49b. Lo! Many of mankind are evil-livers.
50. Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan) ignorance
that they are seeking? And who is better than Allah for judgment to a people
who have certainty (in their belief)?

Commentary
Faasi-quun –
(the evil-livers, the disobedient), it is plural of faasiq, which
has been derived from fisq. Fisq means “to
disobey, not to care the law, to act like immoral”.
Jaahi-liyyati –
it is the time, in which no religion was admitted and the people used to take
it as their right to suppress the weak on the basis of their power. Actual
meaning of Jaahi-liyyat is “ignorance” and it is also called “jahal”.
The difference between them is that the word Jaahi-liyyat has
vast meanings i.e. such a condition, in which the rule of personal desires is
followed instead of any law. Such era was before Islam, so, that period is
called Jaahi-liyyati – “the time of (pagan) ignorance”.
It has been described that in
fact maximum people are such, who wish to dwell free from all kinds of
restrictions. Their cordial desire is that there should be no any such person,
who prevents them from their any kind of deed. And they have power to do as
they wish. By establishing a powerful group, they keep others under their own
control and obedience, so that they are addicted to pleasure and nobody may
argue them. These people are actually animals in the form of mankind. They
desire paternal and maternal freedom like animals, and wild law as “Might is
Right”.
Tell them, “It was then, when
the human beings had forgotten the entire rules and regulations due to their
wishes, and had ran far away from their reality i.e. humanity”. They know who
study the history, about the condition of two biggest and famous emperors
of Iran and Rome before Islam. The powerful people had
suppressed the weak as the powerful were like lions and the weak were like cow,
ox, sheep and goat etc. The rulers used to command their public like slaves,
even that they caused to pull their carts like animals.
Allah Almighty commands, “Ask
them - Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan) ignorance that you are seeking
nowadays? Now there is no darkness like a night. A Light of the Religion has
been revealed. The entire Laws of Divine has been described by the Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). And it is clear
that there is no command of anyone acceptable by the Believers before the
Command of Allah Almighty. If those people, who are disbelievers, desire to
obey someone else or their own wishes, then they will be punished by Allah
Almighty very soon due to their evil deeds and disbelief.
