১৬. তারা তাদের শপথকে ঢাল করে রেখেছেন,
অতঃপর তারা আল্লাহর পথ থেকে মানুষকে বাধা প্রদান করে।
অতএব,
তাদের জন্য রয়েছে অপমানজনক শাস্তি।
Ayat 16. They
have made their oaths a screen (for their evil actions). Thus they
hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, so they shall have a humiliating
torment.
Tafseer of Surah Al- Mujadilah Ayat 16. They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct (men)(5357) from the Path of Allah. therefore shall they have a humiliating Penalty. A false man, by swearing that he is true, makes his falsehood all the more heinous. He stands in the way of other people accepting Truth. He gives a handle to the cynics and the sceptics.
Hazrat Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH)
said, "Everyone who breaks a covenant will have a flag by his buttocks
on the Day of Resurrection. It will be raised higher according to the
nature of his breach. Behold, there will be no greater a sin with
respect to breaking the covenant than that of a ruler who breaks his
covenant with the Muslim masses.'' [Muslim Book 04, Chapter 19, Hadith # 4903].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mujadilah Ayat 16. They
have made their oaths a screen (for their evil actions). Thus they
hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, so they shall have a humiliating
torment. This
Hadith clearly shows that breach of covenant is forbidden in Islam,
especially on the part of a ruler because (a) he is in a position to
honour his covenant, and (b) his evil can affect the whole Muslim
community. It was a custom in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance in
Arabia to fix flags on poles for those who were guilty of breach of oath
to humiliate and defame them. Almighty Allah has mentioned the
punishment of flags on the Day of Resurrection for such people who break
their covenant so that people can easily understand its nature. What a
humiliation that will be!
*
Placing the flag by his bottom signifies humiliation and disgrace
because flags are usually carried in front of the bearer not behind.
