Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary (the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Three) How Do They Escape From the Truth (verse No. 41 - 44) How Do They Escape From the Truth (verse No.

41 - 44)) The first verse here refers to the obstinacy of some of the polytheists and idolaters, that inspite of all that evidences and miracles that were shown to them, they continued with their denial rejection:ِ ``We have used various ways of explaining matter in this Qura"n, and it increased them nothing except aversion!'' Matters have been explained in Qura"n in all aspects of literature, through speech, story, parable, and figure and fact, but it increased them aversion!

Belief in the life to come, and piety, are the keys of the apprehension of God's language in Qura"n. Here one may ask; if the various methods and styles of saying in Qura"n has given a reverse result, what is then the result of saying so? Evidently Qura"n is not sent to a certain group of people, or to certain period of time. It rather is a BOOK sent down to guide people of all ages and all places up to the Resurrection Day.

True that all the people are the same KIND, and Mankind; but they are not all the same [ 558 ] in the spiritual and physical character. There are many people throughout ages who like to listen to everything, and to select the best from among them, to follow up.

The next verse (NO.42) gives a reason to prove the Oneness of God, Who is the Lord of the Throne of power:ِ ``Had there been other gods besides Him, they would have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne.'' This may mean a way to overcome Him, or to overthrow His Throne of Power. It also could mean that the gods, if they really existed, would try to get nearer to him, so as to attain a higher position. But Allah is most high above all that they say.

Glory be to Him:ِ ``Glorify Him seven heavens and the earth, and whoever is in them. And there is not a thing that does celebrate His praise, but you do not understand their celebration.'' The above verse implies that, all the creatures, be they animate or inanimate, even the skies and the earth and whatever is in them; all glorify God, and celebrate His praise. Therefore the universe is full of activity of singing the praise of Allah.

There is not a thing that does not celebrate the praise of God, but we do not understand it.
