[53] Surah An-Najm [The Star]: Ayat 033-037


৩৩. আপনি কি তাকে দেখেছেন, যে মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়
৩৪. এবং দেয় সামান্যই ও পাষাণ হয়ে যায়
৩৫. তার কাছে কি অদৃশ্যের জ্ঞান আছে যে, সে দেখে
৩৬. তাকে কি জানানো হয়নি যা আছে মূসার কিতাবে
৩৭. এবং ইব্রাহীমের কিতাবে, যে তার দায়িত্ব পালন করেছিল?    

Ayat 33. Did you observe him who turned away (from Islam).
Ayat 34. And gave a little, then stopped (giving charity)?
Ayat 35. Is with him the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees?
Ayat 36. Or is he not informed with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Musa (Moses),
Ayat 37. And of Ibrahim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allah ordered him to do or convey),

Tafseer of Surah An-Najm (The Star) Ayat 33 to 37. See thou one who turns back, The particular reference in this passage, according to Baydawi is to Al Walid ibn al Mughirah, who bargained with a Quraysh Pagan for a certain sum if the latter would take upon himself the sins of Al Walid. He paid a part of the sum but withheld the rest. The general application that concerns us is threefold: (1) if we accept Islam, we must accept it whole-heartedly and not look back to Pagan superstitions; (2) we cannot play fast and loose with our promises and (3) no man can bargain about spiritual matters for he cannot see what his end will be unless he follows the law of Allah, which is the law of righteousness. 34. Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 35. What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 'So that he can see what will happen in the Hereafter': for no bargains can be struck about matters unknown. 36. Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the books of Moses. Books of Moses: apparendy not the Pentateuch, in the Tawrah, but some other book or books now lost. For example, the Book of the Wars of Jehovah is referred to in the Old Testament (Num. 21:14 ) but is now lost. The present Pentateuch has no clear message at all of a Life to come. 37. And of Abraham PBUH who fulfilled his engagements? 1 No original Book of Abraham is now extant. But a book called "The Testament of Abraham" has come down to us which seems to be a Greek translation of a Hebrew original. 87:19, where the Books of Moses and Abraham are again mentioned together. One of the titles of Abraham is Hanif, the True in Faith: Cf. 16:120. 

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said,  "Allah has written the very portion of Zina which a man will indulge in. There will be no escape from it. The Zina of the eye is the (lustful) look, the Zina of the ears is the listening (to voluptuous songs or talk), the Zina of the tongue is (the licentious) speech, the Zina of the hand is the (lustful) grip, the Zina of the feet is the walking (to the place where he intends to commit Zina), the heart yearns and desires and the private parts approve all that or disapprove it.''  [Muslim Book 33, Chapter 05, Hadith # 6422]

Lesson : Seeing, listening, walking, etc., are means of committing the sin of fornication and adultery, but they have been termed so metaphorically so that every Muslim saves himself from them. If he does not try to save himself from them, his desires will find support from the private parts of his body; that is, he will incline to immoral acts. If he keeps himself away from the means of fornication and adultery, his private parts will crush his desires, that is to say he will be saved from immoral acts. This is the reason it is said that one should avoid glances, smiles, salutation, conversation, promises and then meetings which occur by stages on one's way to fornication and adultery.
