Lesson
Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him) is going to
answer to the chieftains of His nation: You say to us: We should accept your
religion against our will. It is not possible for us.
Remaining part
of the answer by Prophet Shu-aib
(blessing on Him) has been mentioned in this verse. It is commanded that
Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him)
said: it is not our duty to embrace your religion. It is another thing if Allah
Almighty wills so, otherwise, we will never do so. Our Lord has knowledge of
everything. We have given our matter in charge of Him. We have humbled our head
before His Command.
“Our Lord! We
call these people towards the Straight Path according to Your Order, whereas
they desire to drive us violently on the crooked way. Now the decision is in
Your hand. Decide between both parties of us in such a way: that thing should
be given to such party, which deserves that”.
Even after
hearing the prayer in such eloquent and elegant words from Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him), they did not
wake up and those perverse and obstinate chieftains, who were bent on
infidelity, they said to their people: Listen to us! If we obeyed Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him), this entire ready-made game of ours would be at variance, and we would have to bear a heavy loss.
If power and
authority comes in the hands of selfish people, they try to keep the public under
their control, to crush the well-wishers of common people, for preserving their
influence, becoming blind and deaf similarly. Consequently, the advisers are
saved but the self-interested people are ruined along with the common people.
