Commentary
The Punishments regarding some
crimes i.e. murder, robbery and theft etc. were discussed in the previous
lesson. It was possible that some stupid people think about these punishments
that those are very severe, because everyone is not able to prove the punishment
of any crime after understanding the badness of that crime completely.
Apparently, he thinks “Alas! A hale and healthy person has been sentenced to
death or cut off a very useful thing like one’s hand
forever. Allah Almighty already signified by telling His one
attribute with every punishment. An intelligent person will understand
immediately from it that God is Mighty and Wise also as He is Able to do
all things i.e. He knows the fact of every crime and understands the quantity
and limit of that loss which has to bear by the mankind and which disturbance
becomes public in the world. And then He determines a suitable punishment of
that particular crime, which conforms entirely according to quantity and limit
of that particular sin. But it has been disclosed such matter very clearly in
this verse for those unintelligent and imprudent people, who cannot view the
end and the far results of any deed.
Allah Almighty commands
that without any doubt the human being is ignorant but “Can he not know only
even that everything in the earth and heavens, whether that is small or big, up
or down, present or absent, human or beastly, angelus or belongs to demons, is
in the Sovereignty of Allah Almighty. Not only He possesses but He is
Owner also of everything and manages the entire universe. He Orders, what He
wills, punishes, to whom He wishes and forgives to whom He desires. Nothing is
out of His control. He knows everything and deals properly.
The person, who will understand
this verse thoroughly, can never criticize any commandment
of Allah Almighty. No doubt can take place in one’s heart upon being
His order as correct and proper. Wonderful! We accept this rule regarding human
being, that the owner of anything can do, what he wants to do with the thing,
which is in his ownership, but forget entirely this principle in the case
of Allah Almighty.
