Commentary

      

The religious and worldly wrong deeds and evils of which persons were described in the previous verses, now their specific chastisement has been mentioned; those persons will be punished because of their wrongdoing and dishonesty. Their biggest sin is that they tried to falsify the truth after understanding it. They turned away notwithstanding knowing the path of goodness, were not attentive towards the preachers of rectitude and righteousness.

This same trick was of the Jews and the Christians. These people had known by reciting the Scriptures (Heavenly Books) that after the Prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them), the last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will be sent. When he was born, they refused after knowing him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

Punishment for those people is that on them rests the curse of Allah, His angels (peace be upon them) and of the men combined. In addition, they also shun themselves personally, when they say from their own tongues, “Allah’s curse on liars and wrongdoers” doing so they reprove in fact themselves.

For them, this curse is for ever. Moreover, they will be entangled in grievous torment on the Day of Resurrection. Neither their doom will be lightened, nor will they be reprieved for a while. The fire has not a characteristic that it would lessen its heat, burning or inflammation for some time. That fire would be brought by Omnipotent and it would be Divine wrath for them.

Usually those people strengthen the power of badness who after understanding the reality of goodness, adopt the path of evil only due to following the casual, fickle and useless motives. These people mostly harm the power of goodness. Other persons are deceived strongly by their deception. Their faith becomes unsettled. Their belief on goodness is weakened.

Those people who have doubts in the path of guidance and good fortune, actually they become also the cause of others’ depravity. Due to their natural disposition of this indirect badness, they are settled to deserve the curse.  The curse of Allah Almighty, His angels (peace be upon them), the Muslims and the persons of good souls (combined) rests on them.

la’-natAllaahi – (the curse of Allah), la-‘a-na is its root. Mal-‘uun is he, who is accursed. It means distance and the

curse. According to phraseology, it means the distance from the pity, mercy and exclusion from favor and bounty of Allah Almighty is called ‘Curse’.

86.  How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and (after) they bore witness that the Messenger is true and after clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) had come unto them. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

86.  Kayfa  yahDillaahu  qawman-kafaruu  ba’-da  ‘iimaanihim  wa shahiduuu  ‘annar-Rasuula  haqqunw-wa  jaaa-‘ahumul-Bayyinaat.  Wallaahu  laa  yahdil-qawmaz-zaalimiin.

Commentary

      

Allah Almighty has commanded in this verse that He will never guide the wrongdoers. Wrongdoers are those people who disbelieved after their belief. They neither accepted the truth themselves, nor invited others unto the Straight Path. In addition, their refusal became resistance for others to believe in.

Some people chose infidelity after understanding the Truth. They see the reality with their eyes, when they join their own people; they also affirm secretly that the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is True. Bright proofs, open signs and clear glad tidings of his truth, sincerity and fidelity have reached them. Despite, their arrogance, envy and love of personal dignity have been preventing them from embracing Islam and leaving the infidelity.

It was common condition of the Jews and the Christians. How can it be hoped that either Allah Almighty will forgive them who are such obstinate and perverse Infidels, or bring them towards the Way of His Pleasure and lead them to reach the paradise? It is not His principle to bestow the real success to the unjust, bigoted and disobedient transgressors.

The people, who embraced Islam, bore witness that the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) was true and after clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) which came unto them, they deserted from Islam and became renegade by following the worldly aims, sensuality and luxury, their condition will be worse than the above categories. They will be rightful owners of the curse and punishment. Who will be blinder than a person who gets light but afterwards openly says that the darkness is light? Who will exalt him?

These people will be losers on the Day of Judgment. Biggest loss for them will be that they would have wasted even their principal (capital). Every human being has been born on the virtue and good fortune of the human nature. But the human being destroys his good nature by wrongdoing, flowing in the ambitions of shameful passions, false thoughts and disgusting desires. And he falls much down from the grade of humanity. It is the form of loss.

When such people tyrannize themselves, after knowing the truth and difference between good and bad, they choose the path of evil, and turn away from the Commands of Allah Almighty, then how can they be guided towards the straight path? They adopt perverseness due to their wrong deeds, are entangled in stray and loss real essence of the humanity. May Allah Almighty save us from the company of the people like them and their evils.

85..  Wa  many-yabtagi  gayral-‘Islaami  Diinan-  falany-yaqbala  minh.  Wa  huwa   fil-‘Aakhirati  minal-khaasiriin.

