Thoughts of Ignorance (L-474)
|
وَطَآئِفَةٌ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ غَيْرَ ٱلْحَقِّ ظَنَّ ٱلْجَٰهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ مِن شَىْءٍ قُلْ إِنَّٱلْأَمْرَ 154b. كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِ |

154b. Wa taaa-‘ifatun- qad
‘ahammat-hum ‘anfusuhum yazunnuuna Billaahi
gayral-haqqi zannal-jaahiliyyah. Yaquuluuna hal-lanaa
minal-‘amri min-shay’. Qul ‘innal-‘amra
kullahuu Lillaahi. |

154b. while others cared only for themselves, thinking of
God thoughts that were untrue—thoughts of ignorance—saying, “Is anything up
to us?” Say, “Everything is up to God.” |
Circumstances of coward and spiritless Hypocrites are being described in this verse, who neither used to care for Islam, nor of the Gracious Messenger (ﷺ), but they used to hold themselves most dear. They were constantly thinking, “How can we save ourselves, lest Army of the Infidels would attack on us again”. How could slumber or sleep come over them in such frightful condition?
Sincere Muslims did not run away from the battlefield even after observing the danger and remained steady and staying with Messenger (ﷺ). For removing their fatigue and tiredness; God prevailed slumber upon them. It produced peace and satisfaction in their hearts. Being refreshed they again stood up before the enemies.
There was a thief in the hearts of Hypocrites. They used to keep their lives dearer than Belief and Islam. They wished to save only their own lives. How slumber could prevail them while false thoughts had encircled their hearts. They said, “Where promises of God have gone? Where is Divine help and victory now? It seems that Islam is near to go to an end now. Messenger (ﷺ) and the Muslims will not be able to go back to their homes now. As it has been described at another place, “Bal zanantum ‘allany-yanqali-bar-Rasuulu wal-Mu’-minuuna ‘ilaaa ‘ahliihim ‘abadaa (Nay, but you deemed that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their own folks) - Suratul: Fat-h (Victory) (section -2).
The Hypocrites used to say, “Nothing is in our control”. Although, hypocrites were true apparently saying such words, really nothing is in the control of any human being. Everything is in the control of God. If He desires to make something, He may do so and if He wishes to destroy; then it is easy for Him to destroy. He can allow one to prevail over others or conquer, either make someone ruler or subordinate. But the hypocrites were considering something other as its meanings.
‘Al-jaahiliyyah- (like the ignorant), from this word, the life before Islam is also inferred, because at that time, the Arabs neither had awareness of the religion, nor did they know the world. They were entirely ignorant and ill-mannered..jpg)
