Lesson
Quru-baatin
– (nearness),
this word is plural of qurbatun, which means “nearness”. Here it aims “a
means of nearness”.
Salawaatun
– (the Blessings),
it is plural of the word Salaatun. Prayers of Sage and Pious people for
others are called Salawaat, praying, Du’aa).
It was
described earlier that some wandering Arabs are unfortunate from the side of
their good manners; being deprived of civilized surroundings, education and
training. If they have to expend anything for the Cause of Allah Almighty, they
make faces and curse the Muslims that: they should be ruined, they give us trouble.
Its
reason is that they are ignorant from their Creator, Allah Almighty; and
consider that only they are everything. If they believe in Allah Almighty, accounts
of the Day of Resurrection, and reward or punishment against good or evil
deeds, then it is impossible that they may talk so stupidly.
Contrary to
them, some villagers/wandering Arabs are good also. They are not influenced from
bad atmosphere of the village due to their good nature. They are sure that
Allah Almighty is Rightful and True, and certainly the Day of Resurrection will
come, and we shall be rewarded or punished on that Day according to our deeds. In
this verse, those people have been mentioned.
It is
commanded: Among the wandering Arabs, there are some good people too. Their natural
purity does not let them deprived of good works and fair thoughts. They believe
in Allah Almighty (God) and the Last Day (the Day of Resurrection), and
whatever they expend, consider it a means of nearness to Allah Almighty and His
Pleasure. And they take it a source of Blessings from the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam).
Listen to it that their
hope shall be fulfilled. And Allah Almighty will bestow them His nearness.
Blessings of God’s Messenger (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)
will remove their difficulties and relieve them from all kinds of distress. God
Almighty will forgive their sins and errors, and bring them into His Mercy,
because He is Forging and Merciful.
