Lesson
Marazun – Disease. There are two kinds of
diseases, physical and spiritual. The fault, defect or pain in the body is
produced by the bodily disease. And the spiritual disease enrages the manners,
and the spirit gets ailment. Here it is the conversation about the spiritual
diseases of infidelity and hypocrisy, because they prevent the human being from
doing good deeds and arranging for the next life (after death). Here meanings
of diseases are ailments of the spirit which prevents to attain the excellence,
for instance; ignorance, jealousy, ill-will, love of property & wealth and
telling a lie etc.
Fa – (So) this particle indicates towards the talk
about the consequence and fruit of above mentioned diseases.
Zaada – (Increased) it means: God Almighty increased
their jealousy by giving more victories and promotions to the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Muslims. The disease of enmity against
Islam and jealousy with the Muslims was increased more in their hearts.
‘Azaabun
‘aliim – (a Painful
Doom/agony), the word ‘aliim has come
out from ‘alam, which means pain. The Disbelievers will be punished with a
painful agony on the Doomsday.
Yakzibuun –
(They tell a lie). This word has been derived from kizb, which means “a lie”. A
lie is that news which is against the reality and harmful for the people.
In this verse, the
manners of Hypocrites have been explained with more detail. They have ailment
of infidelity and hypocrisy in their hearts which they have grown themselves.
As the Muslims are granted promotions and victories, the jealousy and ill-will
increases in their hearts.
Fazaada-humUllaahu
marazaa - (so Allah
Increaseth their disease). It doesn’t mean that God Almighty has increased
their infidelity and hypocrisy Himself, but it aims that due to the result of
their infidelity and hypocrisy, God Almighty has increased their ailment. Due
to such manner, the circumstances so changed, from which they took increment in
their disease. Otherwise, if they had used their sense correctly, they would
have found the Guidance from the same circumstances. As the result of disease
lessens the physical strength, just like this, the result of spiritual disease
will be in the form of a Painful Agony on the Day of Resurrection.
