Surah Baqarah Verse 10 Translation
In their hearts is a disease, so ALLAH has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment, because of their lies.
Surah Baqarah Verse 10 Explanation
Here the act of increasing ‘زَادَ’ is related towards Almighty ALLAH as it was in the word “خَتَمَ” in verse 7.
“عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ” means painful punishment. The punishment which would be very severe and unbearable.
كذب means telling something else other the existing thing. According to Islamic investigators, showing against the hidden beliefs and talking against the real incident both are conditions for kizb.
The lie of the hypocrites was that they had disbelief in their hearts and they used to lie by saying ‘ءَامَنَّا‘ (we believe) . It is known from this that it is strictly forbidden to lie to ALLAH and to his messenger. The ruling varies with different situations and usage. Sometimes it is haram, and in some cases makrooh, permissible or necessary. For example, in this hadith, Asmah daughter of Yazeed narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, It is not permissible to lie other than in 3 situations:
- A man lying to please his wife
- Lying in the war
- Lying to create peace between two fighting people.
Disease Meaning:
If a person’s body is suffering from some illness that affects his health and normal functioning is termed as disease.
Disease in reality is the sickness of body, and the spiritual diseases such as jealousy, love of evil, etc. come under the phrasal meaning of disease. The disease of the hypocrites was spiritual because ever since the Prophet visited Madinah, the leadership of Jews was gone in Madina. Their hearts used to burn out of envy which was their disease. And the status of the Prophet was increasing day by day, with this their disease was also increasing. Or due to the repeated descendings of the Quranic revelations and because of increasing Islamic rulings and restrictions on them, their disease was increasing.
مَّرَضٌ includes their disbelief, bad assumptions, disrespect, abusive speech all. Due to their jealousy, the progression of Islam became the sickness of their heart. That is why their disease increased further. It is also clear that good deeds and bad deeds have their effects on the soul due to which the spiritual status varies.
