Claim of Truth and Challenge of Holy Qur-‘aan

 

Warning for the Hypocrites (L–39)

20b.  وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمعِهِم وَأَبصارِهِم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

20b.  Wa law shaaa-‘Allaahu  lazahaba bisam-‘ihim wa’absaarihim.  ‘InnAllaaha ‘alaa kulli shay-‘in- Qadiir. (Section 2)

20b.  Had God willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. God is capable of everything.

Explanation regarding Hypocrites had begun with effect from the beginning of this Section, which goes to an end here. God bestowed to the mankind powers of hearing and seeing. But the Hypocrites applied these powers to reap casual advantages of the world and to fulfil their sensual desires. They closed their ears and eyes completely from observing the Signs of God and hearing the Voice of Truth. They misused these powers instead of using them for the right purpose.

Now God warns them that if they will not refrain from such wrong attitude, then these powers will be snatched from them. Although the Hypocrites close their eyes from looking at the glare of lightning due to fear of death; and their eyes are dazzled, they cram their fingers into their ears and try to escape from hearing the thunder-bolt of lightning and the death. God may snatch their vision and hearing power at any time whether they try more than enough to save themselves.

All powers of thinking, hearing and looking have been given to the mankind by God by His kindness, but when he does not use them according to the Divine Law, then he would have to fear every time that lest God snatch them. If He delays in snatching for some time, then the mankind should not be fearless because punishment may be delayed by Him. It is possible that He has delayed intentionally or it is due to His kindness.

If any person has eyes and ears, even then, without the Will and Intention of God, both things cannot become able to work. He can forfeit the mankind from using powers of the organs, if He desire. Having eyes he may not see, having ears he may not hear and it is not out of His Power. He has established rules, time and causes for management of this world. He can finish at once the entire Infidels, Hypocrites and Deniers; but due to prescribed rules, they get respite; so that, they should refrain from wickedness. Despite it, if they do not shun, His wrath comes upon them in such a way that even they would have not ever thought. So, this result happened in mostly cases of Hypocrites.
