Section 313 of 556 • 10 Verses
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُۥٓ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ وَزِيرًا
20:30-33; 26:14; 28:35.
الؔ اس چیز کے لئے بھی آتا ہے جس کا ذکر پہلے ہو چکا ہو یا جس کا خیال دماغ میں ہو۔ اس لئے ہم نے اَلْکِتٰب کا ترجمہ ’’معلوم کتاب‘‘ کیا ہے۔
20:30-33; 26:14; 28:35.
20:30-33; 26:16; 28:35.
Commentary:
The wages of sin is death. Opposition to God’s Prophets has always resulted in discomfiture and destruction of the enemies of truth. The present Surah cites examples of some such Prophets whose people defied them and persecuted them and by their evil deeds drew upon themselves Divine wrath. Pride of place in this connection is given in this Surah to Moses who was the greatest Prophet of Israel. He thought that the great mission with which he was entrusted was beyond his power. So he begged God to give him Aaron, his brother, as his assistant to help him in his great work. Thus Aaron was a subordinate Prophet to Moses. See also 20:30-35.

9:70; 38:13; 50:13-15.
کنوئیں والے لوگوں کے متعلق مفسرین نے بہت اختلاف کیا ہے مگر اس آیت سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ یہ قوم ثمود کے بعد گذری تھی اور بحر محیط نے بھی اسی کی تائید کی ہے کیونکہ اس میں حضرت ابن عباسؓ کا قول لکھا ہے کہ یہ قوم ثمود کا حصہ تھی۔ چونکہ ثمود و عاد کا آخری حصہ تھے اس لئے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ نسل اسماعیلؑ کے عرب میں پھیلنے سے پہلے یہ لوگ گذرے ہیں جب نسل اسماعیلؑ عرب میں پھیل گئی تو پھر یہ لوگ شمال کی طرف فلسطین کی جانب چلے گئے جیسا کہ قدیم آثار سے پتہ لگتا ہے (دیکھئے ’’العرب قبل الاسلام‘‘ مصنفہ جرجی زیدان)
9:70; 38:13; 50:13-15.
Some commentators are of the view that Rass was a town in Yamamah where one of the tribes of Thamud resided. According to others, these people were so called because they threw their Prophet into a well. They were the remnants of Thamud.
9:70; 38:13; 50:13-15.
Important Words:
اصحاب الرس (People of the Well). They say رس البئر i.e. he dug the well. رس المیت means, he buried the dead body. رس بینھمmeans, he effected reconciliation between them. رس means, prelude, beginning; first symptoms of an illness or of love; mine; an old well; according to some the name of a valley (Lane & Aqrab). اصحاب الرس, therefore signifies, the People of the Well; the dwellers of a valley; a people a few of whose signs and marks remain after these have been gradually obliterated.

وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا
Important Words:
تبرنا تتبیرا (We utterly destroyed) is the transitive form of تبر (tabira) which means, he became destroyed. تبرہ (tabbarahu) means, he destroyed him; broke him into pieces annihilated him (Lane).
Commentary:
The truth is writ large on the face of history that opposition to God’s Prophets has invariably led to the destruction of those who oppose them. There had never lived a Prophet who was not opposed and persecuted and opposition to whose mission did not result in the ruin of his persecutors. Yet such is the tragedy of human affairs that opponents of the Prophets of God never benefit from the fate of their predecessors. In their own time every people to whom a Divine Messenger was sent traversed the same road which had led to ruin those who had opposed their Prophets before them. At first the people of the Holy Prophet also opposed and persecuted him and did not benefit from the example of the opponents of the former Prophets and consequently a part of them met the fate of their counterparts.

وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَى ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِىٓ أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ ٱلسَّوْءِ ۚ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا۟ يَرَوْنَهَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ نُشُورًا

یعنی لوط علیہ السلام کی قوم۔
قرآن کریم میں اس جگہ بَلْ کا لفظ ہے۔ جس کے معنے ’’بلکہ‘‘ کے بھی ہیں۔ اور ’’اظہار حقیقت‘‘ کے بھی۔ اس لئے ہم نے اس جگہ ’’بلکہ‘‘ ترجمہ نہیں کیا صرف ’’حقیقت یہ ہے‘‘ کے الفاظ لکھے ہیں۔
7:85; 27:59.
Commentary:
The reference in the word "the town" may be to Sodom, the town of Lot, which was situated on the way from Arabia to Syria.
نشور (to be raised) may also signify the hour of the triumph of Islam. The Quraish did not have the remotest idea that the cause of the Holy Prophet would or could ever triumph.

Commentary:
In view of the extreme weakness and poverty of the Holy Prophet’s circumstances, the Quraish would jeeringly say, "Could not Allah find a better man to whom to entrust His mission?" The same objection of the Holy Prophet’s opponents has been mentioned elsewhere in the Quran in another form, viz. "why was not the Quran revealed to a man of some importance in the two towns?" (43:32).

أَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا

Commentary:
It is not only the worship of idols of wood and stone and those in the form of human beings that is condemned here. In fact it is his own desires, fancies and pre-conceived ideas, more than anything else, that man adores and it is these things that stand in the way of his accepting the truth. Intellectually man may have advanced far enough so as not to bow before stones and stars but he has not outgrown the worship of his false ideals, prejudices and pre-conceived ideas. It is these idols that lie enthroned in man’s heart whose worship is condemned here.

أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

It is his own desires, fancies and preconceived ideas, more than anything else, that man generally adores and it is these that stand in the way of his accepting the truth. Intellectually man may have advanced far enough so as not to bow before stones and stars, but he has not outgrown the worship of his false ideals, prejudices and preconceived ideas. It is these idols that lie enthroned in his heart whose worship is condemned here. When instead of making use of his God-given faculties of intellect and hearing, which should help man to recognise and realize truth, he chooses to grope in darkness, he comes down to the level of cattle, even lower than that, because cattle are not given the gift of discretion and discrimination while man is.
7:180.
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that when in spite of his being endowed with the faculties of intellect and hearing which should help him to recognize and realize truth, man refuses to make proper use of these God-given faculties to see light, and instead chooses to grope in darkness, he comes down to the level of cattle, even lower than that, because cattle are not given the gift of discretion and discrimination while man is.
The verse also implies an allusion to the great reformation brought about by the Holy Prophet in the lives of his people. They were no better than animals and beasts. They worshipped images and held foolish and superstitious ideas. They gambled and drank and indulged in extreme sexual excesses and depleted and destroyed their manhood by fighting for generations about trivialities. They had no idea of moral virtues or at best had a very low concept of them and did not know economics or statecraft. Such were the people among whom the Holy Prophet Muhammad was raised and history bears witness to the fact that he wrought a wonderful reformation among them. From the dregs of humanity they rose to be its cream.
