Commentary
Laa taqrabaa - come not nigh
(near). Adam (peace be upon Him) was prevented from going near a tree of Paradise for the purpose that he should not desire the
fruit of that tree. Actual object of this command was that he (peace be upon
Him) should not eat the fruit of that particular tree, which was forbidden at
that time for them.
Haazihish-shajarata – ‘this tree’
was a tree from the trees of Paradise and
Adam (peace be upon Him) was caused to recognize about that tree. In Holy Qur’aan there is no
explanation about it, however the commentators have different views about that
particular tree. Some of them say that it was the tree of grapes and some say
that it was plant of wheat; some have their separate views as dates or fig. It
has not been explained in the Sayings of Messenger of God (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam).
Minaz-zaalimiin – (from the
wrongdoers), it aims such people, who oppress themselves. Disobeying the
commands of God Almighty is actually the biggest tyranny on oneself. Now it is
obvious that, at that time, means of Paradise was
not as the reward of good deeds, as now it has. But at that time, there were
Religious Laws also. Some orders were for obeying them and some such actions
did exist, from which mankind was prevented.
Allah Almighty kept
Adam (peace be upon Him) in Jannah after appointing him His
Caliph. And when he (peace be upon Him) felt loneliness, then Allah Almighty
created Eve (peace be upon her). He favored them further that He permitted them
that from where they wish; eat freely. However, there was a tree, about which
Allah Almighty commanded: Come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrongdoers.
It has been cleared
from this lesson that the individual, who commits the works of doubts and
suspicions, there is great danger for him regarding committing wrong works. It was
the reason that God Almighty forbade Adam (peace be upon Him) from going near
that forbidden tree, so that, neither they will go nigh the tree and nor they
will desire to eat it. We should also abstain from the doubtful and suspicious
things. It should also be remembered that the person, who disobeys the commands
of God Almighty, he actually harms himself at his own. As one is put in
difficulties in this world, he will suffer in the next world too i.e. in the
Day of Resurrection.
