Lesson
Muhiitun – (Encompassed, circumscribed). This word
has been derived from ‘ahaatah, which means “to surround an object”. Here it
means that God has circumscribed the Infidels from every aspect with His
Knowledge, His Nature and His Divinity.
As the both kinds of
Hypocrites have been discussed earlier, who are:
1. Those people who are big enemies of Islam
spiritually but apparently they say themselves ‘believers’ and claim that they
are patrons of the Muslims.
2. The people who are naturally weak by
temperament, cowardice and low-courageous. They accept the impression of that
assembly which they attend. If they sit with Muslims, listen to their preaching
and invitation, look their dignity and success, then being terrified they enter
into Islam. But when they face any trial or difficulty, then they return towards
the infidelity. They are afraid of hardship and death.
It has been described at
the end of this verse that Allah Almighty has however encompassed these
Hypocrites, they run away from Islam only for the sake of saving themselves
from difficulties and death. But God Almighty has complete power and dignity
over them. So how can they protect themselves from the death? Islam claims from
them that they should give up carnal pleasures and false desires. They should
offer their wealth and lives in the path of God, and bear difficulties and
calamities.
They do not want to hear
the verses of Agony and God’s wrath. And they go away being very inattentively
but cannot be saved from the grip of God. Trying to protect themselves from the
Hold of Omnipotent is proof of only ignorance and stupidity. God Almighty gives
them only delay and produces the opportunities to understand. When their
respite will end, then no power of the world and any of their best friends will
be able to save them from the fury of God. He knows their all activities
including the secrets, which they have hidden in their hearts and He
encompasses them having Omnipotence. He has power to give them any punishment,
any time as He desire.
As the rain contains
lightening, glaze and thunder-bolt, like this hardness, labor, poverty and
difficulties can be in Islam for trial, but as its resultant, there is success
in the both worlds i.e. this life and on the Day of Resurrection. So mankind
should not run away from Islam due to fear of these temporary calamities.
Moreover, he should stand firm on it. If a mankind wishes to run away from the
calamities, he cannot be saved.
