Commentary
‘Al- ‘Islaam – (believing in the religion of
Allah, obedience), literal meaning of Islam is ‘to deliver oneself over’. On
account of this respect, this religion is called Islam, because a Muslim
affirms to bow his neck before the orders of Allah Almighty and entrust himself
completely to One Most High God Almighty, as though Islam is the name of
“Accepting” and Muslim-hood (Mussulmani) as “Obedience”.
Diinun – This word has two meanings,
a. Retaliation
b. Religion
It means that method of meditation and actions
which is foundation for consideration and deeds of a person and nation. The Way
of life which Allah Almighty has liked for His servants (Human beings), that is
Islam, i.e. subjection and obedience, perfect and last form of which has been
clarified in the world by Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him).
In reality, all former Prophets (peace be upon
them) brought the same religion named Islam. But in this regard which perfect
in all respect, collective and universal commands and guidelines have been
delivered by the last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), those have preference in many ways from ancient
religious laws. Therefore, these were called with the name of Islam in a
special color. However, it has been proclaimed in this verse before specially
Christians of Syria (Najraan) and commonly before the entire world that
religion is only the name of one thing, that is, the person should surrender
himself to Allah Almighty wholeheartedly, and whatever order is delivered by
Him, he should obey it without any hesitation.
Now those people who say the Prophet Jesus
Christ (peace be upon him) as son of Allah Almighty (Let’s flee to Allah), eat
pork, slaughter the Prophets (peace be upon them), try to remove the true
religion despite the good news from Prophet Moses and Jesus (peace be upon
them), envy the true Prophet (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon them),
Have these people any right to say themselves followers of the religion of
Abraham (peace be upon him)?
For perfect example good attitude of Prophet
Abraham (peace be upon him), auspicious lives of Prophet Christ and Moses
(peace be upon them) and in the last, very sacred life of last Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) are complete role
models for the humankind. Banishment of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him),
opposing Nimrud , leaving alone his
(peace be upon them) innocent child and wife in the wilderness and without
water valley; for pleasure of Allah Almighty, being prepared to sacrifice his
(peace be upon them) son Ishmael in the Way of Allah Almighty. All these things
enlighten his (peace be upon him) activeness for pleasure of Allah Almighty.
Enduring torture of enemies of God Almighty by
the Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him),
departure from his native land, fighting in the Path of Allah Almighty, clarify
perfect subjection and obedience. These are the great and holy persons, who are
imitable for human beings in all respect and to follow them is called Islam and
obedience. May Allah Almighty make us able to do so. Aameen.
