8. How (can there be

regard neither ties of kinship nor any pact in respect of you? They satisfy
you with their mouths, while their hearts refuse. And most of them are wrongdoers.

Lesson
‘Iny-yaz-haruu – (if they have the upper hand of you), the origin
of this word is zaharun. Zaharun means “to prevail over someone”. This word
is used also for the back, the loins, the back part, so, for the word “overcoming”
this meaning is suitable too, because sitting on the back of an animal means “to
get an opportunity over it, to get the upper hand”.
‘Illan – (this Arabic word is used for nearness,
relationship, kinship, affinity, connection, kindred, friendship, articles of
agreement etc.)
It is commanded that there is
no form of a treaty of alliance with these idolaters. Until they are under
influence, they make articles of agreement apparently. But when and where they
prevail over you a little, then they regard neither the ties of kinship, nor
friendship and nor consider it necessary to abide by the terms of treaty; which
they made with you. They try their best to molest you without leaving any stone
unturned.
Their hearty enmity blooms and
they grip up their loins for causing trouble by all means. That enmity, malice
and hatred has been filled in their hearts against you which they had from the
first day, and cause of which is not any other than it that they wish to drive
you only according to their way. And they cannot bear it that you choose any
new Way of life, whether that is the best in accordance with the human sense.
Stubbornness has taken place
in their hearts, so they cannot agree to live together with you mutually. In addition,
maximum of them are those people for whom there is no resistance to prevent
them from the evil deeds. Their nature is bad. Ethical standards do not exist
into them. They are unable to distinguish among the good and the bad. They have
ruined their conscience and promoted immorality fearless.
They have sacrificed those Revelations
on their temporary worldly benefits, which have come from God Almighty for the guidance
of human being, and their main object is no other save it that they should
prevent the people from God’s prescribed Way. They have been persisted in their
own words. But the fact is that they have been committing bad whatever they are
doing; and their retribution (punishment) will be according to their wicked
deeds.
