Quran Chapter 6 – 25b & 26 (Pt-7, Stg-2) (L-793) - درس قرآن 

These are not fables of the men of old - (1)

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍ لَّايُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوكَ يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 25

   وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُ وَإِن يُهْلِكُونَ إِلَّآأَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ 26

25b.  so much so that, when they come unto Thee to argue with Thee, the disbelievers say: This is naught else than fables of the men of old. 26.  And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it, and they ruin none save themselves, though they perceive not.

25b.   Hattaaa  ‘izaa  jaaa-‘uuKa  yujaa-diluunaKa  yaquulul-laziina  kafaruuu  ‘in  haazaaa  ‘illaaa  ‘asaa-tirul-‘awwa-liin. 26.  Wa  hum  yan-hawna  ‘anhu  wa  yan-‘awna  ‘anh.  Wa  ‘inyyuh-likuuna  ‘illaaa  ‘anfu-sahum  wa  maa  yash-‘uruun.

  

Commentary

Which story was started in the previous lesson, has been completed here. Their cleverness has increased to such extent that they meet the Muslims apparently, as though they want to show that, “we have no enmity with the Muslims, we meet and listen to them attentively. But those sayings are not able to be accepted. Those are fables and false stories only of old people”. Their coming unto the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is also a trick, so that other people should think that they are trying their best to understand Islam. If their sayings were able to be accepted then they would have accepted them, whereas, absolutely their purpose was not to understand, but to oppose You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).

“When they go out after meeting with you (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) then they tell other people: Do not listen to these sayings, these are (let’s flee to Allah) useless sayings. And they keep their way entirely separate from and against Islam. These silly people do not understand that they are not harming Islam even a little by doing so. However, they are preparing destruction for themselves”.

It is commanded that their presumption has reached such level that they come to you for quarreling and acting like sensible people, these infidels show their opinion: Yes, we listened. It is nothing, otherwise, how could we leave it”? By saying so, they prevent other people from listening to the Messenger’s (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) sayings, and also they run away themselves too from Him. As though; they want to destroy the teachings of Holy Qur’aan by their word and deed, and are trying to remove Islam. But the consequence of it will be no other than that these ignorant will be destroyed at their own and Islam will bud and blossom in the world. So, it happened and their silliness was disclosed to the whole world.
