Commentary
Raa-‘inaa – (Listen to
us, show us favor)
‘Unzurnaa – (Look upon
us), this word has the same meanings also, “Listen to us, show us favor”.
The Children of Israel used to exist in the Conference of the
Messenger of God Almighty Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon
Him), and listen to the Advice and preaching. Whenever they could not hear any
word and wished to ask again, then they used to say raa-‘ina.
Hearing the word raa-‘ina from them, some times the Muslims
began to use this word too. God Almighty prevented them that they should not
use this word. If they wish to say so, they should use the word “’unzurnaa”.
In fact, the Children of Israel used to say this word raa-‘inaa due to ill-will and joke. They
intentionally used to say as ra-‘iinaa,
which means ‘our shepherd’ and in the Jewish language, the word raa-‘inaa is used for the words “fool,
blockhead, most foolish, stupid and idiot” also.
Allah Almighty forbade the Muslims from
using this word (raa-‘inaa) and commanded to replace it as ‘unzurnaa, which means “Look
upon us”. The aspect of joke or censure is not found in this word. Along with
the use of this word, it has been ordered also: “be ye listeners” (was-ma-‘uu),
so that you would not have to ask again for repetition.
It is learnt from the command of ‘as-ma-‘uu too that the Sayings, Advice and
preaching by the Prophet of God Almighty Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and
blessings be upon Him) should be heard with full attention. So the individuals,
who consider that only the Holy Qur’an is sufficient for guidance of the
human beings, they should learn from this decision of Holy Qur’an themselves and imagine
that how much it has been pressed to hear and accept the Sayings, advice and
preaching according to this verse and many other verses. It has been mentioned
also in another verse that the decision of the Messenger of Allah (glory,
grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) is the last and final decision for you
in every matter. (Suratun-Nissa): O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey
the Messenger and those of you who are in authority; then if ye have a dispute
concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and the Messenger if ye are (in truth)
believers in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more seemly in the
end”. (IV : 59)
At the end, God Almighty commands that those people, who have been
prepared to deride the Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be
upon Him) by calling Him with wicked words and making fun of Him, are the
disbelievers and for disbelievers is a painful doom.
