Commentary
‘
It
was discussed in the previous verses that Allah Almighty says: We have arranged
to bring the earth to life through raining for mankind’s apparent and physical
life, so that vegetables, fruit and grains maybe produced from it and food may
be provided for the body of human being.
From
here, this description begins that (Allah Almighty explains): Similarly We have
arranged for mankind’s hidden and spiritual life and We have sent Our Messages
unto human beings through the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon Them),
which are like the rain for bringing their souls to life. If they will act upon
those Revelations, their souls will become verdant, green and prosperous as the
earth with rain, but some souls are entirely like barren land, as the rain is
never useful for them.
It
is commanded that the Children of Adam along with Him and His wife - Eve (peace
be upon Them), who were sent down on the earth for dwelling, they carried on
going the straight path, prescribed for them for a long time. But after some
period they began to go astray. Then Allah Almighty sent unto them Prophet Noah
(peace be upon Him) as His Messenger, He caused to understand His nation and
preached: Behold! Worship God only. There is none your worthy of worship save
Him. If you chose others as worshiped leaving Allah Almighty, I fear that on
the Day of Resurrection, which is a very Awful Day, you will suffer very
painful Doom and retribution.
Hearing
these words of Prophet Noah (peace be upon Him), the chieftains, the rich and
honored people from His nation said: O Noah (peace be upon Him)! We have felt
that you have lost your sense (God forbid), because we have found manifest
signs of straying into You.
The
Commentators explain that Adam (peace be upon Him) had declared before His
children that: Satan has caused to come us out from the Garden, and Allah
Almighty has admonished us that: If you worshiped Me only after knowing Me in
the world and did not ascribe any partner with Me, then after death, on the Day
of Judgment, after counting your deeds, the successful people will be entered
into the Garden again. It manifests that there are two Pillars of the Religion:
·
Original Unity (Oneness of God)
and
·
The Belief in the Doomsday.
The Children of Adam (peace be
upon Him) kept their footing on the Unity for a long time and many individuals
of higher dignity were born into them. The common people were so much attached
to them that after their death, they made their idols and began to worship
them. Therefore, Messenger Noah (peace be upon Him) was sent to admonish them.
