117. They invoke in His stead only females; they
pray to none else than Satan, a rebel-
118, whom Allah cursed, and he said; Surely I
will take of Thy bondmen an appointed portion-

surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them so that
they will cut the cattles’ ears-

Lesson
Maf-ruuzaa – {appointed (portion)}, it is
from Farz, which means ‘to fix, to
appoint and to establish’. Here aim from maf-ruuz is ‘appointed, fixed’.
La-‘umanni-yan – (Surely I will arouse desires,
put in hopes), it has been derived from the word manni-yah which means ‘wish, desire and longing’.
La-yu-batti-kunna - (they will cut), this word has been made from the
word batak, which means ‘to cut’.
‘An-‘aamun – (the cattle),
it is from na-‘ama, which means ‘a
beast’, that is to say; the quadruped (animals), which are brought up for
working, like camel, ox, cow and horse etc.
Allaah Almighty is indicating the mankind to observe the wisdom of those
people, who by turning from Him, seek support of stones, to which they have
enominated like females. It is the last point of limit of their stupidity that
they call such things and supplicate from them. Actually they have taken in the
deception of Satan and in the screen of those things; they don’t call someone else
but Satan. The reality of Satan is, that he (disobedient) has turned his face
from the Command of Allaah Almighty
and He has driven him out from His Royal Court. When Allaah Almighty determined the Devil as outcast, cursed and
rejected, then Satan said, “Now I shall remain in trying my best to mislead the
children of Aadam (peace be upon Him)
from Your Prescribed Way (the Straight Way), by penetrating in to them, to whom
I could control. They will pay gifts and oblations of my name; they will cut
the ears of quadruped animals like camels, oxen, cows and horses etc. and set
them at their liberty”.
