An analysis of Surah al-nisaa(4) verses:82—85


Verse:82:-Referring to the hypocrites, ambivalent attitude towards the prophethood of Muhammad(pbuh),Allah says that don’t they ponder over the Quran? This Quran is the greatest proof of The Prophet’s truthfulness. If the Quran was not a divine book, there would have been a lot of discrepancies in it.
Verse:83:-This verse refers to the machinations and rumour-mongering of the hypocrites.
Rumours,and especially during war times, can play havoc.Allahs says that these hypocrites spread every kind of news in order to create unrest. Instead of spreading the news wildly, they should have first informed the Prophet(pbuh) and other responsible persons of every happening and news. This spreading of rumours and creating unrest is the handiwork of devils, both among the jinns and humanbeings.Mosts of you might have indulged in this mischief and succumbed to the wiles of Satan but Allah had mercy upon you and saved you from the dangerous consequences.
Verse: 84:- The prophet is told to ignore hypocrites. If they don’t show any zeal about the war against the oppressors(see verses:71,72,75,77),the Prophet should focus his attention on the true believers and urge them to fight against the oppression and persecution of the disbelievers(kuffar).Your are not responsible about the attitude of the hypocrites(see also verse no.80). You are responsible only for yourself. Allah will ward off and break the might and pressure of the disbelievers . Allah is more powerful than them and will punish them severely.
Verse:85: The hypocrite tried to discourage Muslims, instill fear of the enemy in their hearts and dissuade them from taking part in the Jehad.For this purpose they spread rumours etc. Allah tells the Prophet and true Muslims that they should urge one another into fighting in the way of Allah. Anybody who calls to a good cause(here jihad),will have a part from the reward of the good acts he promoted and any body who calls to a bad cause will have share of it. Allah is watching everything and has the power to punish or reward the promoters of good acts and the promoters of bad acts.
