105. Verily, We have sent down this Book to you in Truth, so that you may judge between men, in accordance with that which Allah has shown you, and do not become a pleader for the dishonest187 people.
106. And seek the forgivenss of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
107. And plead not on behalf of the people who are dishonest to themselves. Verily, Allah loves not one who is treacherous and sinful.
108. They hide themselves from men, but they cannot hide themselves from Allah. He is with them when by night they hold discourse displeasing to Him188. And Allah encompasses all that they do.
109. Ah ! you are the ones that you contended on their behalf in life of this world, but who will contend on their behalf against Allah on the Day of Judgment, or who will take responsibility of their deeds189?
110. And if anyone does evil or wrongs to his own soul, but afterwards seeks Allah ‘s forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.190
111. And if anyone earns sin, he earns it against his own soul. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
112. And whosoever commits a crime or a sin, and throws the blame there of on some innocent, then he has burdened himself with false accusation and flagrant sin 191.
187. In this verse dishonesty and treacherousness mean disloyalty to Allah and His messenger. Those who were not sincere in their faith, acted in such a way that religion received a set back, and their wicked mentality about Allah and His messenger was obvious. But since they had become a part of the Muslim society, being called Muslims and having their relations among the Muslims, some Muslims took their side when questioned or criticised for their wrong acts. Here a warning is given on this very point that people who are breaking their promise with Allah and His messenger should not be supported and their case should not be pleaded.
The decision of any person’s being on the right or otherwise should be taken in the light of the Divine Book only, and it should be taken honestly and dispassionately.
In the verse, the addressee is the Prophet, but actually the warning is meant through the Prophet, for other Muslims who were advocating the case of the hypocrites.
188. Refers to the secret meetings and conspiracies of the hypocrites.
189. That is: On the Day of Judgment everybody will be responsible for his own deeds and will not accept other’s burden. Then what would you get by supporting and pleading the case of these so-called Muslims in the world?
190. Those persons who were not sincere in their faith, and were active in conspiring secretly against the rising power of Islam, have been invited to realise that even now if they feel sorry for their past acts and establish their relationship of loyalty with Allah, they can deserve to get His forgiveness and bounties.
191. Refers to the practice of the hypocrites that whenever any of their conspiracies or sins was unearthed they used to find some excuses and falsely implicate others. Quran has clarified that as a principle the committing of a sin or crime in itself is a bad thing, but to implicate falsely some other innocent person for that crime or sin is to take a very heavy burden of sin on one’s head, for excuse is worse than the crime.
