Ayat 31. Hunafâ'
Lillâh (i.e. to worship none but Allah), not associating partners (in
worship, etc.) unto Him and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he
had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown
him to a far off place.
Ayat 32. Thus it is [what has been mentioned in the
above said Verses (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) is an obligation that mankind owes to
Allah]. And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the
piety of the heart.
[Tafseer] Being true in faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to
Him: if anyone assigns partners to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and
been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and
thrown him into a far- distant place. A parable full of meaning. The man who
falls from the worship of the One True God. is like a man who falls from heaven.
His being taken up with false objects of worship is like the falling man being
picked up in the air by birds of prey. But the false objects of worship cannot
hold him permanently in their grip. A fierce blast of wind-the Wrath of
Allah-comes and snatches him away and throws him into a place far, far away from
any place he could have imagined-into the hell of those who defied
Allah. Such (is his state): and whoever holds in honour the Symbols of
Allah, (in the sacrifice of animals), such (honour) should come truly from piety
of heart. Sha'a'ir, symbols, signs, marks by which something is known to
belong to some particular body of men, such as flags. In 2:158 the word was
applied to Safa and Marwah. Here it seems to be applied to the rites of
sacrifice. Such sacrifice is symbolic: it should betoken dedication and piety of
heart.
Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him)
said: I heard the Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) saying, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: `O son of Adam! I shall go
on forgiving you so long as you pray to Me and aspire for My forgiveness
whatever may be your sins. O son of Adam! I do not care even if your sins should
pile up to the sky and should you beg pardon of Me, I would forgive you. O son
of Adam! If you come to Me with an earthfull of sins and meet Me, not
associating anything with Me in worship, I will certainly grant you as much
pardon as will fill the earth.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
3540].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Hajj Ayat 31."Hunafâ' Lillâh (i.e. to
worship none but Allah), not associating partners" In
this narration, there is good news for the sinners who do not stick to sins but
rather repent and ask forgiveness from Allah. However numerous their sins may
be, Allah will forgive all their sins. But there is a condition which they
should fulfill, namely that they do not persist in what wrong they have done
(3:135), as with persistence and repeatedly committing the sin, the act of
seeking forgiveness becomes a futile act.
