Asad | this, because they hate [the very thought of] what God has bestowed from on high [Namely, the revelation relating to man's moral responsibility to a Supreme Being.] - and thus He causes all their deeds to come to nought! [The particle fa ("and thus") at the beginning of this clause connotes a consequence: in other words, it is their rejection of the idea of moral responsibility, inherent in all divine revelation, that deprives the deeds of "those who are bent on denying the truth" - even such deeds as might be termed "good" - of all moral value. This law of inner causality explains fully the phrase "He will let all their [good] deeds go to waste" occurring in verses 1 and 8.] |
