(112) ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُواْ إِلاَّ بِحَبْلٍ مِّنْ اللّهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَبَآؤُوا
بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَسْكَنَةُ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ
الْأَنبِيَاءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَّكَانُواْ يَعْتَدُونَ
112. " Abasement has been branded on them, wherever they are found, unless (they cling to) the cord of Allah and the cord of men; so, they have incurred wrath from Allah; and wretchedness has been stumped upon them. That is because they went on rejecting Allah's Signs and slaying the prophets unjustly. That was because they disobeyed, and went on transgressing."
Commentary :
The result of disbelief and slaying prophets is being encountered with abasement and wretchedness in this world and the wrath of Allah in the coming world. Sin and transgression is a preparation for greater sins, like infidelity and slaying the prophets.
"... That was because they disobeyed, and went on transgressing."
It is worthy to note that what is worse than transgression and disbelief is the continuation and persistence of the act of disbelief and transgression.
"... so, they have incurred wrath from Allah; and wretchedness has been stumped upon them."
The Jews are always abased, although sometimes they take the cord of propagation, economics and policy, yet they are in the lowest position from the point of honesty, honour, amiability and security. The example of them is like the cruel persons who are armed and create alarm and terror in order to obtain masses of wealth, but they can never attain a high honourable rank.
" Abasement has been branded on them, wherever they are found, ..."
Explanations:
1. The secret of honour is two things: The inwardly Faith in the Power of Allah, and outwardly communication with communities and nations.
"... unless ( they cling to) the cord of Allah and the cord of men; ..."
So, each of them singly is imperfect. When there is Faith but accompanied with isolation and retreat with people, we can do nothing. And, when we are in contact with all people, but there is not Faith from inside, we are helpless, too.
2. Maybe, the repetition of the word 'cord' is the key to the fact that these two cords are not alike.
3. Islamic literatures denote that the Jews did not mostly slay the prophets with swords themselves, but they reported the prophets' mysteries and imformations to the enemies and, as a result of it, the cruel forces could capture the prophets and slay them.
"...That is because they went on rejecting Allah's Signs and slaying the prophets unjustly. ..."
