Lesson
‘As-Silmi – (Islam) literal
meanings of Salama are truce and peace. And this word comes opposite to
war. The Commentators of the religion have taken the meaning of ‘as-Silmi
here as Islam. The masters of the dictionary have also accepted this meaning of
it.
Kaaaffah – (one and all,
entire) matter of this word is kafafa which means ‘to stop’. Kaaaffah
means ‘enter into Islam completely and obey the Islam in all respects.
Khutuwaati – (the footsteps) its
singular is Khutuh, which means the footsteps i.e. obedience and Compliance.
Situation of the Revelation of this verse is that a few Jews embraced
Islam but they also continued compliance the Jewish religion along with Islamic
Divine, for example to consider the Saturday as a holy day, to deem the meat and
milk of camel as forbidden and recite the Torah etc. Then some people used to
make any false belief by themselves or consider sacred their any act and
include their self made faiths in the religion along with the Islamic Divine.
Allah almighty revealed this verse to stop obeying other orders along with the Islamic
orders, and commanded that ‘enter, into submission (unto Him) one and all’.
That is to say; neither make false beliefs yourselves, nor follow the myths,
nor execute the other teachings and nor that either any thing you do not like
or that which seems difficult to you, not to believe on it.
Islam is neither only the name of a few beliefs, nor it is the collection
of a few prayers (worships), but it is the most perfect, superior and fine code
for the entire life. It guides in each field of life, fulfills all requirements
of human nature, shows favor in orders keeping in view his weaknesses, guides
rightly to reach the destination and instructs to get the supreme success of the
religion and the world. So it is necessary to embrace Islam whole heartedly.
Moral, social, economical and political means in every field of life, it is
necessary to obey the Islamic laws.
The People who don’t do so, though they follow the devil’s
footsteps even he is their open enemy. To hope for good from him is extremely
foolish and ignorant. The Islam and the Infidelity can’t remain together. So either
become completely the slaves of The Merciful otherwise you have to follow the
footsteps of the Devil, which is the only loss forever.
