Lesson
Saaa-‘ihuuna – (pilgrims, wayfarers, travelers), this word is a
subject and plural of saaa-‘ih from the word siaa-hat. Siaa-hat
means “walking about hither and thither”. Great travelers do not stay anywhere
permanently, but keep wandering in cities and countries. Therefore, they do not
have any firm relationship with any individual anywhere. It aims that the
Muslim does not establish permanent relationship with the world and lives like
wayfarers.
It was explained in the previous verse that the matter of a Believer
with Allah Almighty is as “One is seller and One is purchaser”. The Believer
sells his life and wealth to Allah Almighty and He purchases it, and as its
price; He gives the Believer “Paradise in the Hereafter”. After purchasing life
and wealth of the Believer, Allah Almighty lets remained it with him, with the
condition that “whenever he will be asked to expend it, he will expend it
unhesitatingly according to God’s commandment, and he will not care of living
or dying and being a poor.
It has been narrated in this verse that in such Believer, whosoever
makes this kind of bargain with Allah Almighty wholeheartedly, following
attributes are born:
· He repents immediately if erred.
· He remains busy in the service (worship)
of Allah Almighty.
· He praises Allah Almighty with his
tongue, conduct and style.
· He considers that he is a great traveler
and wayfarer in the world, and reaps advantage from worldly things as and when
required; like them but remains without connection from them.
· He bow down before Allah Almighty
with humility and falls prostrate.
· He enjoins the right and forbids the
wrong.
· He guards the limits of Allah
Almighty and does not cross them in any matter.
Those people
who make such bargain with Allah Almighty and remain firm on above mentioned
attributes, are however, Believers. It is being commanded to the Messenger of
God Almighty (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)
that he should give glad tidings to such Believers “and they will be successful
in the both Worlds”.
The reality of
the Religion (Islam) has been manifested completely in above mentioned two
verses (111 & 112). After drawing full plan regarding “how the religious
people live in this world” has been produced before us. The individual, who desires
to understand Islam, should meditate in these verses.
