Lesson
Tukallafu – it is from
Takliif that means, to put any burden
upon someone, to make liable for any responsibility, to compel any person to do
the work, for which he will be answerable. Mu-kallafun
means responsible. Here the aim from the word Laa
tukallafu is ‘You will not be held responsible’.
Harrizun
- this word
has been derived from Tahriiz, which
means ‘to lift up, to urge on, to incline for some kind of work, to raise and
to emphasize’.
Tankiil
- (to punish, to place in torment)
It
was admonished in the earlier verses that there was no cause to fear from the
fight. While everybody has to taste the death, then why should not one die like
the brave men? In the verse it has been ordered to the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him), “If the Hypocrites do not be ready for fighting, then
you have no concern with them. Come out yourselves, whether any person from
them follows you or not. However, continue to urge them without fail. You are
not taxed with the responsibility for anyone except yourself. Your only duty is
to tell them. Allaah Almighty is your
Supporter. It is peradventure that He will restrain your enemies being
over-awed from your might, after the act of your coming out for war. Bear in
mind that none can fight with Allaah
Almighty. He is Stronger in inflicting punishment. Trust in Him only.
Then
it is being commanded that the person, who intervenes in a good cause, he/she
will have the reward thereof, and whoso intervenes in an evil cause, he/she will
bear the consequence thereof. It has also been pointed out in this verse that
the best method to excite the people for any work is that the individual should
begin that particular work first before them.
