Lesson
Yaf-taduu – (payment of ransom, to redeem
from captivity, to deliver), it is from ‘iftadaa
and has been derived from fidyah. Fidyah is the thing which is paid to get
freedom from the captivity. Therefore, ‘iftadaa
means “to ransom, to pay for freedom from the restraint”.
It has been described that “if all the things of the earth, the treasuries of the entire world and as
much again therewith have come in the possession of disbelievers, to ransom
them from the doom on the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from
them and they would not be released from the doom and these all things would be
thrown upon their face (returned worthlessly). And they will suffer such a doom,
which will be very painful and they will cry out due to pain.
They will desire very much to come
forth from that Fire of Hell somehow, in which they will cause to enter, but it
will not be in their luck to come forth from It and they would have to settle
with the painful doom forever. That doom will never let them alone.
It signifies that the bribe is
useless before Allaah Almighty. If you
wish to be saved from the doom and His outrage, then you should fear and
believe in Him, and try to please Him. Otherwise, there is no space, running out
from Him. By giving a bribe, you can accomplish your desires in this world, but
there is nothing useful before Allaah
Almighty except His obedience and worship.
