Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

گناه آشکار و پنهان

منظور از «گناه آشکار»» گناهانی است که عاقبت شوم و نتیجة بد آن پوشیده نیست؛ مانند شرک و فساد در زمین و ظلم. همچنین «گناهان پنهان»» گناهانی است که در نگاه اول عاقبت شوم آن گناه فهمیده نمی‌شود؛ مانند خوردن گوشت مردار و گوشت خوک و خون. خداونده گناه بودن این امور را بیان فرموده اما ممکن است در برخی از مواردء علت تحریم آنها به درستی برای ما روشن نباشد. این آیه می‌فرماید که تمام گناهان را رها کنید؛ هرچند پیامد و سرانجام آن را ندانید.
