৩৪. সমান নয় ভাল ও মন্দ। জওয়াবে তাই বলুন যা উৎকৃষ্ট। তখন দেখবেন আপনার সাথে যে ব্যক্তির শুত্রুতা রয়েছে,
সে যেন অন্তরঙ্গ বন্ধু।
৩৫. এ চরিত্র তারাই লাভ করে,
যারা সবর করে এবং এ চরিত্রের অধিকারী তারাই হয়,
যারা অত্যন্ত ভাগ্যবান।
Ayat 34. The
good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one
which is better (i.e. Allah ordered the faithful believers to be patient
at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly), then
verily! he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.
Ayat 35. But
none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient,
and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of the
happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and in this world of a high
moral character).
Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 34 and 35. Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and you was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate! You do not return good for evil, for there is no equality or comparison between the two. You repel or destroy evil with something which is far better, just as an antidote is better than poison. You foil hatred with love. You repel ignorance with knowledge, folly and wickedness with the friendly message of Revelation. The man who was in the bondage of sin, you not only liberate from sin, but make him your greatest friend and helper in the cause of Allah! Such is the alchemy of the Word of Allah! (Cf. 23:96, 28:54, and 42:40).
Ayat 35. And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but persons of the greatest good fortune. The moral standard referred to in the last verse can only be reached by the exercise of the highest patience and self-restraint All sorts of human weaknesses and counsels of pseudo-wisdom and "self-respect" will keep breaking in, but resist them as suggestions of Evil (see next verse). If you reach anywhere near that high standard, you will be indeed most fortunate in a spiritual sense, for Allah's Revelation will have made you great and free.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "If
anyone calls others to follow right guidance, his reward will be
equivalent to those who follow him (in righteousness) without their
reward being diminished in any respect, and if anyone invites others to
follow error, the sin, will be equivalent to that of the people who
follow him (in sinfulness) without their sins being diminished in any
respect". [Muslim Book # 06, Chapter 34, Hadith # 6470].
