LESSON # 458 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Result Of Hoarding
End Of Avarice
Stinginess Is Worse For
Them Who Hoard
Hoarding Will Be Collar Of
Hoarders On Doomsday
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –180 of 200,
Section –18 (Part – 4)
|
And let
not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His Bounty
think that it is better for them. Nay, It is worse for them. That which they
hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah’s is the
heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Aware of what ye
do.

Lesson
Primary part of Surah
‘Aali ‘Imraan belonged to the circumstances of the People of the
Scripture, (the Jews and the Christians). The event of the Battle of ‘Uhud had
been described in the midst of these lessons to disclose the condition of
Hypocrites. Now from here the mention about the People of the Scripture has
begun again, because the Jews used to become cause of more harmful to the
Muslims and most of the Hypocrites also belonged to this creed.
Allah Almighty commands
that those Hypocrites, who escape from the crusade of Islam out of the Jews,
they also shirk from spending their wealth in the Way of Allah Almighty. But as
it is not in their favor to get rein for some days in the world due to evading
from the religious crusade, in such a manner, hoarding by stinginess cannot be
useful for them. On the Day of Resurrection, this treasure, which they have
collected by hoarding, shall become their collar in the form of torment.
The Muslims have also been
warned that they should not slip away from paying Zakaat (Alms
and charity) and other necessary expenditures in the path of religion.
Otherwise, the person, who will adopt the custom of Hypocrites by hoarding, he
also will be punished in such a manner. It has come in the Sayings of the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), that those persons,
who do not pay Zakaat, their treasures will be put in their collars
like a frightful large serpent.
Allah Almighty has told a
determined truth that, “Allah’s is the heritage of the heavens and the earth”.
After death, you will leave every thing in this world. Therefore, every thing
will remain in the possession of Allah Almighty. If any person spends for the
cause (in the Way) of Allah Almighty, then yours will be a vast reward. Allah
Almighty knows intentions and deeds of every body. He recognizes that who
hoards and who is generous. He will grant retaliation according to the deeds.
So, each person should spend with stout heart in the Path of Allah Almighty.
LESSON # 459 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Rudeness of The Jews
The Jews’ Presumption
Arrogance Of The Hebrews
The Hebrews’ Contempt
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –181 & 182 of
200, Section –19 (Part – 4)
|
181.
Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said, (when asked for
contributions to the war): “Allah, forsooth, is poor, and we are rich!” We
shall record their saying and their slaying of the Prophets unjustly and We
shall say: Taste ye the punishment of burning!
182.
this is on account of that which your own hands have sent before (you to the
judgment) and Allah is no Oppress or of (His) bondmen.

Lesson
Another shameless villainy
of the Jews has been described in this verse. Firstly, they did not use to
spend in the Way of Allah Almighty due to hoarding. Secondly, whenever they
heard the order to spend for the cause of Allah Almighty, they rallied upon it
and became arrogant of Allah Almighty. When the verse “Man zallazii
yuq-ri-zul-laaha qar-zan hasanaaa” (Who is he, who will lend money to Allah without interest,
which will be repaid at the pleasure of the borrower) revealed, they said,
“Does Allah borrow loan from us? If it is so, then Allah is beggar and poor
(May Allah forbid), and we are rich and independent.
It needs some close
attention here that Allah Almighty named as loan to the money, which will be
spent in the good works. Doing so, He proved His perfect Mercy and Kindness. He
causes to bear the spending money (which has already been bestowed by Him to
us) for our own welfare. He will not get any profit or gain while we shall be
spending, then how can it be called “Loan”? It is only His Beneficence that He
promises to pay us best retaliation/remuneration against our spending money for
our own welfare and names this thing as loan. But the Jews began to get it as a
joke due to their wickedness instead of accepting it as Allah’s Kindness and
prated such foolish talk in the Dignity of Allah Almighty. He commands that He
has heard these saying and He shall punish them on their arrogance.
They had been slaying the
innocent and sinless Prophets. As they have spoken rude words on the
Superiority of Allah Almighty, likewise they presumed in the dignity of
Prophets also. Due to this reason, they deserved punishment of burning Fire of
the Hell.
LESSON # 460 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Quarrelsome Behavior of The
Jews
The Jews’ False
Arguments
Absurd Reasoning of The
Hebrews
The Hebrews’ Useless
Objections
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –183 & 184 of
200, Section –19 (Part – 4)
|
183.
(The same are) those who say: Lo! Allah hath ordained us that we believe not
in any messenger until he bring us an offering which fire (from heaven) shall
devour. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Messengers came unto you
before me with miracles, and with that (very miracle) which ye describe; why
then did ye slay them? (Answer that) if ye are truthful!
184.
And if they deny thee, even so did they deny messengers who were before thee,
who came with miracles and with the Scriptures and the luminous Book.