Commentary

      

It has been described in this verse that if someone seeks any other religion except Islam, that will not be accepted by Allah Almighty. He will be punished in this world for such attempt as well as a loser in the Hereafter.

It is the fact that while the religion (Islam) has been revealed in its full form, then no liar, self-made or incomplete religion can be acceptable. If after rising the sun, someone kindles a lamp or searches the light of the stars, then it would be stupidity only.

The same likeness is fit for the religion. Now the time of any local religion, creed relating to breed and limited guidance has passed. Above all; each person should get light only from the last and conqueror of the world Messenger-hood and guidance, because it is the treasury of the entire illuminations, in which all the previous lights have been inserted.

The aim from it is to warn the Children of Israel that they should not seek as religion other than Islam. Moreover, they should get protection in its embrace. “You are bearer of which religion or you claim about which Scripture as yours, their principles and formulae are exactly according to Islam and the Islam has a little superiority over them”. The appearance of the Jewish and Christianity religions was local. Those religions were sent only for a particular nation and time to be adopted.

Islam is a conqueror of the world, perfect and collective religion. It comprehends all fields of life. Therefore, if you wish to become faithful to your religion, then you should embrace Islam. You will get deliverance and respect because of it. If you will remain standing opposite notwithstanding its comprehension, and seek any other religion except Islam, then surely it will be false, misled and self-made. Therefore, it will never be accepted. In addition, those people will get severe punishment of their infidelity and denial. They will find themselves among the losers on the Day of Resurrection.

This world is just like an examination hall and the retaliation of its deeds will be given in the Hereafter. The person who will sow the seeds of good acts with digging and labor in this world, he will get pleasure and comfort on the Day of Judgment, and who remained earning the worldly wealth and property due to his perverseness and spite, he will get there obdurate loss.

Therefore, we should not remain imprudent; we should adopt the path of goodness becoming farsighted. Otherwise, it is much difficult to escape from the loss of the Hereafter. Farsighted is he who tries for his better end, specifically such end which is of a permanent nature, neither that is temporary and nor for the time being.

(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  قُلْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَوَإِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ 84

Commentary

      

Now practical likeness of the Muslims has been shown to the People of the Scripture. The Jews and the Christians proved to be wrong, falsified and denied all other Prophets and heavenly Books except their own Prophets (peace be upon them) and heavenly Books (the Scripture). It has been described in this verse about the stance of the Muslims that those people who have entered in the nation of Last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and embraced Islam, they believe in the entire previous Prophets as sent by God Almighty (peace be upon them) without distinction and discrimination. They consider the ancient Holy Books as the Word of Allah Almighty and admit that, “We believe in Allah and understand that the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Him as His Apostles (peace be upon them).  

Having belief in Allah cannot be considered as true without obeying His commandments. We have faith in that Word of Allah Almighty which is revealed in the form of Holy Qur’anfor us and we believe in the important lineage of the Prophets (peace be upon them). We also admit all those orders, which were revealed periodically unto Abraham, and his generation’s Prophets like Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob and from their tribes (peace be upon them). After them, we have also faith in the Divine’s Word, which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) in the form of Torah and Jesus (peace be upon him) and the Gospel. Near us these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Allah Almighty. They were honest and truthful. The Scripture, which was revealed upon them by Allah Almighty, was the Truth. We do not differentiate between them. We do not falsify to anyone of them. Because accusing any Prophet of falsehood will carry in the Infidelity, even if everyone else is considered as Prophet. We are real Muslims (the obedient of Allah Almighty).

Nahnu  lahuu  Muslimuun – (unto Him we have surrendered), the stance of the Muslims has been cleared in this sentence that every Muslim believes in the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) who were sent by Allah Almighty, were honest. The aim of these verses is to produce a pattern for following by the People of the Scripture that, “if you claim that you are Muslims then it is the Straight Path. You will reach the destination if you adopt it”.

83.  Seek they other than the religion of Allah, when unto Him submitheth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and  unto Him they will be returned.

83.  Afa-gayra  DiiNillaahi  yab-guuna  wa  lahuuu  ‘aslama man  fis-samaa-waati  wal-‘arzi  taw-‘anw-wa  karhanw-wa  ‘ilayHi  yurja-‘uun.

