49.
So judge between them by that which Allaah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of
them lest they seduce Thee from some part of that which Allaah hath revealed unto Thee. And if they turn away, then know
that Allaah’s Will is to smite them
for some sin of theirs. Lo! many of mankind are evil-livers.

Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan) ignorance that they are

Lesson
Yafti-nuuka – (they seduce you), it is from fitnah, which means “to mislead someone
by seducing”. It aims that you should beware from their desires lest they mislead
you towards the deviation”.
O Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him)! You are ordered that if the people of
different sects (religions) bring their disputes unto you for judgment, you
should not judge as per their wishes, but you should judge by that which Allaah Almighty has
revealed upon you i.e. Holy Qur’aan. These
people are very wicked. They will offer you a heavy amount of bribes for this
purpose and flatter by various sorts, so that you judge according to their will,
being seduced by them, and they may fulfill their wishes by putting the
responsibility on you (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him).
In fact they offered a very heavy
bribe that “If you will cause to succeed us in judgment, then we shall embrace
Islam”. It is very difficult for a worldly leader to reject this offer, while
his party and power can increase so much in a very short duration, which may be
more than his opinion and thought. It can be only a Messenger (peace be upon
Him), who takes care of justice, whether his group decreases very much.
Then it is commanded that if they turn away from you after observing that their credit is ruining,
then know that their ill-luck has menaced them and shortly they would be
punished for some sin of theirs.
Faasi-quun – (the evil-livers, the
disobedient), it is plural of faasiq,
which has been derived from fisq. Fisq
means “to disobey, not to care the law, to act like immoral”. Jaahi-liyyati –
it is the time, in which no religion was admitted and the people used to take
it as their right to suppress the weak on the basis of their power. Actual meaning
of Jaahi-liyyat
is “ignorance” and it is also called “jahal”. The difference between them is that the word Jaahi-liyyat has
vast meanings i.e. such a condition, in which the rule of personal desires is
followed instead of any law. Such era was before Islam, so, that period is called
Jaahi-liyyati
– “the time of (pagan) ignorance”.
It has been described that in fact
maximum people are such, who wish to dwell free from all kinds of restrictions.
Their cordial desire is that there should be no any such person, who prevents
them from their any kind of deed. And they have power to do as they wish. By establishing
a powerful group, they keep others under their own control and obedience, so
that they are addicted to pleasure and nobody may argue them. These people are
actually animals in the form of mankind. They desire paternal and maternal
freedom like animals, and wild law as “Might is Right”.
Tell them, “It was then, when the
human beings had forgotten the entire rules and regulations due to their
wishes, and had ran far away from their reality i.e. humanity”. They know who
study the history, about the condition of two biggest and famous emperors of
Iran and Rome before Islam. The powerful people had suppressed the weak as the
powerful were like lions and the weak were like cow, ox, sheep and goat etc. The
rulers used to command their public like slaves, even that they caused to pull their
carts like animals.
Allaah Almighty commands, “Ask them - Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan)
ignorance that you are seeking now a day? Now there is no darkness like a night.
A Light of the Religion has been revealed. The entire Laws of Divine has been
described by the Messenger of Allaah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). And it is clear that there is
no command of anyone acceptable by the Believers before the Command of Allaah Almighty. If those people, who are
disbelievers, desire to obey someone else or their own wishes, then they will
be punished by Allaah Almighty very
soon due to their evil deeds and disbelief.
