COMMENTARY
|
| 16 These are
those who buy Error for Guidance (thinking that this course of
double-dealing would double up their worldly gains), so (due
to their wearing two faces under one hat) their trade (of this
nature) does not bring (any) profit (to them, except
loss in the end), nor are they guided (in the right path, thus
they will be losers both temporally and spiritually). |
| 17 Their similitude
is like the parable of one (like Muhammad) who (when he
wanted to illumine the world) kindles a fire (Bu. 81:26)
but when it has lit up all around him, Allah takes away their
(own) light (of their eyes, because of their persistent shutting
of the eyes to the light of Islam which has been lit up by Muhammad),
and leaves them in utter darkness, (in the consternation) they
cannot see. |
|
18
(They are as if afflicted with) deafness, dumbness, (and)
blindness (2:7), so that they cannot return (to the
Path).
|
| 19 Or like
(another parable of) a rainstorm (of Divine revelation) from
the heaven, therein are (zones of) darkness (of trials
and tribulations), and thunder (like forceful and astounding
deliverance), and lightning (like brilliant and sparkling guidelines);
they (the weak-hearted hypocrites) press their fingers in
their ears against the thunderclaps for fear of (impending) death
(because of this marvelous revelation); but Allah is ever encompassing
the Unbelievers (so they cannot escape)! |
| 20 The lightning
(is so intense that it) almost snatches away their sight. Every
time it flashes for them (with effective light) they walk therein
(keeping company with the Muslims, thinking that the few flashes of
light are due to their own intelligence); but when the darkness
grows upon them they stand still (thinking that to walk with the
Muslims is as stepping on a mossy stone). And if Allah had willed,
He could surely have taken away their (faculty of) hearing
and their sight (because of their persistence in rejection of
the Divine revelation). Allah is indeed Possessor of power over
all things. |
