AL-FURQAN (25) ============== 25:43 Have you seen the one who has taken his desire as his god? Will you be a caretaker over him? 25:44Or do you think that most of them hear or comprehend? They are just like livestock. No, they are worse off. 25:45Did you not see to your Lord how He casts the shadow? If He wished, He could have made it still, then We would have made the sun as a guide to it. 25:46and then, We draw it in towards Ourselves with a gradual drawing-in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Exposition: 43.(The fact is that they only obey their own desires and emotions. As such) Who can bring a person who is a slave and admirer of his own desires to the right path? O Rasool! Is it possible for you to guard this person in a way that he does not fall into Jahannum? You certainly cannot take responsibility for him.” 44. Do you expect such people to listen to reason and logic; and then utilize their own intellect and powers of reasoning? (No, certainly not! Anyone who follows his emotions can never think dispassionately.) Truly these people (have not reached the human level of life and) are just living like cattle. In fact it is worse than that! (At least animals follow their instincts and never go astray from their path; but a human being who follows his passions continuously keeps changing his course ~ 7:179, 67:10.) 45.(Leaving animals aside, even inanimate objects follow just one and the same path.) Have you not observed how the Divine Law of the universe causes a shadow to lengthen (in the afternoon). If We had so desired We could have made the Law whereby (the earth would not revolve and) the shadow would stay the same. (But We have co-related the sun and the earth in such a way that) The shadow of each object continues increasing and decreasing in relation to its position with respect to the sun. (Thus the sun becomes its point of reference; and accordingly we can approximate the shadow after considering the position of the sun.) 46.Then as the sun passes the meridian the shadows start increasing. Thereafter We gradually draw them towards Us (and with the setting of the sun the shadows disappear).
