Lesson
Muhiitun – (Encompassed, circumscribed). Here it
means that God has circumscribed them with His Knowledge, His Nature and His
Divinity.
As the both types of Hypocrites have
been discussed earlier:
1. Those people who are eternal enemies of
Islam by their hearts but they say themselves ‘believers’ and claim to be
patrons of the Muslims.
2. The
people who are naturally weak by temperament, cowardice and un- ambitious.
They accept impression of that assembly which they attend. If they sit with
Muslims, listen their preaching and invitation, look their dignity and
success then being terrified enter into Islam. But when they lie down in any
trial or difficulty then they return towards infidelity. They are afraid of labour
and death.
At
the end of this verse that Allah Almighty is howsoever encompassing these
Hypocrites, they run away from Islam only for the sake of saving themselves from
labour and death. But God Almighty has complete power and dignity upon them.
So how can they protect themselves from death? Islam claims that they should
leave carnal deliciousness and false passions. They should offer their wealth
and lives in the path of God. They should bear difficulties and calamities.
They
do not want to hear the verses of Agony and anguish. And go away being very
inattentively but they can not escape from the Hold of God. Try to protect themselves
from seizure of Sole Commander is only folly and proof of stupidity. God
gives them only delay and produces the opportunities to understand. When
their length of time will end then any power of the world and their any best
friend will not be able to save them from fury of God. He knows their all
activities including the secrets which they have hidden in their chests and
He has containing Divinity over them. He has power to punish anyone, any time
as He wishes.
As thunder-bolt,
glaze and thunder of lightening be in rain, like this hardness, labour,
poverty and difficulties exist in Islam for trial but resultantly they
succeed in both the worlds i.e. this life and on the Day of Resurrection. So mankind
should not run away from Islam due to fear of these calamities, moreover he
should stand firm on it. If a mankind wishes to run away from the calamities
he can not escape from Allah Almighty.
