Lesson
It was ordered in the primary
verses of previous Section, “Take not the Jews and the
Christians for friends”. This order has also been delivered in the beginning of
this Section, but with a little difference. The reason of this command has been
explained here more clearly, and other infidels have also been included in this
category, because the root of the behavior of the both (the people of the
Scripture and the Infidels) is the same.
It is commanded that you have
believed in Allaah Almighty. Believing
in Allaah Almighty is, believing in
this advice that all the human beings are servants of Allaah Almighty, so all are equal in this respect. Everyone should
be provided necessary things according to one’s necessity. Neither anyone
should make the other his own slave and nor anyone should be the slave of any
other but Allaah Almighty.
Therefore, you are advised that
you should not rely on the friendship of those people, who call themselves “the
Jews, the Christians” and those who received the Scripture before you, because
they make a jest of your religion and take your thoughts in the sense of absurd,
and take not your way of life other than a sport.
This foul imagination has taken
place in their heart that they are most superior and best of all, and all of others
should remain under their pressure. Think with wisdom now! Can harmony, deep relationship
and true friendship be between you and them? Never, so you should keep your
footing in your belief and do not fear anyone but Allaah Almighty.
Like them, there are other
infidels also. It is their old rule to loot one another, to keep others under
influence and make them slaves. They also look their death in Islam like the
Jews and the Christians. They can never be your guardians. We knew from it that
the people, who insult the religions of one another, cannot be friends of each
other.
In short, everyone has right of
freedom in religion and imaginations. A mutual agreement is necessary for
provision of the necessities of life to everybody of the world according to one’s
desires and a treaty of safety and peace. Then all people can live in the world
satisfactorily.
