Lesson
Those commands, which have been described,
in that connection, some more orders have been mentioned in this verse. It is
commanded that believing in Allah Almighty is, as though, fulfilling the
covenant that we shall obey Your (God’s) entire commands without any dispute.
It cannot be so, that one believes in Allah Almighty, even then, disobeys Him.
Actually that person has not believed in Allah Almighty, who disobeyed Him.
That individual took responsibility to obey, who believed. So you should
fulfill this covenant.
These commands are being caused to
hear you so that you may remember your covenant and may not slip after
accepting. One more object to recite this command is that the Straight Path of
Allah Almighty may be obvious upon you. Therefore, you should listen to those,
which verses are being recited before you; it is the prescribed Straight Path
of Allah Almighty. It was taught you in Surah ‘Al-Faatihah (Chapter – 1)
that you should pray from Allah Almighty: ‘Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqiim. (Show us the Straight Path).
Now that Straight Path has been manifested on you. So you should hold fast this
Path. If you will go the way other than this, you will go astray.
It is learnt from this verse that
the Muslims should be saved from their mutual dissensions because one Religion
and one Path has been fixed for them and they have been guided to remain firm
on It. If they differed, then it is clear that they all will go separate paths
instead of adopting One Path. Support of union and badness of division comes
out from this lesson.
In above three verses, principles
of successful life have been explained for the mankind. When you will recite
these blessed verses, you will have no doubt in it that “if the sense of humankind
does not work in the light of these verses, then it can do nothing except that
it goes in the darkness catching the finger of Satan.
It is the only way of deliverance
of the human life from calamities that he should go Straight Path with complete
belief. These are the entire rules of human culture, upon which, human perfection,
mental, economic, collective and political development depends. The commands
have been described in the verses along-with their aims itself, which are as
under:
La- ‘allakum
ta’-qiluun – (in order that you may use your sense and wisdom).
La- ‘allakum
tazakkaruun – (that haply you may learn entire matters regarding your own
goodness).
La-‘allakum
tattaquun – (that you may be saved from all kinds of evil and wicked deeds)
Summary of it is appended below:
· Ascribe nothing as partner unto Allah Almighty. Practical result of
it is that neither the mankind should flatter nor be afraid from any person,
moreover he should have faith that neither anyone can give me anything, nor can
snatch. I can respect everyone in the world considering that we all are equal,
but my Greatest and Lord is none save Allah Almighty and nor there is any
reason that I fear from anyone except Him, because without His Order, all are as
helpless as I am.
· Do good to parents. Here it is commanded that you should do good with closest
kinsfolk, but considering from it is not too much difficult that relationship
of the human being does not end here, but it spreads in the entire world
gradually. Therefore, every mankind deserves everyone’s good behavior step by
step.
· Slay not your children in any case. The Arabs used to
kill their children, but according to this verse, the hidden killing has also
been forbidden, i.e. habituating the children to commit evil for the purpose of
earning, because, cause of both reasons is fear of poverty. After preventing
from it, Allah Almighty commands: Don’t worry; We give livelihood. It is the
verification of the wise people that the society; that is to say; the assembly
of the humankind is viceroy of Allah Almighty in the world. So it is the duty
of human being that he should do all those works, for which Allah Almighty has
taken responsibility.
· Draw not nigh to lewd things. It means that all those immortal deeds, which induce unreasonable
desires, have been forbidden.
· Don’t kill any person until the law does not order.
· Don’t embezzle the wealth of orphans, but you should protect
it, till they reach maturity. There is a command in it about the safety of life and
wealth of all weak and old people, and the society i.e. viceroys of the Creator
should perform this duty.
· Do justice among mutual affairs; give full measure and full
weight.
· Establish the Religion mutually all together because you have made
covenant with Allah Almighty.
· It is the demand of the
Religion that Muslims should never be disunited.
