Lesson
Basic principles and rule of Islam has been manifested very beautifully
in this Surah (Chapter). Some of them
are appended below, so that it should be studied thoughtfully once again keeping
these points in view, and until those are not understood thoroughly, one should
continue trying to understand them, and then explanation of such hints should
be searched during daily recitation, with which entire Glorious Qur’an is full.
· The skies, the
earth and all those things, which these contain, have been created by Allah
Almighty and He is Who brings them up. Therefore, the human being should bow
only before Him and neither there should be any hope and nor be frightened from
anyone except Him.
· Noble Qur’an is the Scripture of Allah
Almighty and it contains entire laws and complete code of life for all the
people until expiry of the entire world, for every time. There is a great
danger for them, who disobey and do not follow its Revelations. To frighten
from the result of disobedience, the Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been ordered by revealing
upon Him this Word: Go and deliver Its Message to all the people, so that they
should go upon Straight Path having fear and be saved from the destruction. This
very duty rests also upon the nation of Last Messenger (Muslim Ummah).
· Holy Qur’an preaches for that same Religion,
which was established in the beginning of human life, and the Messengers and
Prophets (peace be upon Them) used to come during every time and at every place
for spreading and teaching its regulations and instructions. In this
connection, Holy Qur’an is the last
Scripture, revealed for the guidance of humankind, and until the world is
established, complete guidance exists in It.
· None has any
power to make the Divine Law and establish It; that is to say; the Religion. Neither
any individual can fix any deed compulsory (either for himself or for others)
according to own desires and nor can forbid anyone from any work. Its straight
and simple meaning is that “Making anything lawful or forbidden is in the Power
of Allah Almighty”, no humankind can interfere in it. However, those people who
have perfect knowledge of the Religion and who have sincerity and are pure from
selfishness, they can carry on the Commands of Allah Almighty in reasonable
form according to occasion, on the condition that. Islamic spirit stands firm
and no interference takes place in the advisable customs.
· It is the
Islamic spirit that everything should be for the sake of Allah Almighty and for
acquiring His Willingness. None should reap any kind of unlawful advantage from
anyone. Neither anyone should trouble and nor press any other. Take care of
Justice in every matter and be saved from tyranny. Any such work should not be
committed, due to which, any person is somehow tortured or damaged.
The Advisable Customs are those
deeds, which have been determined by the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Himself and which are ongoing
continuously with effect from fourteen centuries, and upon which, the entire
Muslims have been using to act regularly in every time. That is to say; form,
time, terms and conditions, cleanliness and method of the prayer, number of rak-‘aat (standing erect for the
recitation of a portion of the Holy Qur’an
and bowing of the head and body in prayer, Sajuud
– bowing so as to touch the ground with the forehead in adoration, and Qa’-dah – sitting position for reciting Tashah-had), quantity of Zakaah (poor-due) and method of its
payment and collection, time and method of fasting, time of pilgrimage and its
method. These four things have been going on constantly. No one has any right
to change them. In the same manner, there is a standard of morality and mutual
affairs, which has been established by Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). These cannot be changed too. Keeping regard
of all these matters, those persons, who are righteous, sincere, familiar with
the law and shariah can make timely
codes of issues, upon which, shura
council of alike persons are agreed. These all matters are understandable from
this verse.
