Commentary
‘Ista-‘iinuu – (seek help), origin
of this word is ‘isti-‘aanat and it has been derived
from ‘awn which means help.
It was discussed in
the previous lesson that God Almighty has granted the Muslims a very high post.
That is to say, they should remove the polytheism and worshiping of
Idols from the world, convey the message of Unity (Oneness of God) in all
parts of the world and perform the duty of leadership and guidance for the entire
nations. It was necessary to support this responsibility that superior virtues
and kind manners be grown into the Muslims.
Three out of these
qualities have been mentioned in the previous lesson, namely:
· Worship Allah Almighty
and obey His commandments wholeheartedly.
· Spend the powers and
strength; granted by Him at proper places/circumstances.
· Esteem highly all
blessings and favors of God Almighty and do not be ungrateful. It has been
commanded in today’s lesson that “Seek help of God Almighty in steadfastness
and pray for success.
Two methods have been
narrated here to seek help of God Almighty:
· Seek help in
steadfastness during difficulties and calamities.
· Offer prayers
regularly.
To achieve the object,
the calamities and difficulties will come certainly. So, someone should not
give up steadfastness for the real cause.
Sabr –
(steadfastness, patience, power of overcoming), to stop oneself from confusion
during the circumstances of poverty and displeasing condition, to overcome with
strength during difficulties and troubles, and control over sensual wishes.
It is the reality of
the thought and prayer that the spirit gets power with the remembrance of God
Almighty. Such group or party never fails; in which these two qualities
exist.
Then, it is commanded that the people who will
keep their footings on steadfastness during the forthcoming difficulties by
following their cause, they will get particular help and coexistence of God
Almighty. And it is clear that; which group or party is supported by Allah
Almighty that can never fail. We should produce these virtues in ourselves and
become earnest for preaching and invitation.
