Lesson
Hawaayaaa – (the entrails), this word is
plural of Hawiy-yah, which has been derived from Hawaaa. Hawaaa
means “to surround, to envelope anything inside. Hawiy-yah is the thing,
which is wrapped around with any other thing to hide in the wrapper. Here it
aims “the entrails”, which cling with one another along-with the attachment of
fat.
This description is under
discussion since previous verses that the individual, who believes that someone
else has power to fix the things forbidden or legal, is an idolater. It is the
basic concept of Islam that neither any person is empower and nor any other
should be taken as he can determine the laws and rules for him/her, or he can
make law for any field of his/her life except Allah Almighty.
There is none Law-maker for
humankind but Allah Almighty. The entire social, collective, economic and
political laws are based on the Commands of Allah Almighty. That law, which has
not been made on this foundation, will never be acceptable. In this connection,
it is to admonish that neither can you determine anything lawful and nor
prohibited.
Allah Almighty has prescribed the
Rule that all the things are legal for human being except those which have been
forbidden by Allah Almighty Himself. Those things were mentioned in the
previous verse, which were forbidden for food or any other use. It has been
described in this verse to explain about His (God’s) Power that He forbade the
Jews from the use of some lawful things due to their disobedience and
rebellion.
It is commanded: We forbade every
that animal unto the Children of Israel, which does not have the fingers
separately from one another; for instance the camel, and the fat of the cows,
goats and the sheep, but that fat of these cattle was not forbidden, which was
upon their backs, bones or with the entrails, for the reason that they were
mischievous and used to disobey Allah Almighty.
Allah Almighty says: “Lo! We
verily are Truthful”. This command of Allah Almighty is due to the purpose that
the Jews used to say: These things were not forbidden for us only because of disobedience,
but these have been coming forbidden with effect from the times of Prophets
Noah and Abraham (peace be upon Them). This matter has been explained clearly
in the beginning of Part – 4 (Lan
Tanaaluu) of Holy Quran.
