24:11
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And were it not for Allah’s grace and His mercy upon you, and the fact that Allah is Compassionate and Wise, you would have come to grief.
English - Five Volume Translation
And were it not for Allah’s grace and His mercy upon you, and the fact that Allah is Compassionate and Wise, you would have come to grief.[2599]
Commentary:
The verse means to say that God is merciful to mankind inasmuch as He has laid down in the Quran injunctions by acting upon which they can save themselves from those most dreadful social evils which are likely to undermine the whole social structure. The verse also implies a warning to Muslims to beware of these evils. It is, however, to be regretted that the Quranic injunctions in regard to these social evils have been honoured more in the breach than in the observance thereof.
