A brief note on 30^th Chapter

Chapter “RUUM”- (The Romans) - 30

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

Those people who have full trust in Allaah Almighty and have faith in His Promises with true hearts, surely they are successful. Its proof is those few people who used to bear great physical and spiritual afflictions from the hands of Infidels and Idolaters of Makkah. We seldom see such patience and firmness in the history of the world, but it happened only with those people; whose hearts had taken such deep concept of the Greatness and Glory, Mercy and Favor of Allaah Almighty that it could not be removed. Their faith and belief had become so much strong that there could not be seen any deficiency in any side. How can such belief be produced? Its only way is - listening to the verses of Holy Qur’an and meditating into them, observing the manners of Muhammad, the last Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and following them. The Muslims were beaten by the Infidels, caused to lie down in sunlight, their skin was burnt by hot stones, they kept them hungry, broke relationship from them, threw away alone and in addition they cursed, reproached and taunted them very much. In short they afflicted them so much that it cannot be explained.

But the slaves of Allaah Almighty endured every trouble without complaining. They did not leave the companionship of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). The attraction which united them with the Messenger, was that:

“The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was undergoing the same calamities himself along with them, and he also was in the same condition in which his companions were without showing artificiality. When he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) used to recite the verses of Holy Qur’an before the people, he himself used to be impressed and manifest his belief in such a way that their hearts used to tremble with fear, embodied picture of truth and honesty used to come before their eyes. They had such rare satisfaction which cannot be seen anywhere. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) did not have so much wealth on account of which he could make the people his companions; even he was passing his life in poverty. Whatsoever was given to him by the people; was spent at the spot for their welfare”.  

By the fortune of the verses of Holy Qur’an and mediation of having full trust in the Promises of Allaah Almighty, we too recite and hear those verses nowadays, but save only honoring we do nothing. As we hear, those who make us to hear are also alike but what Allaah wills. Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his Companions (May Allaah be pleased with them) were not like us. Every word of Holy Qur’an used to take their hearts as a letter of the alphabet is engraved upon any metal sheet. They used to understand their meanings very carefully. By this Chapter they learnt enduring in troubles, having trust in Allaah Almighty and being fearless from foes. At last the world saw that what they were and what they became.
