يُرْسَلُ عَلَيْكُمَا شُوَاظٌ مِّن نَّارٍ وَنُحَاسٌ فَلَا تَنتَصِرَانِ
这节经文指两个敌对阵营可能遭到毁灭最大而最可怕的惩罚。仿佛世界正站在可怕的大火边缘, 在大火的烈焰中全人类的文明受到威胁。
The verse points to the most destructive and dreadful punishment which might overtake the two hostile camps. The world seems to stand on the brink of a terrible conflagration which threatens to consume in its flames the entire human civilization.
Important Words:
شواظ (flame) is derived from شاظ. They say شاظ بفلان i.e. he abused such a one and accused him. شاظ الغضب means, he became excited; his anger became enkindled. شواظ means, flame or fire without smoke; heat of fire or sun; flame of fire; thirst or vehement thirst (Lane & Aqrab).
نحاس (smoke) is derived from نحس. They say أنحست النار i.e. the fire had much smoke. نحاس means, molten copper; fire; sparks that fall from brass or iron when it is beaten with the hammer; smoke; smoke in which there is no flame. (Lane, Aqrab & Mufradat).
Commentary:
The verse points to the most destructive and dreadful punishment that might overtake the two hostile camps, if they did not desist from defying Divine commandments. God’s wrath has become excited for "what man has wrought with his hands" (30:42), and the world seems to stand on the brink of a terrible conflagration which threatens to consume in its flames the entire human civilization and to make life extinct. Man had a foretaste of Divine punishment in the last two World Wars but what is yet in store for him staggers imagination. The verse gives a clear picture of the coming catastrophe in the form of nuclear and cosmic horrors. The words فلا تنتصران signify that the two hostile camps will not be able to escape God’s punishment, try as they might.
