Section 322 of 556 • 18 Verses
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
7:66, 67.
قرآن کریم نے باربار ایک رسول کے انکار کو سب رسولوں کا انکار قرار دیا ہے جس سے اس طرف اشارہ کیا گیا ہے کہ سب رسول ایک منہاج نبوت کے مطابق آتے ہیں پس جب منہاج نبوت کی موجودگی میں ایک رسول کا انکار کیا جائے تو اس سے نتیجہ نکلتا ہے کہ اگر منکر پہلے کسی رسول کے وقت میں ہوتا تو وہ اس کا بھی انکار کرتا۔ کیونکہ جو دلائل اس کی صداقت کے تھے وہی دلائل اس موجودہ رسول کی صداقت کے ہیں۔
7:66, 67.
7:66-67.
Commentary:
For a more detailed note on ‘Ad see 11:51. Briefly, ‘Ad was not the name of a single but of a group of tribes whose different sections rose to power at different times. The name ‘Ad is found in ancient books of geography which shows that a people bearing this name did indeed live in the past. The tribe has also been called ‘Adi Iram in the Quran, (89:8). The Quran has also mentioned the following facts about this tribe: (1) They built lofty buildings and no other people in Arabia attained to that height of power to which they had attained (89:9). (2) They lived immediately after Noah. (3) They built monuments on elevated places (26:129) of which the ruins still exist in Arabia. (4) The territory in which these people lived was called Ahqaf (46:22) which literally means meandering and zigzag sandhills. (5) They were destroyed by a violent wind which continued to blow over their territory consecutively for seven days, burying their chief cities under heaps of sand and dust (69:7-8). (6) The history of these people has now become wrapped in obscurity (46:26).

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
This, the preceding and the following verse show that the Adites were a powerful and cultured people. They had made great progress in science in their time. They built fortresses, palatial buildings and great reservoirs. They had their summer residences, their factories and mechanical works. They were specially advanced in architecture. They invented new weapons and implements of war and erected great monuments. In short, like the present-day nations of the West, they possessed all the complicated paraphernalia of a highly advanced civilisation. They made great strides in knowledge but they consigned to oblivion the one supreme lesson of history, viz. that nations derive their real strength not from material things but from high ideals and good morals. As they became morally corrupt and spiritually depraved and turned a deaf ear to the warnings of their Prophet to mend their ways, they fell a victim to that terrible doom which is the inevitable lot of those who ignore Divine warning. See {1323}.
Important Words:
مصانع (palaces) is the plural of مصنعة which is derived from صنع . They say صنع الشیء i.e. he made, wrought, constructed or manufactured the thing or he made it skilfully or well. مصانع means, a kind of tanks or reservoirs for collecting rainwater. The word also means towns, fortresses or palaces. They say ھو من اھل المصانع i.e. he is of the people of the towns. It also signifies factories and great chemical works (Lane & Aqrab).

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ
جَبَّار کا لفظ جب اللہ تعالیٰ کے لئے استعمال ہو تو اس کے معنے مصلح کے ہوتے ہیں لیکن جب انسانوں کے لئے استعمال ہو تو اس کے معنے دوسرے کو نیچے گرا کر آپ ترقی کرنے کے ہوتے ہیں (مفردات) پس ہم نے ترجمہ ’’ظالم‘‘ کا کیا ہے۔
Commentary:
This verse shows that the Adites were a highly powerful people of the time. They had developed imperialistic tendencies and had sought to subjugate weaker communities and destroy their cultures. This seems to be the significance of the words, "And when you lay hands upon anyone, you lay hands as tyrants."

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Commentary:
The Adites are told in the verse that God has bestowed on them material blessings and benefits, that they might know that He is the real Source of all power and that they should be on their guard against defying His commandments.

وَجَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
بحرِ محیط نے بھی یہی معنے کیے ہیں اور لکھا ہے کہ اس سے یہ مرادنہیں کہ تیری جیسی نصیحتیں پہلے لوگ بھی کرتے تھے بلکہ یہ مقصود ہے کہ جن باتوں سے ُتو ہم کو روکتا ہے‘ وہی باتیں پہلے لوگ بھی کرتے تھے (دیکھئے بحر محیط مصنّفہ علّامہ ابوحیّان جلد۷ ص۳۴) اگر وہ محفوظ رہے تو ہم کیوں نہ رہیں گے۔
Khuluq means, habit or second nature; custom or manner; religion; a lie (Lane).
Important Words:
خلق (habit) is derived from خلق (khalaqa). خلقه means, he measured it or he determined its measure or proportion; he fashioned or planned it; He (God) created it or brought it into existence; he forged or fabricated a story or a lie, etc. They say صار ذالک له خلقا (khulqan) i.e. that became to him a second nature, a habit. خلق (khulq) means, habit or second nature or custom or manner; religion; a lie (Lane & Aqrab). See also 3:50.
Commentary:
This and the preceding verse show that the people of Hud treated all his admonitions and warnings with extreme contempt. Taking خلق (khulq) in the sense of 'habit' the people of ‘Ad are represented as saying to him: "There have been so-called Prophets before who also preached a so-called Divine Message and gave warning of punishment to disbelievers. It was their habit to do so. But punishment never came. So this time also there is going to be no punishment." Taking the word in the sense of 'religion' the verse would mean, "the religion which is being presented to us is nothing new. It is an old, old story which has been repeated from time immemorial" (6:26). Taking it in the sense of 'a lie' the verse would signify: "All what you say is but a pure fabrication and a lie and we are not going to be punished for rejecting a forgery."
