Lesson
Ballig –
this word is from tabliig, which
means “communicating the message, carrying the message of Allaah Almighty to non-believers; preaching Islam”. Another word ‘Balaag’ has also been derived from it,
which means ‘communication or delivery of a message’. Risaa-latah – ‘The Message’, any
written thing, which is required to be delivered to other people. The word Rasuul, has been derived from it, which
means ‘the Messenger of Allaah
Almighty (peace be upon Him).
It has been described many times
from the very first that Allaah
Almighty revealed many Scriptures in the world. The main aim of the Revelations
was that, those people should act upon their commands and hold them fast, for
whom those Scriptures were revealed. Before the revelation of Holy Qur-‘aan, the Torah was revealed on the Messenger
Moses (peace be upon Him), in which there were all kinds of necessary and clear
Instructions about “How to dwell in the world” in those days, the Psalms of David
(peace be upon Him), (these both Scriptures were revealed for the Jews), and the
Gospel was revealed on the Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) with the same
basic commands but some needful amendments, which were considered necessary by Allaah Almighty due to human improvement
with the passage of time. But the Jews and the Christians did not act upon
them.
At the end, the last Scripture
i.e. Holy Qur-‘aan was revealed, and it
represented the commands of all previous Scriptures as true. And those commands
were either kept in the same manner or all were gathered with necessary
amendments, which were suitable for these people of the last time. And complete
Rules of Practice was given to the mankind duly prepared. Now this Scripture is
sufficient for the guidance of the human beings until the Day of Resurrection. It
has been ordered in all previous Scriptures to believe in this last Scripture. So,
if the Jews and the Christians had acted upon their own Scripture then it was
incumbent for them that they would have believed in the truth of Holy Qur’-aan and the last Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and obeyed Him, then they would be best
people today. They would have obtained all the blessings of the earth and skies
in the world and lived in ease and comfort on the Day of Resurrection. They would
have obtained deliverance from the entire evils and bad presage of the sins. But
alas! They did not do so, but gripped their loins to oppose the Messenger
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the last Scripture
i.e. Holy Qur’-aan, and began to
trouble the Muslims. They injured the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him), left no omission in their wickedness, mischief, quarrel and
fighting against the Muslims, and supported the Infidels of Makkah, when they were fighting against
the Muslims.
In the previous verse, after
causing to understand many commands, Allaah
Almighty addresses His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him), “It is a matter of no consequence if either people believe or do not
believe. You should not be grief due to their wickedness. Certainly the Holy Qur-‘aan is a collection of good advices
for the mankind. If the people do not believe in it, then it is their stupidity
and foolishness”.
If the giver is sure that he has a
thing which is advantageous and profitable for all, but the person, who has to
take it, refuses from taking it, then nothing can be seen in him except his
folly. These people have made up their mind that they will take only that
thing, which is useful particularly for them only. What can be more stupidity
of a mankind than it? Surely they, who know, will like that thing, which is
useful equally for all, and will desire only the quantity of profit, which is
equal to others.
That person, who wants that he
should receive everything and leave other entire persons longing, is an animal
like dogs and beasts of prey. And the person, who wishes that he and his friend
should take only but remaining all people should remain entreating, is like a
crow, but he is also mere an animal. It is suitable for the human being that he
should take to the extent of his need only, after providing with the
necessities of every person. Advantage of everyone is in it only and the
dependence of the morality is also only upon it. It is the fundamental stone of
that Revelation, which was revealed upon the Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him). It is compulsory to communicate this Message
to the entire human beings, whether they understand it or not. So it has been
admonished strictly in this verse.
Allaah
Almighty commands, “O Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)! Make known (the people, entire) that,
which has been revealed unto You from Your Lord” (verbally as well as acting upon
it too), because these are the actual meanings of conveying the Message. Otherwise,
saying by tongue only, but acting not upon it by oneself, does not have any
sense. If You did not convey this Message properly, this responsibility will
remain on Your charge and it will be said, “You did not render the due of this
Message”. However, those people, who do not listen to You and oppose, You should
not have any concern with them. They can never harm You, but will harm
themselves. Allaah Almighty will
protect you from them and preserve you from their wickedness.
“You should not be efficacious
from it that neither they listen to you, nor obey you. It is luck of everyone. Some
are fortunate, while the others have bad luck. The wealth like Belief is not in
their fate, because it has been known due to their disobedience of Allaah’s Word that they have adopted the
path of infidelity and they like to remain Infidels. It is the Divine’s Law
that the ways of guidance have been closed for them, who desire to remain
Infidels.
A clear command comes out from
this lesson for the Muslims that they should produce themselves by making themselves
a pattern of Islam, then invite the people for it. If they will not do so, they
will be culprits of two crimes. At first, that they did not act upon it themselves
and secondly, they did not fulfill their duty to carry the Message of Islam to
non-believers.
