Lesson
laa tulquu bi-‘aydii-kum
‘ilat-tahlukah – (cast not (yourselves) by your own hands
to ruin) there was the command about fighting and strive (qataal & jihaad)
in the previous verses, and it has been ordered to spend the wealth for the
cause of God Almighty before this sentence of this verse. As though it is the
command of the God Almighty that whenever there is a need to strive for the
country and nation, and the sacrifice of the wealth is required, don’t show the
avarice, and don’t stop your hands to spend the wealth for the cause of Allah.
If you will do so, then it will be like that you will cut your own feet, you
will slaughter yourselves. Doing so, not only it will harm the nation and
country, but the defeat of the nation will be your own defeat and the harm of
the religion will be your decline.
Some persons take its meaning wrong, “plunge not into the danger
intentionally and don’t put your life into the risky affairs”. This motive is
entirely not from this sentence, it is true, but neither there is situation of
it and nor it has been mentioned here.
Commanding for the fighting and the strive, it has been
prescribed upon the Muslims in the earlier verses that they should sacrifice
their lives in the way of God Almighty, fight the enemies of His religion to
raise it. If the Idolaters and Infidels resist their work, then they should fight
also against them and elevate upon them their swords to stop the cruelty. In
this verse the God Almighty has ordered to spend their wealth for the Cause of
Allah Almighty.
Sacrifice of the lives is required to crush the enemies and to
press the mischief and the rebellion, so that the soldiers of God Almighty
plunge into the battlefield keeping their lives on their palms, with full
excitement of Islam without caring of their death and slaughter, and strive for
the only one purpose ‘Raising the name of Allah Almighty’. For this intention
spending the wealth and property is needed at the second stage, so that the
arms, weapons and equipment for the war may be bought, security may be provided
to the left behind family members of the soldiers, necessities of life of the
martyrs’ children and widows may be completed, eating and drinking items for
the Army may be amassed and goods of ration may be stored in case of being
besieged.
‘ahsinuuu – (do good) the
meanings of ‘ih-saan (favour, kindness) are “to do good behaviour and goodness”. It
aims that what would you do, that should be done with good intention and sincerity.
Don’t do any work only as bringing down the forced labour (taken without wages
or remuneration) and paying debt. Also that nothing can become hindrance in the
good behaviour during fighting and strive (qataal & jihaad).
The Messenger of God Almighty preached so more for the good behaviour that
while you begin to sacrifice the animal, and then do so that it feels the pain
at the very least too.
