Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (So they committed much corruption therein)]
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Fajr: 12] Meaning: through disobedience and killing the weak,And the corruption here is: moral corruption, and moral corruption is followed by physical corruption, as Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said: [Al-A'raf: 96] For this reason, some scholars said regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-A'raf: 56] They said: Do not corrupt it through disobedience,And accordingly, His saying: [Al-Fajr: 12] Meaning: moral corruption, but moral corruption is followed by physical corruption.
And it was the case with previous nations that Allah the Exalted would destroy these deniers completely, but for this nation, Allah lifted this type of punishment from them and made their punishment to be that their wrath is among them, where they destroy one another. Accordingly, what has occurred among the Muslims in the form of fighting and destroying one another is only due to disobedience and sins; Allah allows some of them to dominate others, and this becomes a punishment from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
Allah the Exalted said:
And increased therein the corruption.
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَAnd if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."
وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَكِنْ كَذَّبُوا فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَAnd cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation
وَلا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِهَاAnd increased therein the corruption.
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَAnd it was the case with previous nations that Allah the Exalted would destroy these deniers completely, but for this nation, Allah lifted this type of punishment from them and made their punishment to be that their wrath is among them, where they destroy one another. Accordingly, what has occurred among the Muslims in the form of fighting and destroying one another is only due to disobedience and sins; Allah allows some of them to dominate others, and this becomes a punishment from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
