Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation of (sura Yunus(jonah)) Section 3 : the Divine Mercy Commentary : Verse 21 Ingratitude of Man after enjoying the Divine Mercy Every evil shall be equally punished along with ignominy All false deities shall vanish away on the Day of Judgment and they will disown their devotees.

"" Commentary : The previous verse alluded to the pretexts of those who used to ask why no new signs were revealed. Here Allah refers to their obstinacy and to the fact that they played dirty tricks after a new verse was revealed instead of appreciating it. The verse says: " And when We make mankind taste of(Our)mercy after adversity hath touched them, behold! they have a device concerning Our Signs!

..." As for the occasion of revelation of this verse, it has been said that there occurred a drought and famine in Mecca. The Almighty(s. w. t.)made it rain for the blessing of His Prophet(p.b.u.h.) .

The polytheists claimed, however, that the reason for the rain was because of the idols.(The commentary of As- S afi, Fi- Z alal- il- Qur'an and Fakhr- i- Razi) One of the measures and tricky devices employed by his enemies was character assassination of the Prophet(p.b.u.h.) , ridiculing the divine verses, and degrading the blessings of Allah.

At any rate, man misuses God- given blessings and makes mischief instead of giving thanks and we must know that he who plays dirty tricks, will ultimately be involved with the device and the punishment of Allah. The verse says: "... Say: 'Allah is quicker at devising. ..." Then, He warns them not to think that such conspiracies and plans will be forgotten.

His messengers,(that is, His angels responsible for recording human actions)will take note of all those plans which disbelievers arrange for extinguishing the light of the truth. And they must prepare themselves for the Judgment and the punishment in the world here- after. The verse says: "... Verily, Our messengers record what you devise'.
