It is not proper for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the
forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after
it hath become clear that they are people of Hell-fire.

Commentary
After causing to understand the
meanings of Islam to the Muslims, and illustrating about their conduct, now it
is being described that “what behavior should be with them; who do not desire
to enter in the circle of Islam, that is to say, either they do not believe in
Allah Almighty but they have ascribed others as partners to Him OR they admit
with their tongues but heartily they do not mention the covenant with Him.
Known from it is that, which
has been explained earlier that they should be treated in the world as they
behave with you. If they wish to live altogether and keep their matters
straight, then you should dwell with them also mutually. Moreover, you should
do acts of kindness for them. If they treat you as a foe, grip up their loins
to trouble you and are inclined to fight, then you should also fight them till
the disturbance is over.
In this verse, behavior with
them has been described from religious aspect. On the basis of religion, there
is a great difference between you and them. You are hopeful of God’s blessings
and kindness, whereas they are revolted from Allah Almighty openly or in their
hearts. Therefore they do not deserve forgiveness of God Almighty. So you
should not pray for their forgiveness.
Some merciful Muslims and the
Messenger Himself (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), who is
Merciful for the entire Worlds (Rahmatal-lil-‘Aalamiin), used to ask for
forgiveness of their idolater and hypocrite relatives, mother, father and
brothers etc. whether they were living or departed. This verse guides about
them clearly.
It is commanded that praying
for the idolaters by the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and
other Muslims for their forgiveness is not proper, because they have no any
such covenant with Allah Almighty, and they either were or are totally
unmindful from His side. Therefore, whether they are very close relatives and
you have known about them that they will enter in the Hell-fire, you should not
pray for their forgiveness.
It is clarified that the
Promise of Paradise is only for such people who have sold their all things to
Allah Almighty and their lives are accomplished with such hobbies, which have
been explained in the previous lesson. Those people who are not like them, you
should not pray for their forgiveness.
