Commentary on this passage
Verse 2
1.We find certain dangers in human life : (i) Every creature has an aspect of evil and it is dangerous. (ii) Night is the root of danger as there can be different activities in it. (iii) Those who blow, and ignite fires are permanent dangers of society. (iv) Jealous people are a danger as no act of jealousy is respectable and each of its practice is a new type of crime. According to Quran the only way to be protected against all these dangers is through the protection of Allah and without that a person cannot remain safe from calamities.
