Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation of Sura Hud Section 10 : Exhortation To Shun Evil Commentary : Verse 110 Everybody's action shall be returned to him in full - Evil shall have an evil consequence hence shun it - The word of Allah is fulfilled, hence the Jinn and men shall be punished - Admonition and Reminder in the history preceding Apostles of Allah - Patience and good deeds and waiting for the End enjoined.

(110) وَ لَقَدْ آتَيْنا مُوسَى الْكِتابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فيهِ وَ لَوْ لا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفي‏ شَكٍّ مِنْهُ مُريبٍ " And We certainly gave Moses the Book, then variance was(created)in it, and had not a Word gone forth before from your Lord, the matter would have been decided between them: but they are in grave doubt concerning it.

" Commentary : To console the Prophet(p.b.u.h.) , the Qur'an adds that if his people raised objections and fabricated pretexts concerning the Qur'an, he should not worry, for Allah had also provided Moses with a Celestial Book(the Torah)and it became then an object for their differences, some accepted it while others rejected it.

The verse says: " And We certainly gave Moses the Book, then variance was(created)in it, ..." Allah is not hasty in punishing His enemies; it is for the sake of expediency and pragmatism in their education which requires such a course of action.

And if pragmatism in such a case did not allow for it, and the program which Allah had preordained for the Prophet in this respect did not require further delays, judgment would have been passed upon them and the punishment would have been inflicted upon them. Nevertheless, they had not yet believed in the Truth, everything about which they entertained with suspicion and viewed with pessimism. The verse continues saying: "...

and had not a Word gone forth before from your Lord, the matter would have been decided between them: but they are in grave doubt concerning it. " Commentary : Verse 111 (111) وَ إِنَّ كُلاًّ لَمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمالَهُمْ إِنَّهُ بِما يَعْمَلُونَ خَبيرٌ "And certainly, to all will your Lord recompense them their deeds in full; verily He is aware of what they do.

" Commentary : In stressing the matter further, the Qur'an adds in this verse that Allah will remunerate both groups, the faithful as well as the idol worshippers, without any failing or shortcoming, in lieu of the kind of conduct they had been engaged in.
