Lesson
Zaalika – (this) it is a demonstrative
pronoun and it signifies towards the matter of previous verse, namely Tamatta’
(to perform Hajj and Umrah duly joined). Aim of the verse is that
the permission to gain the Hajj and Umrah duly joined is only for the
foreigners, not for the residents of Makkah.
Haa-ziril-Masjidil-Haraam – (the
folk who are present at the Inviolable Place of
Worship, the persons who live near the Khana Ka’-ba). It means the
entire natives of Makkah and its vicinity. That is to say, all people
living with in the limits of Meeqaat.
Meeqaat – that place is called Meeqaat
from where the limits of Haram begin and it is required to intend for
Hajj and Umrah, and fasten (wear) the (dress of) ‘Ihraam reaching
there. Meeqaat is separate in
various directions for the persons coming for performing the Hajj in the Inviolable
Place of Worship from all around the
world.
Watta-qullaaha – (observe your
duty to Allah) that is to say, keep the concept of presence and fear of the God
Almighty in front because foundation of all the goodness is this Piety. Think
once again that God-fearing is being demanded after every command/order.
Shadiidul- ‘iqaab – (severe
in punishment) the Scholars of the religion say that the word Shadiid (severe)
has been used particularly here with ‘Iqaab (the punishment) for
the reason that ‘as any person acts goodness at the very Sacred Place i.e. the
Inviolable Place of Worship (BaytUllah), he gets more reward, likewise
if he commits any sin after reaching here, then he will also be punished more
severely due to Sacred Place respectively.
It is the condition for that concession which was given in the
previous lesson. The concession was, “If the people wish to perform the Hajj
and Umrah duly united then they can do so. However they would have to
sacrifice according to their power. Permission for uniting the Hajj and Umrah
is only for those persons who are not the residents of Makkah and its
surrounding villages”. With this Order it has been declared again that the real
thing is the God-fearing. It is necessary to keep in sight at the time of
obeying each order, performing any duty/worship and pleasure of the God
Almighty, because purpose of the entire Orders/Commands is purity of the
spirit/soul and completion of the morality/manners. These are the highest
orders and Commands from the God Almighty on which foundation of the Islamic
life is standing. If any body will try to change or deny them then the God
Almighty will punish him severely.
