Commentary
Fa-‘azalla-huma – (Then they
were enticed). This word has been derived from zallah, which means “to entice,
to cause to deflect, to cause to remove from a particular place”. Intentional
disobedience or rebellion does not come in the meaning of this word. But it is
such an error, a slip; which is due to omission or unknowingly mistake.
‘Ash-shay-taanu –(Satan), it
means such creature who went away from the Mercy of Allah Almighty. It is the
second name of Iblis. He disobeyed the command of God Almighty, so
He was ordered to get out of the Paradise . Then He
became mortal enemy of the generation of Adam (Peace be upon Him). He cannot
compel the human being to disobey God or to commit evil, but He induces the
mankind with different methods to go on the path of evil. He is able to
influence (whether he is nigh or far) without measurement of the
distances. Natural resistances are valueless for him.
‘Anhaa – (by means of
it) It may be an indication towards the tree. That is to say; by means of the
tree, Satan caused to deflect them {Adam and Eve (Peace be upon them)} and it
may also be an indication towards the Paradise , in
this form, it will be meant they (Peace be upon them) were caused to expel from
the Gardens.
God Almighty settled
Adam and His wife (Peace be upon them) in Paradise and
prevented from eating the fruit of that particular tree, but not to go nigh it.
Satan did not fall prostrate toward Adam (peace be upon Him), so He became a
renegade and mortal foe of Adam (peace be upon Him) due to jealousy. He
intended strongly in his heart that anyhow Adam should be caused to deflect
from the Paradise .
In the Holy Qur’aan, it
is mentioned at another place that Iblis approached Adam and
His wife (peace be upon Them) and assured Them by swearing that He was Their
friend and well-wisher, and caused to instigate Them: If you will eat the fruit
of this tree, you will become Angels or will live in the Paradise forever. And you will never be discharged from
here.
Adam and His wife
(peace be upon them) were entrapped. They did not know that anyone can swear
falsely of God Almighty. They ate the fruit of that tree. As soon as they ate
the fruit, their raiment of Paradise was
dropped down from their bodies and they began to cover their shame being
bashful with the leaves of the trees. Allah Almighty ordered them to get out
from there. Satan became cause of their deflection from the Paradise . It is
necessary for us to try our best to save ourselves from His deception.