Lesson
Qurbaanin – (an offering, a sacrifice), during the ancient times, some
Messengers (peace be upon them) were given this miracle that when they used to
offer or sacrifice anything in the Name of Allah Almighty, at that time a fire
(from heaven) used to devour that particular thing. That devouring of the thing
by the fire was considered a sign of acceptance of the offering or sacrifice by
Allah Almighty. An event which belonged to Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him)
like this has been recorded in the present Bible. The Jews caught an evasion
from it and said to the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) that Allah Almighty has told them that they should not
believe in that Prophet (peace be upon him), who does not have this miracle.
It was a false evasion of
the Jews. There was no order of this type in any Scripture. Neither it exists
today, nor can it be proved in respect of every Prophet (peace be upon him).
Allah Almighty has bestowed the miracle to each Prophet (peace be upon him)
separately, which were suitable according to his circumstances respectively.
Therefore, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) said to the Jews, “If you are true to your promise and you do not
believe in any Prophet (peace be upon him) till the time that you do not see
this miracle in to him, then tell me ‘why did you slay those ancient Prophets
(peace be upon them), who had brought the tokens of their truth, and they had
also this specific miracle? The condition, which is being stipulated by you,
that is only a pretense and trick”.
Allah Almighty satisfied
His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that he would not
be sad and sorrowful due to those people’s absurd reasoning and perverseness.
Many Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) were sent before you, who
were falsified by the people.
LESSON # 461 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Taste Of Death
This Life Is Only A
Deceptive Provision Of Vanity
Every Soul Will Taste Of
Death
He Is Triumphant, Who Is
Removed From Fire
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –185 of 200,
Section –19 (Part – 4)
|
Every
soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only
that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made
to enter Paradise, he indeed is triumphant. And the life of this world is
nothing but a deceptive provision of vanity.

Wa mal-hayaa-tuddun-yaaa ‘illaa

|
Lesson
The reality has been
manifested in this verse that every living being and soul would have to taste
of death one or the other day. The creature, which is born once in the world,
mortality/death is compulsory for that. Permanence is not for any existence but
Allah Almighty. Although this truth has been cleared earlier, but here it is
being mentioned particularly for those people who hold fondly their wealth in
their arms instead of spending it in the Way of Allah Almighty and use to
collect it heaps over heaps. When they will taste of death, their entire wealth
and property, gold, silver and money will be dropped down here, in this world
and they will be buried in to their graves empty-handed. Neither their wealth
can postpone their death, nor can it keep them away from the severe bodily
suffering in their graves. Therefore, they should keep the love with Allah’s
creature, leaving the love of wealth.
mataa-‘ul-guruur – (a deceptive provision of vanity). Mataa means provisions, property,
real capital, funds etc. guruur means deceptive, alluring. The person, who is boaster, is
called proud or arrogant because he is involved in deception about himself. He
imagines something better about himself, which actually he is not.
Temporary spring and
pleasantness of life are the things of imposture. Many ignorant people forget
their future (the Day of Resurrection) due to exciting beauties and apparent
decoration, and make their aim of life only to this world. They wish to get
provision and wealth from each source either that is lawful or unlawful.
Selfishness, greed and sensuality become their habit. They consider that
success of this world is perhaps real success, whereas actual success of
humankind is to escape from the anguish of Allah Almighty and to get the
delight (Paradise). No success can be gotten remaining out from the Paradise.
Good working, worship of Allah Almighty and sacrifice make a man deserving of
the Paradise.
LESSON # 462 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Trial In Property And
Persons
Wrong Hearing From The
People Of The Scripture
Work Of Strong
Determinations Is To Ward Off (Evil)
You Will Be Tried In Your
Property And Persons
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –186 of 200,
Section –19 (Part – 4)
|
Assuredly
ye will be tried in your property and in your persons, and ye will hear much
wrong from those who were given the Scripture before you, and from the
idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward off (evil), surely it is a work of
strong determinations.

