| Asad | Man's other self' will say: [Lit., as in verse 23, "his intimate companion" (qarin): but whereas there it may be taken as denoting man's moral consciousness or reason, in the present instance the "speaker" is obviously its counterpart, namely, the complex of the sinner's instinctive urges and inordinate, unrestrained appetites summarized in the term saiq ("that which drives") and often symbolized as shaytan ("Satan" or "satanic force": see Razi's remarks quoted in note on 14:22.) In this sense, the term qarin has the same connotation as in 41:25 and 43:36.] "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [Lit., "him" or "it" - referring to man's faculty of conscious, controlling reason (shahid).] - [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! [I.e., man's evil impulses and appetites cannot gain ascendancy unless his conscious mind goes astray from moral verities: and this explains the purport, in the present context, of verses 24-25 above.] |
