Lesson
Tawallaa
– (turned away), it means ‘to disobey, to revolt’.
Hafiizun
– (a warder, a guard), that is to say; the Watching, who
hinders and the protector.
A valuable
advantage has been mentioned in this verse, which, due to coming of the last
Messenger of Allah Almighty in this world (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him), can be attained by the people. It is the fruit of faith that those
people, who have believed in Allah Almighty as ‘there and the entire worlds’
Creator, Preserver, Nourisher and Supplier of all needs’, surely they want to
obey Him. How a great light is for them in it that Allah Almighty sent a Man
duly appointed as His selected Messenger (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him), and proclaimed that the person, who will obey his
orders, he will Our obedient and who will disobey Him, he will be considered as
he disobeyed Us. He will not be able to please Us (Allah Almighty) through any
other method. How a big kindness of Allah Almighty is that He made too much easy
and practicable His own obedience for the mankind.
Then He
commanded to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), “Carry
on to tell the people those instructions, which they have to do. If someone
does not act upon your sayings, in this matter you are not responsible. We have
not appointed you as a warder or guard over them. We will
decide about these disobedient people at Our Own. You should neither grieve and
nor care for them”. Alas! Some people understand that they can make their life
good by following the rich, the proud and the haughty persons, leaving such a kind
and loving Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
Allah
Almighty has established this principle forever in this verse that the person,
who wants to be Our obedient, he should obey Our Messenger, and who will not
obey the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), he is Our
disobedient. He will be punished with the same torment, which has been fixed
for the disobedient. In the earlier verses, it has been told clearly that if
the punishment is awarded to you, that will be from Allah Almighty and cause of
it will be your own deeds. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) can neither be held responsible, nor does the blame rest upon him (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
There is
also an invitation towards the easy path for the human being in this verse, as
well as a vigorous threat too along with it. If you will obey the Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), then your life
of this world and the Hereafter will be correct, because due to obedience you
will become obedient servant of Allah Almighty and there is nothing more than
it to decorate the life. Moreover, if you will disobey, then you should not
charge the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for being
punished. The only duty of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) is to deliver the Message of Allah Almighty. It does not include in
his duty to drive you forcibly on the Straight Path. Due to disobeying the
orders of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), you
disobeyed Allah Almighty. Now He will punish you Personally.
