Ayat
60. That is so. And
whoever has retaliated with the like of that which he was made to suffer, and
then has again been wronged, Allah will surely help him. Verily! Allah indeed is
Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.
Ayat 61. That is because Allah merges the night
into the day, and He merges the day into the night. And verily, Allah is
All-Hearer, All-Seer.
Ayat 62. That is because Allah is the Truth
(the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him),
and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Batil
(falsehood) And verily, Allah He is the Most High, the Most Great.
[Tafseer] That (is so). And if one has retaliated to
no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon
inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and
forgives (again and again). Ordinarily Muslims are enjoined
to bear injuries with patience and return good for evil (23:96). But there are
occasions when human feelings get the better of our wise resolutions, or when,
in a state of conflict or war, we return "as good as we get ". In that case our
retaliation is permissible, provided the injury we inflict is not greater than
that we receive. After such retaliation, we are even, but if the other side
again acts aggressively and goes beyond all bounds in attacking us, we are
entitled to protection from Allah in spite of all our faults; for Allah is One
that blots out our sins, and forgives again and again. Ayat 61. That is because Allah merges night into day,
and He merges day into night, and verily it is Allah Who hears and sees (all
things). To some it may appear strange or even
irreconcilable that Allah should be both Merciful and Just: that He should both
protect His devotees and yet ask for their self-sacrifice; that he should
command them to return good for evil, and yet permit retaliation under certain
restrictions. But such thoughts are shortsighted. Do they not see many
inconsistencies in all Life, all Nature, and all Creation? Why, even in such
simple phenomena as Night and Day, the one merges into the other, and no
one can tell when precisely the one begins and the other ends. Yet we can see in
a rough sort of way that the one gives rest and the other activity, that the one
reveals the beauties of the starry heavens and the other the splendor of the
sun. In countless ways we can see there the wisdom and the fine artistry of
Allah. And there are subtle nuances and merging in nature that our intelligence
can hardly penetrate. Now human life and human relations are far more
complicated, and it is Allah alone Who can see all the subtle distinctions and
hear the cries of all His creatures,
in a world which Tennyson described as "red in tooth and claw
" Ayat 62. That is because Allah - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom
they invoke,- they are but vain Falsehood: verily Allah is He, Most High, Most
Great. The emphatic construction calls attention to the
fact that Allah is the only abiding Reality. All else is like shadows that will
pass away above Our vain imaginings, groundless doubts,
foolish subtleties, and false worship should all give place to trust and
faith in the one and only Reality.
Hazrat Abu
Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "May he be miserable, the
worshipper of the dinar and dirham, and the worshipper of the striped silk
cloak. If he is given anything, he is satisfied; but if not, he is
unsatisfied".".
[Al-Bukhari Book 04, Chapter 52, Hadith #
137]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Hajj Ayat 62."Allah is the Truth (the
only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and
what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Batil (falsehood)
" This Hadith expose person who prefers worldly things
over life hereafter. "A slave of dinar and dirham and
silk cloaks (clothes)" here means a person who prefers these things to the
Divine injunctions and commands and strives day and night to amass worldly
goods. Instead of worshipping Allah, he worships such things and is thus guilty
of worship of others besides Allah, a condition which causes his ruin.
