Commentary
Yaq-tarifuun –
(they earn), this word is from ‘iqtaraaf, which has been derived
from qaraf. Qaraf means “to gain, to earn, to practice, to
work”.
It was discussed in the lessons
of previous verses that there are a few people in the world who think correctly
and do right. Many are such people who have made over their rope in the hands
of their wishes to lead them. They go towards that direction whither their
wishes drive them.
The Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and care of Him, His nation is
being commanded that they should not obey/follow others. They should act upon
the commands mentioned in the Holy Qur’aan. Following others will
lead them astray, whereas going in accordance with the Revelations of
Holy Qur’an is just going Straight Way. The same matter has
been caused to understand in this verse through another method.
It is commanded that you should
leave every kind of sin, whether that is open or hidden. Those people who
commit the sin, certainly they will be punished for their evil deeds. It should
be understood properly.
If any person commits any deed
by the order of any such person, who commands against the Holy Qur’an,
that will be an open sin. Moreover, if he performs according to Its command,
that will not be an open sin, but if his heart boggles in the command of Holy Qur’an,
then it will be a secret sin. One should be saved from these both kinds of
sins. Neither should he do by the command of any such person, nor should he
have any doubt in the command of Holy Qur’aan by the saying of
any other.
Those people who are saved from
afflicting others, theft, bribe and immorality due to the fear of government
only that lest the police seize and the ruler punish them, they are secret
sinners and their such act is a hidden sin, because, whenever they will get
such opportunity to commit any sin, in the condition that neither the police
can observe them and nor the ruler exists there, at that time they will commit
the open sin being fearless.
Therefore, it is the form of
being saved from the open and secret sin that they should not forsake the sin
only due to the fear of the police or the ruler, but the Believer should
forsake the sin as it is disobedience of the command of Holy Qur’an.
And he should keep himself away from committing the sin during privacy too,
because Holy Qur’an has forbidden him. If he did not do so,
then he will be punished in above both forms (of sin – open and secret)
according to this verse, because the person, who escapes from the evil deeds
due to the fear of police or the ruler, actually his heart is a sinner. And if
any other person cannot observe his sin, even then Allah Almighty is Best Aware
of his sin.
Likewise there is no one to
prevent the sinner during privacy, but he is breaking the command of Holy Qur’an and
Allah Almighty is looking at him. He will punish him properly.
The aim of this verse is that
our Lord i.e. Allah (God) Almighty commands us to keep our open and secret
pure, chaste and clean. He says that neither you should commit any sin before
anyone, nor secretly, and neither by your body parts, nor in your heart. Any
sin is the sin in all conditions.
