Lesson
It
has been ordered to the believers after describing the matrimonial laws and
punishments of their disobedience that the people should not squander others’
wealth in vanity, for example; do not plunder the wealth of other people unjust
through telling a lie, treachery, theft or plundering and lottery etc. However,
if you trade by mutual consent or participate in any business, then it is lawful
for you to take the wealth of one another by mutual willingness.
Second
order, in this regard is “And kill not
one another.” Injustice murder of any other Muslim brothers is unlawful.
Then it has been described that “Allah is ever
Merciful unto you” Who reveals such orders, due to which neither any person can
squander the wealth of any other person in vanity, nor he can kill someone
unlawfully. These entire Instructions are for your goodness only.
The person, who does against these orders of
Allah Almighty, that is to say; if he/she either squanders the wealth of others
in vanity, by using force or tyranny, or kills someone, then his/her abode is
Hell. It is not difficult for Allah Almighty to throw the tyrants in the Fire
of Hell, but it is very easy and simple for Him. Therefore, in view of the
above, you should refrain from tyrannizing someone because we are Muslims. If
we shall tyrannize any person, we would be thrown into the Hell.
In addition, we should keep in view that Allah
Almighty is Creator and Master of the entire creatures. No power can stop Him
from doing justice and punishing the evildoers and neither He shell favor someone
improper, nor will He use force unlawful against anyone.
