Commentary
’As-suuu-‘u – evil/bad thing
(intellectually and legally)
‘Al-fah-shaaa-‘u – (foul,
shamelessness and disliked due to morality and respect, the words fahash (indecent,
frivolous) and faahishah (shameless, unchaste) have also been
derived from it.
Two characteristics of
Satan (the Devil) have been described in this verse:
- He teaches evil and fouls always to the
human being. The mankind should never hope for advantage/benefit from the
Devil because it is his nature that he is stained entirely in the evil,
filth, foul, depravity and impurity/pollution, and he wishes to keep
stained the human beings too. He excites every time for any kind of
wickedness, quarrel, sedition, mischief and bustle, and stands in the way
of righteousness. The entire such wishes and works, which are fatal for
human brotherhood and humanity itself, are entered in the evil and foul.
To create a mischief in the safety and peace of the society, to
sow dissension among mutual brotherhood and fraternity, to
extirpate the union and cooperation, not to fulfill the rights of the
servants, it means that the entire works, due to which, tumult spreads,
belong to mischievous and devilish.
- The Devil induces the human beings to
tell the people false, self-invented by themselves talks and show that
these are from the commandments of God Almighty, while Allah Almighty has
never commanded for such things, but the followers of the Devil do all
that, for reaping casual advantages of frail things, worldly temptation
and greed of wealth.
This disease had
become common in the scholars of the Children of Israel. For deceiving the
public, they used to tell the useful for them; self-invented talks and used to
say that it was from God Almighty. Resultant the foundation of their
religion became hollow and they failed for future.
We should learn from this verse that we should
neither take part in the evil deeds and foul, and nor tell the public false and
self-invented matters because these both works belong to Satan.
