the contrary, Allah Almighty has kept very big advantages in the good, pure and
lawful things. The aim to cause to understand from it was that certainly those
deeds and things are harmful for the human beings, which are forbidden by Allah Almighty.
And certainly those deeds and things are useful and advantageous for the
mankind, either in the world or on the Day of Resurrection, which are commanded
by Him to be done. Therefore, the Muslims should stop those acts immediately,
about which Allah Almighty has forbidden and do those acts immediately, about
which He has enjoined to do, because it is impossible that Allah Almighty
bids to do a deed and there is no usefulness in that command.
The verse under discussion
today, makes the same subject known clearly that science of human being is not
sufficient to know the good and the evil of the things/acts. So they should be
informed that pure things and impure things will never be alike in grades. If
the pure thing is even less in quantity, even then that is better than the
impure in plenty. Although, the evil becomes public in each direction and the
people are taken in that the thing, which has become prevalent, would be good.
If the evil has spread everywhere and the people do it generally, then it does
not mean that it would be good. Goodness and badness of anything depends on the
command of Allah Almighty.
At the end of the last
verse it has been described that the men of understanding should be mindful of
their duty to Allah Almighty. Hope of their liberation is in it only. Another point
has come out in this verse also that the decision should not depend on the
majority of votes or opinions, but it should be according to the commands of Allah Almighty
and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