Lesson
The Muslims have been
addressed in this verse that, “As you have sacrificed earlier your property and
your persons, and you were being tried, likewise you will be tried in both
things in future too and you would have to sacrifice in each respect. Your life
may be exposed to imminent danger at any time and you would have to risk it,
you are wounded, you suffer imprisonment, Diseases and sickness attack you,
your properties are destroyed and your near relatives slip away. You would have
to bear different kinds of troubles and difficulties. You would have to hear
many wrong and vexing talks from the People of the Scripture and the Idolaters.
Remember that it is very necessary to have patience and God-fearing for passing
through these entire trials. If you will stand face to face these severities
with steadfastness and sobriety, then really it will be a work of strong
determinations.
It has been known through a
Saying of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) that this verse was revealed before the commencement of the Battle
of Badr. The order regarding war for self-defense and slaying was
revealed afterwards. However, if there is either battle or peace, it is
compulsory in all conditions to adopt patience and God-fearing.
Another Saying of the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
teaches us that this world is a paradise for the Infidels and prison for the
Believers. Its reason is that Allah Almighty puts the Muslims in different
trials to teach them the life of abstinence and piety. The Muslims fear from
God Almighty, run away from (ward off) evil and spring towards the Goodness. On
the contrary, telling a lie, backbiting, lending and borrowing money at the
interest, trying to get gain in each matter and earning through black marketing
seems (apparently) very easy to the Infidels and Hypocrites. Moreover, for the
lawful earning, a true person has to pass through very difficult paths.
The deniers of the truth oppose and hurt the good-natured people. But a person
who is of good deeds, challenges all troubles and difficulties with patience
and steadfastness. And he deserves the Paradise after bearing different trials
from Allah Almighty. In short, actual secret of success in intricacies and
calamities is hidden in two principles, which are Patience, steadfastness and
God-fearing. The person who will produce these characteristics into him, surely
he will succeed.
LESSON
# 463 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Covenant Of The People Of
The Scripture
Promise From Those Who Had
Received Scripture
Bond By The People Of The
Scripture
Who Flung The Scripture
Behind Their Backs?
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –187 of 200,
Section –19 (Part – 4)
|
And
(remember) when Allah took a solemn covenant from those who had received the
Scripture (He said): Ye are to expound it to mankind and not to hide it; but
they flung it behind their backs and bought thereby a little gain. Verily
evil is that which they have gained thereby.

