Lesson
Shaaaq-quu –
(who opposed), it is a past tense and origin of it is yushaaqiqu, which exists in the above quoted verse. The words mushaaqatah and shaqaaq have been derived also from the word shaq, which has been passed in the last Section of the first Part. The
meanings of shaq and shaqaaq are “to separate and separation”,
to break, to divide and to tear are used also as its meanings. Mushaaqatah means “to strive for being
separate from one another”. It aims that “whoso will make up his mind to fight
with Allah Almighty; He will cause him to suffer from severe misfortune, in the
world as well as in the Hereafter.
It was promised in the previous
verse that “Allah Almighty commanded the Angels (peace be upon Them) that they
should encourage the Believers. Then He commanded: Smite the necks of infidels
and smite of them each finger. In this verse, the reason of smiting so severely
has been described.
It is commanded that those people
have opposed Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him). Therefore, O Believers! Allah Almighty has made you conquerors
over them. It is known about this incident from the Sayings (Ahaadith) of God’s Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), that seldom any hit by any Muslim over
any idolater would have gone blank. Many assailants have told: As soon as we
raised our hands to strike (not yet hit), the infidel himself or his head fell
on the ground (before the stroke). As though, indicating towards the enemy for
the purpose of striking was sufficient for the opposite instead of striking to
kill him. Its main reason was “Fear of the Believers including the help of the
Angels”.
Next, the disbelievers are being
addressed: This is misfortune, disgrace and calamity for you in the world;
which has been sent down on you due to your evil deeds, so taste it and weep on
your lot. After it, when the obedient and believers will be rewarded and sent
to the Garden, then God Almighty will command for you: Pull and cast them into
the Fire of Hell, which We have prepared for the disbelievers. (God forbid).
