Lesson
Yujza – (will have the
recompense), this word has been derived from the word Jazaa, which means ‘retaliation’. The word ‘retaliation’ is used
for both purposes i.e. Reward for them who did good works and punishment for
wrong-doers.
Naqiiraa – (a speck, an atom), as per Arabic language naqiir is a deep line in the Centre of the Stone of
Date fruit. Due to this relation, here it signifies towards a worthless thing.
It was mentioned in
the previous lesson that disbelievers and infidels turn away their faces from Allaah Almighty because they have been
misled by the Devil, they name the idols like females and sacrifice their
religious offerings upon them. Those people will be cast into the Hell and then
they will never be able to come out from the Fire. It was also told that the
Believers, who will do good works, the room for them will be made in the
luxuriant Gardens of the Paradise. They will live there very comfortably
forever.
Listening to this
type of verses regarding reward and punishment, the Jews and the Christians
used to say, “We do not have any concern with it because we are especial
bondmen of God. The agony cannot touch us”. The Jews used to say, “We are (let’s
flee to Allaah) sons of God. How can
we be punished”? At the other hand the Christians have belief, “Prophet Jesus
Christ (peace be upon Him) was hanged and He sacrificed His life as retaliation
of our sins. Therefore, we would not be caught against our sins. No torment
will touch us even if we do any kind of evil/sin”. All of them have been
answered in these verses.
It has been directed
that neither it will be in accordance with the boasting of the Jews and nor it
will be in accordance with what someone else says. It is the principle that the
person, who is evil-doer, will be punished for his/her sins and evils, and
nobody can be his/her protecting friend or helper to save from the grip of Allaah Almighty. And who will do good
works, will have pure belief, that person, whether of male or
female, such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged a speck, and
there will be no any deficiency in his/her reward even equal to a seed of sesamem (til).
