Anlam
What is intended by "his destruction of tillage and stock"?
Cevap
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- It refers to destroying them through killing, burning, and wreaking havoc. [Majority]
- When injustice occurs, it becomes a cause for the withholding of rain, which leads to the destruction of crops and animals. [Mujāhid] This aligns with the interpretation that tawallā means "taking authority".
- It refers to the destruction that results from misguidance, the ultimate outcome of which is ruin (halāk).
