Lesson - 1
The lessons of Surah ‘Al-Maaa-‘idah have finished with
the last lesson, now we are going to review it and see the lessons taught by the
Chapter (Surah) under discussion.
Actually, it’s all contents
revolve around only one topic. We can reap full advantage from this Surah; live a happy and successful life,
if we understand that particular topic.
It is inborn nature of the human
being that he desires to complete his every wish without any hindrance. He thinks
that he should make any such plan, what he wills, that may be done and there
should be no stoppage in its attainment. Moreover, everyone should regard his
assent, follow him and help him in gaining his object. The Holy Qur’aan accepts this nature, but
educates along with it that independence of everybody should be bound of any
rule and plan; otherwise he is an animal, not a mankind.
This rule is called “Law” and it
has been made by Him, Who created the human being (The Creator). Accepting it,
is called “the Belief”. The name of that Law is “Holy Quran” and Its Maker is Allaah Almighty. In the beginning of
this Chapter, it has been commanded “Abide by the Law”. It has been told in
this manner that the name of accepting, Allaah
and Quran, is “Belief”. Complete your responsibilities. It means “your personal
freedom is nothing before “this Law” and there can be none maker of the Law but
Allaah Almighty. It is the first sign
of the Belief, without which nobody can say him/herself “a Believer”.
It is the condition to enforce the
Law that some traditions are established, and then everyone is admonished that
none should do against these customs. It is the responsibility of the entire
nation as aggregate to watch this matter. In short, the Maker of the rules of
Law is Allaah Almighty, but the
responsibility of watching them is upon the entire nation.
It is known that the real things,
which need special attention in the world, are four: (1) Allaah Almighty (2) His Messenger (peace be upon Him) and the Law
i.e. Holy Qur’aan and the Sayings of
the Messenger (peace be upon Him), which explain this Law (3) The living being (mankind) (4) The entire nation.
Allaah
Almighty and Holy Qur’aan are Eternal,
Immovable and Unchangeable at Their own places. Mutual relations between the
living being and the society are required to be established according to the
principles commanded by Them (Allaah
Almighty and Holy Qur’aan). It is duty
of the society to arrange properly for every person to cause to understand the
Law perfectly, and that is called Education.
It is the duty of the living being
(every person) that he/she should be bound to act according to the
traditions/customs, established by the society, and when one observes that any
tradition has become contrary to the Law, then one should inform the society
properly and leave that tradition personally. This lesson has been caused to
understand in this Surah and
commanded that ancient nations erred in either understanding or acting upon
them. Those errors have been manifested, so that we may be saved from them.
