Lesson
wasa-‘ah has been derived from sa-‘a-tan,
which means accommodation, capacity. It also aims ‘wideness, prosperity,
opening and hilarity’. Here it signifies towards extent of livelihood and daily
food, and extension of acting upon the religion.
Yudrik – (overtake), this word is from ‘adraak, which means ‘to get, to
understand, to hold’. Here it aims ‘to overtake’.
waqa-‘a – (incumbent), to become
important, to approach. It is from waquu’,
which means ‘to occur’. In this verse a word ‘alaaa has come after waqa-‘a. Therefore, now its meaning will become
‘to be incumbent (on). As sometimes we say, “I have to do this work, that is to
say; it is necessary and incumbent for me to do that particular work”.
It was told in the earlier verses that the person, who has belief in his
heart, it is compulsory for him to act like Muslims. This pretense “We in that
case were under influence of other persons and those cruel people did not use
to permit us to do good deeds” will not be heard from any healthy and able to
work person. Therefore, it was commanded to them, “If you are entangled in such
a country, whose people prevent you from acting upon the religion, then you
should migrate from that place and live in such an independent country, where
you may be free to do independently.
It has been described in this verse, “Nobody should be afraid that if he
leaves present residential place, he doesn’t know, whether he will find any
place or not, whether food will be attainable or not”. It has been comforted here,
“If you will migrate from such a place of suffocation, for acting upon the
religion of Allaah Almighty independently,
then you will find much livelihood, refuge and
abundance in the earth. The person, who will leave his family, household goods
and native land in accordance with the Instructions of Allaah Almighty and for His cause with true heart, Allaah Almighty will not let him to be
distressed. He will never feel any deficiency in eating and drinking. Observe after
working purely for Allaah Almighty.
He will save you surely from the confusions. If you think, “What will happen,
if I die in the way”, then have belief that your reward and good retaliation is
incumbent on Allaah Almighty in such
a condition”, because you have migrated from your country for His Cause. He is
Ever-Forgiving sins of believers and Merciful.
