Liking and disliking of Mankind (L-272)
|
وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكْرَهُوا۟ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ
وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تُحِبُّوا۟ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ
وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ216b. |

216b. Wa ‘asaaa ‘an- takrahuu
shay-‘anw-wa huwa khayrul-lakum. Wa
‘asaaa ‘an- tuhibbuu shay- ‘anw-wa huwa
sharrul-lakum. WAllaahu ya’- lamu wa ‘antum laa
ta’-lamuun. (Section 26/10) |

216b. But it may be that you dislike something while
it is good for you, and it may be that you like something while it is bad for
you. God knows, and you do not know. |
In the previous part of the verse, God ordained for warfare and commanded that apparently the warfare seems bad to you but there is no other resource for the life of the community and exaltation of the nation without it.
Now to clear this subject, it is being commanded in a very good and unique manner: “And it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you.” Its evidence exists that, you don’t know about your good and bad. You don’t know, “what is better for you and what is worse. However, our Creator knows very well that what is better and what is worse for us. While it is fact; then we must do that whatsoever He says and which He commands. There is something good and better for us in it.
Without any doubt; the most difficult thing in this world is to put one’s life and wealth in danger, and these both fears exist in the warfare. The human being can’t be ready easily to sacrifice these precious things. However, if he had known that this life and the entire paraphernalia of this life are casual, but immortal life and permanent comfort will be bestowed after it, then these things have no importance for the mankind.
Secondly, if the mankind would have belief that his Creator knows better concerning his profit and loss than himself, moreover that; he doesn’t have more knowledge. The entire wisdom and goodness are in His control and whatever He says, that all is for the favor of mankind. In this form, an individual will get ready to sacrifice - whether it is his life and wealth or any other most precious thing. And at that time, nothing will be valuable for him.