|
Lesson
Miisaaqa – (a solemn covenant), it also means engagement, stipulation,
agreement, bond, treaty, vow, promise, contract, time, period, reign and
obligation. It is being mentioned here that Allah Almighty took two covenants
from the People of the Scripture:
- They would have to expound
entire truths, facts and orders stated in the Scripture before the
mankind.
- They would neither hide
anything from the
Scripture and nor tell the people something wrong.
It has been described in
this verse that a solemn covenant was taken from the scholars of the Scripture
that, “Those entire orders and glad tidings which exist in the Scripture of
Allah Almighty, were required to be delivered in front of the people very
clearly. In addition, they were forbidden to hide anything and neither they
were to differentiate in the meanings of Its verses. But they did not care,
broke their covenant with Allah Almighty for the sake of a little, contemptible and
abject gain of the world, changed the words and meanings of the Scripture, and
orders of Allah Almighty. They tried their best to hide the glad tiding
regarding the last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him). As they used to hoard their wealth and revenue, like this
they also were misers in spreading the Knowledge. They aimed only to collect
the assets and property of the world. The scholars of the Muslims have been
warned too through this verse that they should not do such deed for the worldly
rank and wealth.
An admonitory lesson exists
in this verse also for the Muslim commentators and interpreters that they
should not become criminals of hiding the verses and tokens of Allah Almighty
like those who had received the Scripture (the scholars of the Jews and the
Christians). Islam is a universal truth and it is not possible to hide this
truth. Anyhow, this truth shall become public and overcome upon entire false
religions.
Allah Almighty has told the
facts and events of previous nations for the purpose that we should get warning
from them. That, which happened with others, can be with us too. Divine nature,
that is to say; the Law of Truth remained always only one, while Allah Almighty
has commanded Himself, “Laa tab-diila li-khal-qillaah”.

Lesson
The religious scholars of
the Jews used to take bribe from the public, tell them false tenets and think
that nobody can observe their ingenuity. They used to hope that the people
would praise them that they were supreme scholars and truth loving. On the
other side, the condition of the Hypocrites was same also. They used to remain
at home hiding themselves in the situation of crusade and be pleased at their
cleverness that, “how we defended ourselves”.
When the Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) used to return from
the religious crusade, then the above mentioned people wished (by false evading
about their absence) that they might be praised by Allah’s Apostle (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described in these verses that
these kinds of activities cannot save them from the anguish of Allah Almighty,
which has been waiting for them in the world and the Hereafter.
Those depravities of the
People of the Scripture were signified in the first verse that:
· They did not stand firm and
flung the solemn covenant behind their backs, which was taken by Allah
Almighty.
· They were to expound the
truth/Scripture to the mankind and not to hide it, but they hid it and gave
false and cheap verdicts to the people. It was a very big crime to give the
false verdicts, but they did not stop here and sold their religion and faith
against a few coins, and ruined their world and Future at their own.
In what manner these people
have fallen into an idiotically misunderstanding that they become happy upon
their each lawful or unlawful deed. They think that their conduct and acts are
elevated from error. It is its result that now there is no chance of their
correction. Not only has this but they wanted to be praised for those acts,
which they have not performed. As if they did not do any duty, even then, it
was a planned scheme and they did not adopt sagacity and prudence.
Allah Almighty commanded, “Triumphing
perceptions and childish solaces of those people will not be able to save them
from the anguish of Allah Almighty. Sovereign Power of the heavens and the
earth is only for Allah Almighty. How can they go out from it and where can
they go leaving it”?

|
190.
Lo! in the creation of the heavens and the earth and (in) the difference of

Lesson
When any person of
understanding thinks about the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the
system of rising the sun in the east (the day) and its setting in the west (the
night), then he has to believe that an Omnipotent exists who created the entire
existing things. There is no such thing, which may dare before Him (the
Creator) to strike out from its circle. Such people, who meditate, use to bear
Allah Almighty in their minds morning and evening in each condition, and they
do not be careless from remembering recital of His Praise and Names.
The people who think deeply
say after remembrance and close attention, “O Our Lord! You have not created
worthless and without any purpose this entire nature of the creatures”. Surely,
this order of strange and skillful administrations will end at any magnificent
result, as though, from here, their intellect thoughts about the Day of
Resurrection, which is the last natural and logical conclusion of the present
life.
We have known from these
verses that thinking and meditating about the earth and the skies, and other
things created by Allah Almighty can be advantageous and fruitful when
resultantly the mankind turn their attention towards His remembrance and the
Day of Resurrection. Those people, who incline toward material love after
meditating in the above-mentioned things, they cannot be ‘ulil-‘albaab “the men of
understanding” (wise and learned persons), whether the people of the world
consider them the great scholars of the religion. Uncountable blandishments
appear in front of us in our daily life; when we observe them, we are
astonished and lost in wonder. We should understand from this entire God’s Work
that at last we would have to be present in the Court of the CREATOR. Everybody
should be prepared and earn instantly, which would be useful for that ‘on the
Doomsday’.

