Lesson
Allah Almighty commands: O Prophet
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)! Those captives who have been
captured by the Muslims in the Battle of Badr,
and some of them who desire to enter in Islam, You should say to them! At this
time, you can be freed from imprisonment only after paying the ransom. This is
not the occasion of knowing about the reality of your Islam. You should deposit
the ransom if you wish to go to your homes. After that God Almighty will
examine you. If you entered in Islam really, wholeheartedly, and your
intentions are observed fair, then He will give you too much that; comparing to
which; this money; which you are going to pay as ransom for saving your lives, will
be valueless. And along with it, He will forgive your previous errors and past
sins also, because; as He is Forgiving, He is Merciful too. And He does not
delay in Forgiving.
And if, O Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him)! The evil is in their hearts and at this time;
they wish to accomplish their desires by betraying you, then it is not a big
matter. They have betrayed God Almighty even in the past and broken their
covenant after making it.
At first; they broke the covenant
which was made by their souls i.e. when God Almighty asked from the entire
human souls: Am I not your Lord? They all replied! You are our Lord. After
coming in this world, they denied from accepting Him their Lord and involved in
infidelity and ascribing plurality to Him.
Then, some of them are such people who
are Banu Hashim and they promised
before Abu Talib {paternal uncle of
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)}: We shall support and
side with Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) against the
Infidels of Makkah. And today, they
have come with the idolaters of Makkah
to fight against You; breaking their treaty. God Almighty knows that which is
in their hearts and He understands: How to deal with every individual. He will
handle them properly.
Such covenant made by God Almighty
was fulfilled. Those people who embraced Islam; their children performed as
kings in the world. But those people, who did not become Muslims; they were
destroyed.
