Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

منظور از اهل (بستگان) چیست؟

مفسران به این پرسش پاسخ‌های متفاوتی داده‌اند؛ اما با سیاق آیه سازگارتر این است که منظور از اهل» همسران و خدمتکارانی هستند که خدا برای انسان موّمن و پرهیزگار در بهشت آماده کرده است؛ چون خویشاوندی و هر رابطة اجتماعی دنیوی در روز قیامت از هم گسیخته می‌شود؛ چنان که در أَیةُ ۱۰۱ سورة موْمنون می‌خوانیم: «.. هیچ یک از پیوندهای خویشاوندی میان آنها در آن روز نخواهد بود..» پس معنای آیه این است که زیانکاران واقعی کسانی هستند که وجود خویش را در مصرض هلاکت ابدی قرار دادند و آن را از کمال واقعی باز داشتند و همسران و خدمتکاران بهشتی را که می‌توانستند با ایمان و عمل صالح به دست آورند و اهل و بستگان حقیقی و جاودان خویش کنند. از دست دادند. آری» زیان آشکار همین است.!