Lesson
Those people, who either do
not meditate in the tokens of Allah Almighty, or do not relate His Greatness
after even meditation and deep thought, or incline towards the love of material
due to becoming materialist, they will enter the Fire (Hell). As many days a
person will remain in the Hell, so much he will be confounded. To whom Allah
Almighty wishes to put in the Fire, he cannot find any helper so that he may be
saved.
The people, who attain
correct results after meditation and consideration in the Omnipotence of Allah
Almighty, they turn their attention towards Lord Almighty, keep Him in their
minds fresh. They say, “We have heard a crier towards Allah Almighty {Merciful
Messenger (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him)} calling to guide us
towards the goodness, Belief in Unity and worship of one God, and the Straight
Path, so we inclined and believed”.
These people pray, “Our
Lord! Forgive our big sins, and remit from us our evil deeds, and make us die
the death of the righteous, keep us along with them and reproduce us on the Day
of Resurrection with them”.
We should learn the lesson
from these verses, try to understand the knowledge of the things created by
Allah Almighty, and then keep remembering Allah Almighty with our tongues and
hearts during standing, sitting, moving and reclining, consider the creation of
the heavens and the earth, and say, “Our Lord! Glory be to Thee! Persevere us
from the doom of Fire, forgive us our sins, remit from us our evil deeds, and
make us die the death of the righteous, who invite towards the guidance and the
goodness, whether the people do not give ear towards their call. Allah Almighty
shall confer the rewards for their goodness”.

migrated and were driven forth from their homes and suffered damage for My
Cause, and fought and were slain, verily I shall remit their evil deeds from
them and verily I shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow.
A reward from Allah. And with Allah is the fairest of rewards.

Lesson
They pray from Allah
Almighty who ponder and consider thoughtfully, “O our Lord! You have promised
to us by Your Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon him)
regarding prevalence upon the Infidels in the world and dwelling place in the
Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, Keep that promise, certainly You do not
break the tryst.
Allah Almighty commands
that He does not waste the work of any worker. “As you sow so you shall reap”.
He/she shall get produce of any work, who will perform, male or female.
Everybody of you will receive complete retaliation of his/her deeds. Those
persons, who left their beloveds, relatives and native land in the Way of Allah
Almighty, caused to plunder their property and wealth, were driven forth from
their homes and suffered damage for His Cause, and fought and were slain,
verily they are such people from whom He will remit their evil deeds. Verily He
will bring them into the Gardens (Paradise) underneath which the rivers flow.
The best reward of good
deeds and labor is from Allah Almighty and with Him is the fairest of rewards.
Summary of Islam is that the mankind should remain attentive towards Allah
Almighty in each condition, what he wants to beg, that should be begged only
from Him and he/she should act upon that Guidance without any dispute which He
has bestowed upon His most gracious Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him).
LESSON # 468 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Prosperity Of The Infidels
Infidels’ Success In
Life
Mind Of Infidels That They
Are Prosperous
Good Fortune Of Infidels In
This World
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The
Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verses –196 to 198 of
200, Section –20 (Part – 4)
|
196.
Let not the vicissitude (of the success) of those who disbelieve, in the
land, deceive thee (O’ Muhammad).
197.
It is but a brief comfort. And afterwards their habitation will be Hell. And
what an ill abode.
198. But those who keep their duty to their Lord, for them are Gardens
underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever, a gift of
welcome from their Lord. And that which Allah hath in store is better for the
righteous.

