from them. As often as it flasheth forth for them they walk therein, and when
it darkeneth against them they stand still.

Commentary
Yakhtafu – {Snatch away, take (the
sight) suddenly away}. Here it means ‘being dazzled of the eyes’ that is to
say; prevalence, power and magnificence of Islam are sufficient to dazzle their
eyes and inspire with awe over their hearts.
Condition of the second kind of
Hypocrites has been discussed in this verse with more explanation and detail.
In the previous verse, instance of ‘the rain’ was given to disclose their
nature that they pounce towards their benefits. But if they would have to do
some labor or bear some loss then they get rid of the situation.
The rain becomes cause of many
advantages for the mankind. But when they look thunder-bolt of clouds and glare
of lightening in it, then they cram their fingers into their ears and try to be
saved from it and deny totally from the advantages of the rain. They do not
understand that if someone has to sacrifice something or he has to suffer from
some trial for the cause of betterment and prosperity, he should not fear from
it.
When the Hypocrites observe that Islam
is succeeding and getting victories; their feet begin to move towards Islam.
Actually their hearts do not want to search the truth. Only due to fear and
glory of Islam, they incline towards it. And when they observe that the Muslims
have been suffering from difficulties and trials; then they go in the state of
stopping suddenly because of refusal and uncertainty. And their feet stop
moving towards Islam. As though, like the lightening of the clouds, when the
Light of Islam is manifested on them, they embrace Islam, continue standing and
sitting with the Muslims, and declare that they are believers. But as soon as,
there is darkness, that is to say; they begin to suffer from difficulties and
calamities, then they leave their companionship, and return back to the
infidelity.
From it, this fact is obvious that
comfort and calamity exist collectively always. If we sacrifice our lives,
wealth and children in the Way of Allah Almighty; then surely; the success and
the betterment will be our fate as the retribution of the sacrifice. This
behavior is incorrect at all that we run behind our advantages, but when the
time of trial comes, we keep ourselves back. Allah Almighty does not like this.
