Commentary

It was suggested to the disbelievers in the previous verses: Know by means of history and by traveling in the land, the consequence of those people, who rejected Allah Almighty and His Laws. The correct way has been described in this verse about concluding the consequence from the incidents i.e. the person, who will consider thoughtfully in to the previous and present circumstances of the world, the first question, which will rise in his heart is, “Who is the Master and the Manager of this world?” He will find in the history that some revolted people claimed during their own times that they were masters themselves of the world, and after transgressing for a short time, they were ruined. The travelers can know their consequences by observing their signs and tumbled down buildings etc.

Then it can be asked: Why does Allah Almighty not punish the evil doers by holding their ears immediately, if He is the Master of entire creatures? Answering to this question, it is commanded: Allah Almighty i.e. the Master of the entire creatures has established a basic rule for the management of the world. As long the world is to be preserved, a separate code of life and the life’s course will be fixed for every kind of creature according to its creation. Its basic rule is Mercy. The meanings of “the Mercy” have been explained in the first Chapter of Holy Qur’aan “’Al-Faatihah” (The Opening). Here, it is compulsory to understand that every kind of the creature has its separate internal competency. There is a Rule to train this ability and make it useful. It is the demand of every creature’s internal proficiency that everything should be provided like independence and it’s necessities for its growth and usefulness. The Law desires that the person/creature, which breaks it, should be punished properly. But the Mercy wishes that, wherever, there is a shove between independence of competency and the Law, there, the matter should be overlooked. That is to say; the necessity should be fulfilled. Full punishment for breaking the law should be given on the Day of Resurrection, although some punishment is given even in this world advisedly.
