101. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَسْـَٔلُوا۟ عَنْ
أَشْيَآءَ إِن تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ وَإِن تَسْـَٔلُوا۟ عَنْهَا حِينَ
يُنَزَّلُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنْهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ
حَلِيمٌ
101. O ye who believe! Ask not of things which, if they
were made known unto you, would but trouble you; and if ye ask of them when
the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made known unto
you. Allah has pardoned this. And Allah is Forgiving, Clement.

Commentary
Summary of that narration, which
was being explained with effect from the last two Sections, is that you should
neither increase anything, nor decrease yourselves in the matters of the
religion. Do that, about which you are enjoined to do and refrain from that,
which has been forbidden.
Attention of the Muslims has
been drawn towards another matter in this verse. Some people began to ask such
questions that if they were made known, then those matters would have been
framed as the laws of the religion, and it would have become indispensable to
act upon them. So this kind of investigation has been prohibited. In it, there
is a chance of narrowing an open way, willingly or unwillingly.
Allah Almighty says that it is necessary for the believers that they
should not ask questions about such things, due to which, either the labour may
increase, or the grief and sorrow can be created, because at the time of Divine
Revelation, every answer will be descended by inspiration. And then it would
become incumbent to act according to the revealed commandment.
This is a facility from Allah Almighty
that abundant matters have been left without illustration. Bear in mind along
with it also that Allah Almighty is Forgiving too. Actually it should be in such manner
that everyone would have to be ready to act upon that which is commanded, and
none should ask any question at one’s own willingly or unwillingly about
anything.
This verse has the same
instruction, which has been accepted as the best method of framing the laws.
That is to say; to make the things lawful, which are useful clearly, to prevent
entirely from such things, which are harmful openly, and to let the remaining
matters go on every person’s own free will, that one may decide oneself
thoughtfully. This is the Way, which Islam has chosen. Alas! Either many people
do not understand, or they do not act in accordance with it, who understands.
