Persons Who Sold Faith, Purchased Disbelief

 

Painful doom for them who exchange blasphemy for faith (L-490)

 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلْكُفْرَ بِٱلْإِيمَٰنِ لَن يَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ.  177

 وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَا نُمْلِى لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ إِنَّمَا نُمْلِى لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُوٓا۟ إِثْمًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ.  178

177.  ‘Innal-laziinash-tarawul-kufra  bil-‘iimaani  lany-yazur-rUllaaha  shay-‘aa.  Wa  lahum  ‘azaabun  ‘aliim. 

178.  Wa  laa  yah-sabannal-laziina  kafaruuu  ‘annamaa  numlii  lahum   khayrul-li-‘an-fusihim.  ‘Innamaa  numlii  lahum  li-yaz-daaduuu  ’ismaa.  Wa  lahum  ‘azaabum-muhiin.

177. Those who exchange blasphemy for faith will not harm God in the least. A painful torment awaits them.

178. Those who disbelieve should not assume that We respite them for their own good. In fact, We only respite them so that they may increase in sinfulness. A humiliating torment awaits them.

 ‘Ash-taraw – (they purchased), it also means ‘to sell as well as to buy’ but here it aims to purchase. That is to say, they left Belief and Faith, and chose infidelity and disbelief.

Muhiin – (shameful, wretched), this word has been derived from the word ‘ahaanat, which means insult, disgrace, suffering shame or dishonor. Our Lord Almighty! Save the entire Believers and Muslims from this kind of torment.

Before these verses, Satan and the devils were being discussed that they plan to frighten the Believers by their different vicious and terrifying managements, but it is compulsory for the Believers that they should not have any fear in their hearts except God. The devils run easily to infidelity, disbelief and insurrection leaving Faith and Islam. Their attempts of this type do never injure God.

Noor-e-Khuda hae kufr ki harkat pe khanda zan

Phoonkon se yeh charaagh, bujhaya na jae ga

(The Light of God is smiling on the act of infidelity

This Lamp would never be extinguished with blows)

Now it is being commanded again that those people have purchased infidelity and disbelief at the price of faith. By doing so, they can never harm God, His Messenger (ﷺ) or His religion. Contrary to this, they will suffer the painful doom. If God has given them some rein, then they should not be proud that this rein bodes well for their souls. The rein of punishment is not favorable for them. But God gives them rein only that they may grow in sinfulness. Moreover, they will be fallen into a shameful doom.
