Lesson
Maz-‘uuman – (Degraded), grammatically,
this word is “the Passive Participle” from Zaamun.
Zaamun means “sin, badness, disgrace.
Maz-‘uumun
means “disgraceful, contemptible, vicious”.
Mad-huuraa - (Banished), it is “the passive participle”
too, which has been derived from Dahrun.
Dahrun means “to banish, to reject. Mad-huuran means “driven
away, rejected, disgraced”.
Zaalimiin - (Wrongdoers), plural of Zaalim, which has been made from Zulm. Zulm means “to damage, to lose and to harm - own or any other”.
Here it has the same meaning that “You will be one from losers”.
It was described
in the previous verse that Iblis was
overjoyed because He was reprieved till the Day of Resurrection and began to
say: As I have been humiliated due to Adam (peace be upon Him), now I shall
take revenge with open heart from Him and will make many from His children
stray. The next situation is in this verse.
It is explained
that Allah Almighty commanded after hearing the talk of Satan: Thou has been
degraded and banished so, go forth from here. We don’t care if thou make the
children of Adam (peace be upon Him) stray and mislead them by seducing. There is
no loss of Us in it. We shall throw thou and those who will follow thou into
the Fire of Hell collectively.
After that,
Allah Almighty commanded Adam (peace be upon Him): O Adam! Thou should live in
Gardens along with Thy wife. You will be free from all restrictions but you
should not come near this tree, which is in front of you. Don’t touch it;
otherwise, You will be included among “the losers”.
We have studied
the story of Adam (peace be upon Him) in Chapter two; Suratul Baqarah. It was explained there that before the birth of Adam
(peace be upon Him), Allah Almighty had told the Angels (peace be upon Them): I
shall create a Caliph (Viceroy) on the earth.
It was
manifested from this narration that some responsibilities will be delivered
over the human being after giving him some special powers and thereby he will
be tested that whether he performs his duty properly, which was given to him,
or otherwise?
In the last
verse of Suratul ‘An-‘aam, it has
been explained clearly for the entire humankind that: Allah Almighty has made
all of you His vicegerent on the earth and He desires to test you in this way.
In this
Chapter, description regarding preparing the children of Adam for that Examination
has been reflected. Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) were kept in the Gardens
first, the aim to cause to understand from which was that; it is the actual
place of dwelling for Adam and His children. Purpose of restriction in the
Garden was that they should learn to live in the prescribed limits of Allah
Almighty, they may know the object of every kind of sin and they should recognize
the method: How to submit the request of pardon?
