BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allaah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful

70.
We made it covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We sent
unto them Messengers. As often as a Messenger came unto them with that which
their souls desired not (they became rebellious); some (of them) they denied
and some they slew.
71.
They thought no harm would come of it, so they were willfully blind
and deaf; and afterward Allaah
turned (in mercy) toward them. Now (even after that) are many of them willfully
blind and deaf. And Allaah is Seer
of what they do.

Lesson
The
mankind was guided towards the path of goodness and improvement in the previous
verse and was told clearly that you cannot gain your end by caste, religious
title or active claims. These all affairs are useless. It is the decision of
Islam that there is only one path for that person, who wants to get rid of fear
and grief.
Allaah Almighty has given a clue openly about that
fundamental weakness, which carries anyone toward a sin, and practices of the
Children of Israel have been described as its example, that the Messengers
(peace be upon Them) of Allaah
Almighty came to them and brought His Commands. They (the Jews) were prevented
from unreasonable desires through these Commands, but they had formed their
habit to do that, what they wished, whether after that they suffer.
Experience
of the mankind declares the same that when anyone falls upon evil days, he/she
begins to fulfill personal desires like insane. So if you observe any person or
nation has been engaged in grazing like cattle, rending like ravenous and
fulfilling lust like animals, imagine now! Any vigorous and big misfortune is
going to be fallen upon their heads.
The
Children of Israel did never listen to the Messengers (peace be upon Them). Many
of Them were evaded and falsified, but those Messengers (peace be upon Them),
who continued carrying their Message to the Jews, They were slaughtered, for
instance; Prophets Zachariah and Yahiya
(John) etc. (peace be upon Them). They did all of these acts because they had been
entangled in devilish desires. These are the cursed wishes, which prevent the
human being from doing good deeds.
It
was told earlier that there are three necessary matters for the deliverance of human
being:
1.
Believe in Allaah Almighty. If one will believe in Him, it is sure that he/she shall recognise His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
2.
Believe in the Day of the
Resurrection.
3.
Do well.
The person, who will act upon
these three deeds, will be able to obtain deliverance.
Allaah Almighty made it covenant of old with the Children of Israel. But they
forgot this covenant by degrees and disobeyed Allaah Almighty. An open sign of which is that they adjudged about
His Messengers that they (peace be upon Them) were liars and many of Them were
slain by them. Condition of their belief and good works has been known from it.
If they were believers then they would not have disobeyed Allaah Almighty, and if they were well-doers then they would not
have slain the Messengers (peace be upon Them) of Allaah Almighty.
It has been described in this
verse that instead of believing in the Day of Resurrection and confuting the
punishment against bad deeds, they, on the contrary, fixed in their hearts this
thought, “Do whatever you wish, you will be OK”. Therefore, they left listening
to the well doers and became willfully blind and deaf. Allaah Almighty imposed upon them worldly punishment, Bukht Nasar attacked, ruined their
country and imprisoning them brought Babel City. When they got away from this
misfortune painfully, they repented. Allaah
Almighty accepted their supplication but after a few days, their new generation
adopted the same behavior and involved in evils with the cession of mind. And then
again they were willfully blind and deaf. It is true that the desires of a
mankind make him willfully blind and deaf. But you should not consider that you
will never be seized due to evil deeds. You can be willfully blind but Allaah Almighty is observing your all
motions. Where will you go being saved from His Sight?
