Lesson
Kasayyi-bin – (Like a rainstorm), this word has come
out from suub, which means “cloud or coming down of the
rain”.
‘As-samaaa-‘i –
(The skies), it has been derived from samu, which means
“elevation, exaltation”. Every such thing which is at height whether that is
clouds or skies, are included in it.
As we have discussed in
a previous lesson that there are two kinds of hypocrites, first type of the
people, who are severe enemies of Islam heartily but apparently they claim that
they are Muslims. Their likeness has passed in lesson # 34.
In this verse, second
type of hypocrites is being explained. They neither enter in Islam wholeheartedly
and nor give it up; due to their weak temperament. But they remain immersed in
doubt and perplexity, and can’t decide altogether. Likeness of this kind of
hypocrites is given with heavy rains. There are uncountable benefits in it.
Barren land becomes fertile, crops begin to bloom, canals and streamlets begin
to flow. But along with it, there is thunder of clouds; which causes trembling of
the hearts, and the flash of lightening also, which causes the eyes to be
purblind. Very dark darkness spreads over everywhere. But still; despite these
happenings, none is enemy of the rains.
Islam also came entirely
with blessing like rains but there are some difficulties and restrictions too
with it like prayer, fasting, paying the poor-due (Zakaah), pilgrimage,
try and strive (Jihad) and other commands of Allah Almighty. The Hypocrites
neglect and fear from these restrictions.
Whenever the Hypocrites used
to see advantages of Islam, they ran towards it but when the time came to
sacrifice, they turned back. Would that they had abandoned their doubts,
adopted one way and connected with Islam.
