Commentary
Badda-la – (changed)
the words which had been told them for saying, they changed them and adopted
those words in which the meanings of buffoonery and laughter were hidden
instead of forgiveness.
Rijzun – (wrath) Wrath of
God Almighty comes in different forms upon the persons who become evildoer,
disloyal, mutineer or rebel. This word is used for every type of torture also.
The commentators of the religion have described that the word ‘wrath’ mentioned
in this verse, was in the form of Plague on the Children of Israel.
Bimaa kaanuu
yaf-suquun – (because they were evildoers, they used to
disobey). This word has been derived from the word fisq which
means disobeying, corruption, adulteration or fornication. So the individual
who is evildoer or who disobeys the Command of God Almighty is called Faasiq (adulterer, fornicator and
corrupt). This sentence signifies that the Children of Israel had not
refrained physically due to which the Plague spread over them. But they used to
disobey the orders of God Almighty continuously, resultant; they were punished
with the disease of plague.
When the Children
of Israel conquered the city of Areehaa during the period of
Prophet Yusha’ (peace be upon Him) these people became
evildoers instead of thanking God Almighty, and by changing His Commands, they
began to deride, fun, joke and buffoonery. So instead of using the word ‘hittatun’ (Begging for Mercy or Grace) they
entered in the city saying ‘hintatun fii sha’-ratin’ (grain in the spike
of corn) and instead of prostrating, they entered from the gate of city by
dragging themselves.
They were
punished by the disease “Plague” due to this disobedience and God Almighty
says, “We sent down wrath upon the evildoers from heaven due to their evil
deeds”. It was the result that nearly seventy thousand Children
of Israel became victim of the Plague.
God Almighty is
reminding the Children of Israel about His favors on them so that
they might bear in mind and come unto the straight path by giving Him thanks.
We learnt from
this verse that due to His favors, we should thank God, the Most High. Many
nations were ruined due to haughtiness and proud.
