Lesson
Tilka ‘ummatun – (Those are a people, a religious sect)
it signifies towards the Ancestors of the children of Israel, of whom they used
to get names and used to claim as their followers, although this claim of
theirs was wrong. These astray, unlucky people had no relation with those great
respectable Prophets (peace be upon Them) except their names.
The children of Israel were much proud that they were from the
race of Prophets (peace be upon Them). So they had made this false faith
themselves that there is no need of personal good acts. It is sufficient for
freedom from the Hell being out of the children of the Prophets (peace be upon
Them). They thought that the God Almighty transfers the good acts of father
towards children with His blessing. Due to this wrong faith they had become
careless entirely from doing the good acts, and had involved in all kinds of
sins, evildoings and disobedience.
The Holy Qur’an
cut the root of their false belief and commanded about the law of God Almighty
that each individual and group will get what he has earned himself. Neither the
good act of someone reaches the other nor will anyone be answerable for
evildoing of the others. Relationship of the Ancestors will neither be useful
without one’s personal try and nor freedom can be gotten. There is great lesson
for them who have been fallen into the trap of misunderstanding, “Although we
have not done good acts, even then the good acts of our Ancestors will be
useful for us, and our this world and Hereafter will be arranged”. The Holy
Qur’an tells that from good acts of your Ancestors you can not get advantage.
You should take care yourself and follow Them. Their lives are roll model of
good acts for you. By following them you will be able to do good deeds.
Out of us if any
body will be involved in this misunderstanding that greatness of good birth or
relation with any pious person may be sufficient for him then he should let
this thought to get out from his heart. Only one’s personal deeds will be
useful in front of Allah Almighty. All the human beings will be responsible for
their duties and responsibilities.
