Lesson
In the
collective development of the nation, the Hypocrites interrupt as much that it is
not committed by any other. Apparently these people show that they are with you
(the community), also they remain ahead than others in acknowledging one’s
superiority without understanding. But their hearts hate the collective activities.
Resultantly, when any important occasion of congregational work comes, at that
time; they desire to keep aloof from supporting the community by making lame
excuses and evade in such a way, which cannot be given any importance by a
sincere person.
They neither
wish to provide any financial aid for public welfare works and nor bear any
physical trouble, although they reap advantages of various sorts by the means
of community, but keep conspiracy with external enemies against it. And often
they persuade them that “Attack on our country, we shall help you (the enemies)
and leaving the people of own country, we shall join you openly”.
Nowadays too,
nearly every country is facing such people. And in the beginning of Islam, the
Muslims had to bear many troubles and hardships due to this kind of people. However,
because national and congregational balance was weighty, due to which; they
were defeated; otherwise they had left no stone unturned from their side to
ruin the Muslims. It has been explained in this verse that, what they did at
the time of preparation for the Battle of Tabuuk.
It is
commanded that their hearts were never with the Muslims. At such occasion, when
it was demanded that they should sacrifice their lives and wealth (both) for
supporting the nation and go forth, then their spirits were left and by making
excuses, they came unto the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) for taking permission to stay at
home.
Messenger
of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam) permitted them
considering that they were speaking the truth. Then they were very happy and
began to say the people: Who have told you to travel in the deserts and forests
during such hot weather?
Consider thoughtfully
for a while, the entire nation is trying collectively to save their honor and
name, and these people are thinking about hot and cold. Such people are selfish
who prevent the nation from going forth, only for their temporary comfort and
ease.
