Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 116-117Verses 118-119

      In the above two verses, a principle which will guarantee to save society from corruption and destruction has been propounded. As far as there are some thoughtful and virtuous men in a society, who forbid evil and enjoin good deeds; and who stand stout against evil without being tempted by worldly pleasures and lusts, their community will not yield to corruption and perdition.

      On the other hand when indifferences prevail and no one in a society shows any reaction against evil deeds, and the phrases:ِ ©NOT MY BUSSINESS¨ and, ©IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS¨ is often heard here and there; the society will decay, and eventually shall be doomed.

      Our Lord is not to destroy a town unjustly, when its inhabitants are moving on their way to righteousness and truth. God is too Merciful to destroy a people, so far as, there be a hope of repentance and amendment for them. In the shade of such a hope, God's Grace and Mercy will withhold and delay their punishment and misfortune, to give them a respite to put things aright.

      So there must be some defensive forces in every population and society to stand against the invasion of evil forces. As a matter of fact, the community is an example of a human body in all aspects and respects. The man body which moves a long span of life, through a world filled with hazards, has a remarkable system of defenses against accidents and disease.

      The invasion of the body by the infectious agents, such as microbes has been likened to war.

      There are local skirmishes at the point of attack, followed later by generalized battles. In this war the cells and the chemical constituents of blood represent the defending forces or armies against the invaders. The white cells may be compared to the infantry, which does the hand-to-hand fighting, and which mops up after the action.
      The invading bacterias direct a chemical attack against the body tissues. They produce a chemical substance called toxins, or poisons, which may be a damaging or even fatal. These substances may be picked up from the site of the local invasion, and may be carried through the whole body.

      Against the ``poison attack'' there is chemical defense. The invaded tissues soon begin producing a substance called antibodies which counteract the effects of the invading germs. There are several kinds of antibodies. The antitoxins directly neutralize the toxin: the agglutinins cause the invading bacteria to clump together and become inactive; the opsonins ©soften up¨ the bacteria for the attacks of the white cells, and the bacteriolysins dissolve the germs.

      However if the body loses the local skirmish, the defending forces may be overwhelmed, and the invading forces make a break through. Fortunately our body has also a second line of defenseِthe physicians tell us.

      The whole society of mankind too is just like our body. If the defensive forces who act against evil deeds vanish and be vanquished, the microbs that carry the germs of social disease will directly invade the community and conquering it, they grow up and begin their swift reproductions, to ruin the whole society of mankind.

      Here is where the important social role of those who are called, ©BAQIYYAT¨ in the above verse (NO.116) can be apprehended. They are a rare group of godly and virtuous persons, who stand firm in their fight with social microbes. They are pious, and are not tempted by their lusts and the worldly pleasures. They bravely and with good knowledge forbid evil deeds and enjoin piety and good conducts. They are leaders that have the faculty and virtue that can save a nation from disaster or perdition.
