are they, the secrets of whose hearts Allah knoweth. So overlook them and
admonish them, and speak to them eloquent words that would touch their very
souls.

Lesson
Zalamuuu - this word
has been derived from the word zulm,
which means tyranny, not according to rule or right, violence, cruelty and such
act due to which someone is deprived of (any other person or himself).
‘anfusa - it is plural of nafs
(the breath, respiration, the soul, the spirit, essence, heart, the person
etc.). It also comes for the meaning of “belonging to, concerning, relevant,
depending on” in the paraphrase. For the first verse (# 63), these meanings are
proper, while for the second verse (# 64) the meaning as “the soul” is
accurate.
Baliiqa - (eloquent), to speak in such a
deep toned voice, which takes one’s heart and he understands it whole-hearted.
In
this verse, Allah Almighty says that their behavior is wrong; you should not be
deceived from their apparent condition and smattering talks. Allah Almighty knows
that entire, whatever they have in their hearts and He will punish them for
their evil deeds at the appropriate time. Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is being commanded by Allah Almighty, “Do not care about their
absurd and hypocritical deeds and keep advising them”. Then it has been
explained that if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto
thee, be abashed and asked forgiveness of Allah Almighty, requested the
Messenger to ask Allah Almighty also for their forgiveness, then they would
have found Allah Almighty most Forgiving and Merciful. At that time, Allah Almighty
would have surely forgiven their error. Instead of being ashamed and repenting,
they began to refuse their crime and swear that they did not commit any crime
but their intention was good and they went there only for harmony and kindness.
