In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Extract
from QUR’AANIC
STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:
224. Wala tajAAaloo Allaha
AAurdatan li-aymanikum an tabarroo watattaqoo watuslihoo
bayna alnnasi waAllahu
sameeAAun AAaleemun
2:224. And make
not Allah but a front for your oaths that you're good, pious and a reformer.
Allah listens, knows.421
421. This Verse discourages frequent
swearing, in Allah’s Name, in emphasis of one’s virtues. Allah is aware of
them. There is no need of the swearing for those virtuous. But we all do come
across persons, who would swear by Allah, without batting an eyelid, that
they're but epitomes of virtue. But, later, we come to know that they're
rogues. This Verse alludes to such people as well! They should know that their
Creator is aware of their perfidy. They can't escape His firm grip.
