BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

111. Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers
their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs. They fight in
the Way of Allah and so they slay and are slain. It is a promise which is
binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’aan. And who
fulfilleth his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that
ye have made. And that is the supreme triumph.

Lesson
Baaya’-tum – (you made bargain), it is past tense, origin of
which is mubaa-yatu. This word has been derived from bay-‘a. Bay-‘a
means selling and purchasing. Mubaa-yatu means - making bargain with
someone else, barter, trafficking by exchange of commodities.
This verse is summary of the Religion Islam and known from it also is
that Islam is such Religion; teachings of which were delivered to the people by
all Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) during their times
respectively. And which Scripture was revealed on every Prophet and Messenger
(peace be upon Him), in it, the same teachings had been produced.
There is a dire need to meditate in the text of this
verse. It is commanded: Which Religion has been determined for the human being,
that is very easy. If the mankind will use his sense, he will behold that
nothing is difficult in it. Which Messenger (peace be upon Him) came in which
duration to save the humankind from straying (due to which; all difficulties
come in the life), He (peace be upon Him) said to His people: Believe in Allah
Almighty (God) wholeheartedly, then understand it properly that Allah Almighty
is desirous from you that you should live in this world according to the
covenant; you made with Him. Sell your lives and wealth to Allah Almighty,
which means that whenever, He command you about anything, produce your lives
and wealth immediately to obey His order, whether you are slain or your wealth
remains no more. In both forms, you will deserve the Gardens (Paradise) for
obeying His command. It is a promise; which is binding on Him, mentioned in Torah,
Gospel and Qur’aan. None can be truer
than Allah Almighty in fulfilling the promise. So you should be happy that you
have made bargain with Him, sold your lives and wealth to Him; and purchased Paradise
from Him. It is such a great success, against which; all other accidental successes
are worthless.