Lesson
Allah Almighty has
estimated in order to find out difference between the result of Believer and
Disbeliever. The Disbelievers collect the revenue/wealth lawfully or unlawfully
and are proud upon it. The Muslims should not be deceived observing it. This
world is as a place adorned with the blooms of springs for a few days. If
someone causes to hear the punishment of execution after luxurious enjoyment
for only some days, then what will he feel? The real pleasantness of life is
that a person gets a place of pleasure for ever after suffering and bearing a
little labor. If we compare this pleasure, success and comfort with that ‘place
adorned with the blooms of springs for a few days’ then we shall be able to
know automatically that which place is better out of the two?
Those people who used to fear
from Allah Almighty, they would be given abode in the Paradise underneath which
the rivers flow, as retaliation of their good deeds. They will remain in the
Heavens forever and will be the guests of Allah Almighty. That is to say; they
would not have to think about their provision, but every thing will be provided
to them with respect in a state of ease and comfort. Reward of such fortunate
people which is held with Allah Almighty, is very better.
Although the Infidels and
the governments of the Disbelievers are seen apparently developed today, they
appear prosperous economically, they have ease and comfort of the world, but
these entire things are temporary. Their last abode will be in to the Hell. We
should not grieve observing their prosperous and development. Those people who
do not believe in Allah Almighty and His prescribed Divine Laws, they can never
be pure from selfishness. Evidently jollity can be seen everywhere, but the
enmity and envy has made among themselves too much deep room in their hearts
that neither they can take some rest during the day time nor can sleep at night
easily. Actually, they are in the condition of the agonies of death. Fear of
one another has prevailed over their hearts and the arrogance has spoiled.

Verses –199 & 200 of
200, Section –20 (Part Thee Fourth of – 4)
|
199.
And lo! of the People of the Scripture there are some who believe in Allah
and that which is revealed unto you and that which was revealed unto them,
humbling themselves before Allah; they purchase not a trifling gain at the
price of the Revelations of Allah. Verily their reward is with their Lord.
Lo! Allah is Swift to take account.
200.
O ye who believe! Endure outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe
your duty to Allah, in order that ye may succeed.

Lesson
In these verses, such
People of the Scripture have been described, who are sober and pious, who
believe in Allah Almighty correctly, who have faith in Holy Qur’an, who used to
prostrate before Allah Almighty with sincerity and humbly, who did neither hide
the glad tidings and nor changed the Commands of Allah Almighty. Verily very
much respectable reward for them is with their Lord Almighty. The Day of
Account (regarding deeds of everybody – good or bad) is not at much distance
but that is coming very soon. On that Day (of Resurrection) they will be
remunerated completely.
A collective advice has
been admonished to the Muslims at the end of this Surah (Chapter).
That is to say; if you wish to succeed in the world and the Hereafter, then
adhere upon the Obedience enduring even the harshness and the severity. Remain
away from the evil deeds and sins; show your strength, perseverance and
steadfastness against the enemies, keep protecting Islam, stand still and fight
against the enemy and observe your duty to Allah all the times and in
everything. If you did so, then it is sure that you got entire blessings and
succeeded. Allah Almighty has admonished four advices and determined them the
source of success at the end of this Surah (Chapter).
1. ‘Asbiruu - (Endure outdo all others in
endurance, be patient) means first rule of success is steadfastness.
2. Saabiruu - (be ready, instruct others
for patience and be strong in fight) make other persons accustomed of the
patience and determination too along with you.
3. Raabituu - (continue in close
contact and be united) mutual connections and strong relations are the stairs
of success.
4. ‘Attaqullaaha – (observe your duty to Allah)
God fearing and abstinence is fourth principle of success.