Commentary

      

DiiNillaahi – (the religion of Allah), this word has already been used earlier many times. Diin means fashion, custom, rites, observances and a way of life, for instance; that particular manner of thought and practice, which is foundation of solicitude and view for work, effort and action. Every community has its own specific ideologies. These ideologies fix his form of thinking. Then in accordance with them, it moulds its all-social manners of living, mode and civilization.

 The people of the Scripture had known the news regarding the period of the Last Messenger, Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) from their Heavenly Books. Their prophets (peace be upon them) had caused to hear them the glad tidings that one last prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will have to come, whose religion will be of international level. When Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came, they knew him well. But due to envy, malice and persistence, they disbelieved in him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), denied to embrace Islam and gave the lie.

In these conditions, the question arises that if these people are not ready to choose the most perfect and magnificent religion like Islam, then which religion would they like? Do they seek the religion which would be quite separate from the entire religions; bestowed by Allah Almighty, or they are desirous of any self invented religion? Even in the world, Islam (the religion of Peace and Obedience) remained and will remain always as the religion of Allah Almighty. That is to say; to bow own head before any Command, whenever it reaches by means of any Prophet or Messenger (peace be upon him). Today which religion is being presented by the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), is the same Islam. Deliverance is not possible without it. Real success cannot be acquired due to turning away from it. The humankind should never deny obeying the command of Allah Almighty for his own happiness and likeness, whether this Command is cause of happiness for him or he feels compulsion and helplessness in its execution.

Some creatures of Allah Almighty are those who accept pleasantly the Commands of Allah Almighty as the Angels (peace be upon them), the pious persons and worshipers, and some are those who believe by force as deniers of the truth, whereas, satisfaction of the hearts cannot be acquired without the religion of Allah Almighty.

These entire matters will be illuminated upon these deniers of the truth, when the entire human beings will be present before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment. All creations will have to return there inevitably. Each wise person should be ready before coming of that Day. If he remained disobedient and involved in the matters of this world only then which figure will he show there?

Commentary

      

As it was mentioned in the previous lesson that Allah Almighty had made  covenant with the Prophets (peace be upon them) that they will believe in the last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and guide their nations also to believe in him. Since the Prophet (peace be upon him) exists innocent, so it cannot be thought about him that he would be faithless to his word. Therefore, the people about whom the suspicion has been revealed, they might be only out of the nation. Allah Almighty has commanded about them that they will be counted in the list of great disobedient.  

Allah Almighty had knowledge at the time of creation of the sons of Adam that the human being is immature from the side of his sense and puppet of the avarice. He keeps inclination to turn towards the evil. He does not try to be saved from becoming disbeliever due to greediness and covetousness. Therefore, it is necessary to guide him. Allah Almighty began to send His Prophets (peace be upon them) for the guidance of mankind. But it is evident that the Prophet (peace be upon him) never remains living in the world always. It was unavoidable to send the Prophets (peace be upon them) one after one.

In such a manner the Prophets (peace be upon them) used to come in the world for the guidance of the human beings. It was needful to establish fellowship between them for the success of this system. They would be taught the same kind of principles and formulae, bestowed same type of basic rules and regulations for rectitude and righteousness, and along with it; urge them to help one another. So that the prejudiced and stingy persons might not consider their religion as the last one, which was preached only by their Prophet (peace be upon him), and would not falsify the next coming Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Therefore, Allah Almighty made covenant with the entire Prophets (peace be upon them). Those all Prophets (peace be upon them) used to guide their nations on this topic according to their covenants.

In all, there were also Prophet Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). These both venerable persons informed their nations (the Jews and the Christians) about fair Divine inspiration of the apostleship of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him). But their nations ignored the sayings of these noble persons (peace be upon them), amended the Heavenly Scripture, put the difference in meanings of their verses and participated with exertion in each type of insurrection.    

When the Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was sent, they denied to believe in him after knowing and did not care the orders and guidance of their Prophets (peace be upon them). They tyrannized themselves becoming disbelievers and caused to enumerate in the disobedient. 

Faasiqun – (miscreant), those people who infringe the orders of Allah Almighty and are fixed as the criminals of disobedience.

