Influence and consequence of Similitudes (L–48)

فَأَمَّا الَّذينَ آمَنوا فَيَعلَمونَ أَنَّهُ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّهِم ۖ وَأَمَّا الَّذينَ كَفَروا فَيَقولونَ ماذا أَرادَ اللَّهُ بِهٰذا مَثَلًا ۘ26b.

26b.  Fa-‘ammallaziina ‘aamanuu fa-ya’-lamuuna ‘annahul-Haqqu mir-Rabbihim. Wa ‘ammal-laziina kafaruu fayaquuluuna maazaaa-’araa-dAllaahu bihaa-zaa masa-laa.

26b.  Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; and those who disbelieve say: What does Allah wish (to teach) by such a similitude?

 For causing the people to understand, Allaah Almighty describes by giving similitude. The aim of these examples is that the people should understand the Commandments of God Almighty clearly, not that they should begin absurd reasoning and opposing.

It has been explained in this lesson that the Believers take this example as true and proper explainer and consider it right from God. But the Infidels begin to deride on these examples and they ask as satire that what God Almighty means by giving these kinds of resemblances?

The Believers have full faith in it that Allaah Almighty is Worshipped and Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) is His True Messenger. They consider that their first duty is to obey the Commands of God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), and act upon them. They believe in Their Sayings with true heart. Therefore, if God Almighty mentions any similitude, they try to understand its true object. They don’t care that the similitude is of what sort itself? Whether is it customary or have some importance? Whether any superior thing has been described in it or inferior? Moreover, they think about its true purpose and learn from it.

The Infidels deny Allaah Almighty and disbelieve in His Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). They don’t have any interest in finding the Just. They just keep watching the secrets in the verses; either to find out faults or criticize unnecessarily. So, when Allaah Almighty describes any likeness for their consideration, then in spite of trying to understand its true meanings, they begin to raise unreasonable questions regarding it and ask from the Believers as satire: What does God desire by giving such kind of similitude?

In this verse, there is a lesson that the Believers and the people who have good moral character are those; who think about the similitude; explained by Allaah Almighty, try to understand it and give up irregular debate.
