Lesson

It was narrated in the previous verse that some Muslims used to pray from Allah Almighty for forgiveness of their idolater parents and relatives. They were prevented from it by saying that “the forgiveness is only for them who believe in Allah Almighty, and are ready to sacrifice their lives and wealth for obedience of His commandment”.

The idolaters do not believe in Allah Almighty. Therefore, they can never be forgiven. After the revelation of that verse, some Muslims thought, “would those people be punished who prayed for forgiveness of the idolaters before the revelation of that verse? They have been replied particularly in this verse.

It is commanded that only those people will be punished who went astray. And near Allah Almighty, astray are such people who disobey any commandment after its revelation. That person will not be called to account who prayed for forgiveness of idolaters before the revelation of the commandment.

Its formula and established order is that those people who believed and began to follow the teachings of Islam, they will be considered astray at such time when clear commandment has been revealed that in future they should not commit such and such work, but even then; one disobeys intentionally.

Therefore, those people who prayed for forgiveness of idolaters before the revelation if this verse, they will not be called to account due to this act. They will be called to account; who will do so after prevention.

The Sovereign and God of the heavens and the earth is One, Allah Almighty. Everything of the universe is under His Command and Jurisdiction. Whosoever will disobey His commandment, none is able to save him from His wrath and punishment.

Understand it thoroughly that there is no protecting friend of you instead of Allah Almighty nor any helper. Therefore, you should stand up tying your hands before Him. He only will be Merciful on the obedient, and will punish to the disobedient.
