Innal lazeena attaqau--- This is said about
those whose hearts are free of the thoughts of sin.
When the heart is pure and clean, then automatically
all other organs get into sound repair. Therefore, the
tongue, the eyes, the ears and the limbs do not get
associated with any wrong act.
Iza massahum taaef--- Taaef is a person
who does tawaaf or circumambulates. Here it
is meant Satan going round the heart in search of a
hole to break in.
Min al Shaitan--- it is the mention of the
retainers of Satan who go round the heart in search
of an opening to barge in. But
Tazkkaru--- The owner of the heart, a momin,
is busy in Remembrance of Allah and says, "Ya
Allah- Astghfar Allah- Aaoozu billahi min al Shaitan
ir rajeem-O Allah! Protect me from the harm that Satan
can cause me!"
Hence, Fa izahum mubseroon--- Their eyes instantaneously
illuminate with the light of vision and they get warned
of the thief in their environs.
Here I wish to point at the words Taaef min al Shaitan
which connote that the one who takes rounds of the heart
of a momin to find an entry is from the group
of Satan.
Remember! If there is piety (Taqwa) for Allah
in the heart, then it will be pure and clean. The bright
light of piety will put the thief to shame and he escapes
from there. Pity the heart that is devoid of piety and
full of worldly desires. Such a person will fall into
the clutches of Satan and meet a sad end.
