Lesson
It
was described previously that those people who are rich and have dignity, do
not let them do their work, who say true and straight. They conspire in such a
way that those persons who say the truth, neither they may advance and nor their
matter may ever be promoted.
The
influential people of Makkah used to do this practice and had become so
much rebellious that they used to say to the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): we are rich and honorable. If there
were messengers, those would be we. Neither You are rich, nor famous and nor
have dignity, how have You been Messenger? They have been replied in this
verse.
It
is commanded: Observe their condition. When Our Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) brings unto them any verse or token, they say
moving their head proudly: we shall never believe in Your sayings till we are
inspired also as the Messengers (peace be upon Them) are inspired. And about
that which you say: we should also be given that which Allah’s Messengers are
given because we are more deserving of messenger-hood than You being wealthy
and influential.
Allah
Almighty commands: Say to them O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him)! Allah Almighty has more knowledge than you about that person, who
is more deserving of Messenger-hood and with whom to place His message. There is
no value of being rich and high with Allah Almighty. You, who are drunk with
wealth, reject the truth and say flippantly: If Allah desires to guide us, He will
send His message directly unto us through His Angels. We do not accept the
sayings of the people like You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
(God forbid).
You
will be cursed by Allah Almighty due to the retaliation of your flippancy and
haughtiness. Humiliation from Allah and heavy punishment will smite you being guilty
of your scheming. Your treacheries, schemes, frauds and lack-ness of gravity
will bloom. You will live in the middle of nowhere during this worldly life and
taste most severe punishment in the Day of Resurrection.
Allah
– how much a strange and intoxicant thing is this wealth of the world and
dignity that a mankind becomes quite blind and deaf? As long it does not fall
to someone’s lot, neither the eyes are opened and nor the ears. Allah Almighty
save all of us from this misfortune and disaster, and teach the rich correct
use of the wealth. Amen (so be it).