Commentary

      

The same fact has been repeated in these verses, that no Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches the people for his own devotion. He just teaches the worship of One God (Allah Almighty). Allah Almighty has made covenant with the Prophets (peace be upon them) also as well as the common people that when another prophet comes after anyone of you, definitely he will testify the former Prophets and their Scriptures. Therefore, it is important that the Prophet who has come earlier, he should believe in the authenticity of the Prophet (peace be upon them) who would come later and help him. If he does not find his time, then he should urge his nation perfectly that they should believe in the upcoming Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. To bequest the people like this is also included in helping him.

 It manifests from this verse that the covenant has been made with the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) that they would believe in the last Prophet of Allah Almighty, Muhammad, (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. Because he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming in the last of all the Prophets and all of them (peace be upon them) had passed over before his arrival. Obviously, the entire prophets (peace be upon them) would have made their covenants with their people. Therefore,  Ali and Ibn-e-Abaas (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them) said, “This type of covenant was made with the Prophets” and the Holy Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said himself, “If Mosses (peace be upon him) were living today, there was no other chance for him without following me”. In addition, commanded, “When Jesus (peace be upon him) will come again, he will decide according to Holy Qur’an and Sayings of your Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described in this verse that Allah Almighty asked for more Emphasizing, “Do you affirm?” The entire Prophets (peace be upon them) represented that they agreed to. Allah Almighty ordered, “Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you”.

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤْتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحُكْمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُوا۟عِبَادًا لِّى مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن كُونُوا۟ رَبَّٰنِيِّۦنَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ 79

وَلَا يَأْمُرَكُمْ أَن تَتَّخِذُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَوَٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ أَرْبَابًا أَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ 80

79b.  but (what he said was): Be ye faithful servants of the Lord by virtue of your constant teaching of the Scripture and of your constant study thereof,          80.  And he commanded you not that ye should take the angels and the Prophets for lords. Would he command you to disbelieve after ye had surrendered (to Allah)?

79b.  wa laakin  kuunuu  Rabbaa-niyyiina  bimaa  kuntum  tu-‘allimuunal-Kitaaba  wa  bi-maa  kuntum  tadrusuun,           80. Wa  laa  ya’-murakum  ‘an-tattakhizul-malaaa-‘ikata  wan-Nabiyyiina  ‘arbaabaa.  ‘Aya’-murukum-  bil-kufri  ba’-da  ‘iz  ‘antum-Muslimuun.

Commentary

      

Rabbaa-niyyiina – (faithful servants of the Lord), this word has come out from Rabb. Rabb means The Cherisher, The Provident; God. That is to say; That Entity, Who bestowed existence to the entire creation and universe, and granted steps for improvement and completion.

It has been corroborated more in this verse, which was described in the previous lesson, namely a Prophet upon whom Allah Almighty takes pity as much that He causes to reach him up to the rank of Prophet-hood, he (peace be upon him) will never invite the people to worship him instead of God Almighty. On the contrary, he (peace be upon him) brings the people in Islam causing them to release from infidelity and belief in a plurality of God Almighty. How can he (peace be upon him) teach them about infidelity?

Holy Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) will say even to the Jews, “O the People of the Scripture! Which religiousness you had earlier, there was a tradition among you to recite and teach the Scripture that have remained no more. You can get that very earlier perfection if stay by my side now, and become scholars, philosophers, jurists, devotees, pious persons and God worshippers again. This opportunity can be acquired now by means of reciting, learning and teaching the Holy Qur’an.”

The Messenger (peace be upon Him); sent by God Almighty, cannot preach the people to make the angels and prophets as their lords like the Christians who had appointed the Prophet Jesus and the angel Gabriel (peace be upon Them). Moreover, one group out of them had fixed Prophet Uzair ‘Ezra’ (peace be upon Him) and some Idolaters had settled the angels as their lords. When the angels and Prophets (peace be upon them) cannot be the partners in the Divinity, then in which count are idols of stones and the wood of crucifix?  

At the end Allah Almighty commanded, “How can it be so, that a Prophet who tries to make the people Rabbaa-nii (faithful servants of the Lord), the Muslim andMuwahhid (believing in one God), and when they embrace, then he (the prophet) (peace be upon Him) destroy all his labor and performance due to bringing them towards infidelity and belief in a plurality of God Almighty?” Like this Allah Almighty disclosed the innocence of the prophets (peace be upon Him) openly. He refuted those entire calumnies, which the Christians had charged falsely upon the prophets (peace be upon Him).
