Lesson
‘Atta-qaw – {did (their) duty, abstained
from}, it is from ‘ittaqaa’, which
means ‘to abstain from evils, to escape, to abide by the law’.
‘Ah-sanuu –
(did the right), it has been derived from ‘ahsaan,
which means ‘to work whole-heartily, for example; offering prayer is anyhow a
good work, but if it is offered whole-heartily then it is ‘Asaan. In the lesson # 652, it was told that strong drink and
games of chance are very bad acts, evil deeds and Satan’s handiwork, so you
should abstain from these bad habits.
It is known that as soon as the Companions
(may Allaah Almighty be agreed upon
them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) heard
this command (Strong drink and games of
chance and idols and diving arrows are only an uncleanness, of Satan’s
handiwork, so keep away from them that ye may succeed),
they ran away and broke the entire earthen vessels and jars filled with strong
drink, wherever they found. Even the wine was flowing in the streets of Madinah on that day. They got freedom forever
from strong drink in only one day. Likeness of such obedience cannot be found
in the history and anywhere in the world.
After that, it has been told about
the circumstances of those Muslims in this verse, who used to take strong drink
before its prohibition and do good works of the religion (both acts side by
side). Even that some Muslims participated in the Battle of ‘Uhud in the drunkenness condition and
were martyred.
Allaah
Almighty commands that the people, who obeyed after believing and abstained
from the evil deeds, they will not be punished due to use of strong drink and playing
games of chance before their prohibition, on the condition, they should abide
by the limits of the law as believers regularly for future, and they should carry
on doing good works regularly, and their piety should increase day by day
gradually, and their faith should be clear and bright increasingly, even that
their good deeds and worships should be proper and as of a well-mannered.
