[وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ
أَحَدُهُمْ بِالاٍّنْثَى ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا]
(And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of
them, his face becomes dark) meaning with distress and grief.
[وَهُوَ
كَظِيمٌ]
(and he is filled with inner grief!) meaning he is silent because of the
intensity of the grief he feels.
[يَتَوَارَى مِنَ
الْقَوْمِ]
(He hides himself from the people) meaning he does not want anyone to see
him.
[مِن سُوءِ مَا
بُشِّرَ بِهِ أَيُمْسِكُهُ عَلَى هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِى التُّرَابِ]
(because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her
with dishonor or bury her in the earth) meaning should he keep her, humiliating
her, not letting her inherit from him and not taking care of her, preferring his
male children over her
[أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِى
التُّرَابِ]
(or bury her in the earth) meaning bury her alive, as they used to do during
the days of ignorance. How could they dislike something so intensely, yet
attribute it to Allah
[أَلاَ سَآءَ مَا
يَحْكُمُونَ]
(Certainly, evil is their decision.) meaning how evil are the words they say,
the way they want to share things out and the things they attribute to Him. As
Allah says:
[وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ
أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَـنِ مَثَلاً ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدّاً وَهُوَ
كَظِيمٌ ]
(And if one of them is informed of the news of (the birth of a girl) that
which he sets forth as a parable to the Most Gracious (Allah), his face becomes
dark, and he is filled with grief!) (43:17). Here, Allah says:
[لِلَّذِينَ لاَ
يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاٌّخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ]
(For those who do not believe in the Hereafter there is an evil description,)
meaning, only imperfection is to be attributed to
[وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ
الاٌّعْلَى]
(and for Allah is the highest description) meaning He is absolutely perfect
in all ways and this absolute perfection is His Alone.
[وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ
الْحَكِيمُ]
(And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.)
[وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ
اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِمْ مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلكِن
يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَـَخِرُونَ
سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ - وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ
أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَى لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ
الْنَّارَ وَأَنَّهُمْ مُّفْرَطُونَ ]
(61. And if Allah were to punish (all) mankind for their wrongdoing, He would
not leave on it (the earth) a single moving creature, but He defers them to an
appointed term; and when their term comes, they can neither delay nor advance it
an hour (or a moment).) (62. They assign to Allah that which they dislike (for
themselves), and their tongues assert the lie that the better things will be
theirs. No doubt the Fire is for them, and they will be forsaken.)
