يَحْزَنُونَ38. |

38. We said: Go down, all of you, from hence; but
verily there will come unto you from Me a Guidance; and whoso will
follow My Guidance, there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they
grieve. |
‘Ah-bituu – (Go down). This Command is not being conveyed to Adam (peace be upon him) and his descendants as a punishment. Error of Adam (peace be upon him) was forgiven. But command to go down on the earth remained as it was because he was appointed as Viceroy on the earth. The aim to keep them in the earth was that the people, who will obey God Almighty, will be sent in the Garden and who will disobey; they will be kept out from the Garden.
Khaw-fun – (Fear), it means perception of any forthcoming loss or pain in future. Here it signifies that the Believers and pious people will not be punished on the Day of Resurrection.
Laa hum yah-zanuun - Not shall they grieve. Origin of this word is huzn, which means “grief of any pleasant charming thing which has lost”. Here it aims “the believers and good people will not repent on their lives they passed in this world”.
Allaah Almighty commanded to Adam (peace be upon him) and his children, “Go down all of you, on the earth and be not sorrowful. I shall look upon you with Kindness there also and My Mercy will be with you in all conditions”. But they were warned also, “My Guidance will reach continuously by means of Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them), you should follow them. Whoso will follow My Guidance, there shall be no fear for them to be thrown into the Hell, and nor they shall feel grievance to be got out from the Paradise. They will be admitted again in the Paradise. It manifests from this story that a mankind can acquire spiritual satisfaction and comfort of the heart only by acting upon the Guidance, sent down by Allaah Almighty. Without it; it is entirely impossible.
Allaah
Almighty accepted repentance of Adam (peace be upon him), then described the
way of living in the world and going to Paradise. We should repent also
for our all previous sins. We must pray for forgiveness and in future; act
according to His Guidance, which He has sent by means of His last Messenger (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).
