Commentary
Mas-tuuran – (written, set forth), this
word is a passive or past participle from satara. Satara means
“to write”. Here it aims “it has been recorded in Lawhim-Mahfuuz (A
Table on which the destinies of the world since its creation are written)”.
Holy Qur’an desires to cause to understand
the mankind that the entire universe has been created according to a specific
outline and thought plan. Everything has been placed in order at its proper
place. This is not such outline and plan which may be removed, but it has been
saved in written form in Lawhim-Mahfuuz (A Table on which the destinies
of the world since its creation are written), that among the human beings;
there will be all kinds of people – good and bad. Some of them will believe in
Allah Almighty, but some will follow their own desires. These disobedient
people will be punished because of their wicked deeds.
In this verse, about the End of every township in
accordance with the Divine Law has been described, because it is impossible
that no obstinate or slave of own wishes exists in any township. Therefore, certainly
the evil days of such people will bloom sometime or other. Before the Day of
Resurrection, righteous people will be finished by natural death; and only
wicked people will be living. Out of them; whose wickedness and depravity of
nature will be more than limit, they will be destroyed entirely. And those who
will be less wicked and wretch than the above mentioned, they will be punished
with dire punishment. At last, the entire living beings will expire and the
ruin of the Hereafter will be started.
It has been described in this verse that This Law
is determined and included in the creation of the world. The people should
follow the Commands mentioned in Holy Qur’an to save themselves from the
Doom.
