Lessons 338 to 349
LESSON # 338 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Original Religion - Islam
Islam Is Fundamental Religion
Real Religion Is Islam
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 19a of 200,
Section –2 (One Half of Part – 3)
|
Lo! religion with
Allah (is) the Surrender (Al-Islam) (to His Will and Guidance).
|
‘Innad-Diina
‘indallaahil- ‘Islaam.
|
Lesson
‘al- ‘Islaam – ( believing in the religion of Allah, obedience), literal meaning
of Islam is ‘to deliver oneself over’. Due to this respect this religion causes
to say Islam, because a Muslim affirms to bow his neck before the orders of
Allah Almighty and entrust himself completely to One Most High God Almighty, as
though Islam is the name of “Accepting” and Muslim-hood (Mussulmani) as
“Obedience).
Diinun – This word has two meanings,
a. Retaliation
b. Religion
It means that method of meditation and
action which is foundation for consideration and deeds of a person and nation.
The Way of life which Allah Almighty has liked for His servants (Human beings),
that is Islam, that is to say; subjection and obedience, whose perfect and last
form clarifies in the world by Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him).
In reality, all former Prophets (peace
be upon them) brought the same religion named Islam. But in this regard which
perfect in all respect, collective and universal commands and guidelines have
been delivered by the last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him), those have preference in many ways from
ancient religious laws. Therefore, these were called with the name of Islam in
a special color. However, it has been proclaimed in this verse before specially
Christians of Syria (Najraan) and commonly before the entire world that
religion is only the name of one thing, that is, the person should surrender
himself to Allah Almighty whole heartedly, and whatever order is delivered by
Him, he should obey it without any hesitation.
Now those people who say the Prophet
Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) as son of Allah Almighty (Let us flee to
Allah), eat pork, slaughter the Prophets (peace be upon them), try to remove
the true religion despite the good news from Prophet Moses and Jesus (peace be
upon them), envy the true Prophet (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon
them), Have these people any right to say themselves followers of religion of
Abraham (peace be upon them)?
For perfect example good attitude of
Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), auspicious lives of Prophet Christ and
Moses (peace be upon them) and in the last, very sacred life of last Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) are complete role
models for the humankind. Banishment of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him),
opposing Nimrud, leaving alone his (peace be upon them) innocent child and wife
in the wilderness and without water valley for pleasure of Allah Almighty,
being prepared to sacrifice his (peace be upon them) son Ishmael in the Way of
Allah Almighty. All these things enlighten his (peace be upon him) activeness
for pleasure of Allah Almighty.
Enduring torture of enemies of God
Almighty by the Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him), migrating from his native land, fighting in the Path of Allah Almighty,
clarify perfect subjection and obedience. These are the great and holy persons,
who are imitable for human beings in all respect and to follow them is called
Islam and obedience. May Allah Almighty make us able to do so. Aameen.
LESSON # 339 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Cause Of Misunderstanding
Reason Of Difference
Why Contrtadiction
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 19b of 200,
Section –2 (Part – 3)
|
Those who
(formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto
them, through transgression among themselves. And whoso disbelieveth the
Revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is Swift at reckoning.
|
Wa
makhtalafal-laziina ‘uutul-Kitaaba ‘illaa mim-
ba’-di maa jaaa-‘ahumul-‘ilmu bagyam- baynahum.
Wa many-yakfur bi- ‘Aayaatillaahi fa-
‘in-nallaaha Sarii- ‘ul-hisaab.
|
Lesson
It has been manifested in the previous
lesson that Islam is a bright and clear Truth. From which kind of arguments
Messenger-hood of Prophet Moses, Jesus (peace be upon them), Torah and Gospel
as Heavenly Scripture can be proved, better than it, strong and live proofs
exist regarding Messenger-hood of Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) and The Word Of Allah i.e Holy Qur’an. But
their own Scriptures are giving evidence about the truth of Last Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him).
Oneness of God Almighty is an obvious
and understood subject. Contrary to Oneness, Ideology of Father and Son (God
and Jesus) is only a meaningless thing. No scientific principle corroborates
it. Now those persons, who believe in any one of the four Inspired Holy Books
of Allah Almighty, falsify these conspicuous facts. If due to enmity of Islam
they disobey the commands of Allah Almighty, then what can we say more about
them that they are doing so due to only opposite, envy, obstinacy, greediness
of rank and grandeur.
The dissension took place between the
Christians and Jews or many sects raised out of them. Then the adversity put to
end on reciprocal terrifying quarrels and wars. The history tells that its
purpose was not only misunderstanding or ignorance. But at most times these
sectarian contradictions grew due to love of wealth and property.
Those people who deny the orders of
Allah Almighty, their punishment has also been told, that is to say; Allah
Almighty will reckon these bad acts and mischief. And He will punish them
severely. They will have to face the punishment in this world as well as on the
Day of Resurrection.
Cause of such severe punishment is
their enmity and disobedience. Woe is me that they differed at that time when
the Knowledge came before them and the Reality disclosed. They did not join the
truth when the reality was clear. But they opposed also the just due to only
mutual opposite and enmity. The verses of Allah Almighty came before them, but
they closed their eyes and went to the path of infidelity and denial. They
forgot that, “Allah is Swift at reckoning”.
LESSON # 340 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Duty Of Messenger Is Only To Convey The
Message
Only Preaching Is The Duty Of
Prophet
Only Conveying The Message Is Duty Of
Apostle
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 20 of 200,
Section –2 (Part – 3)
|
And if they argue
with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so
have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have rejected the Scripture
and those who read not: Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then
truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty
only to convey the message (unto them). And Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.

Wallaahu Basiirum-

|
Lesson
‘al-‘ummiy-yiina – (those who can not read, illiterate persons), here it aims the
Idolaters of Al-Makkah, who did not know about the Heavenly
Scriptures. Thus, except some counted persons all habitants of this sacred city
were illiterate and ignorant.
‘al-balaag – (to convey (the message), intent from this word is to comfort the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him),
that “if these people do not believe, then you should not be thoughtful. Your
job is to convey the message and invite only. It is not your responsibility to
cause them to believe”.
The followers of the Scripture used to
wrangle that “we are also Muslims”. They are being described in this verse that
likewise hypothetical Islam is useless. Islam is that, which is held with the
Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) and his followers ((may Allah Almighty be pleased upon them). That is to
say, the humankind should handover himself to Islam with the whole. Look at
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him),
the refugees (Muhajirin) and habitants of Al-Madinah (Ansaar)
(may Allah Almighty be pleased upon them). They sacrificed themselves, their
wealth, children and wives, to the extent their entire desired and beloved things
for the pleasure of Allah Almighty confronting the polytheism, immorality,
wickedness and tyranny. Their eyes wait each time for the command of Allah
Almighty that no sooner they receive any order, than they obey it. Contrary to
them, look at yourselves; while you are alone, you accept that the Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is on the right
path. Nevertheless, you think, “if we believe in his Messenger-hood, the wealth
and property of the world is snatched”. Anyhow, after knowing the truth
if you will not believe, that is your will, we have already
believed.
After that the Idolaters are told,
“Have you surrendered too or ready to surrender? If you surrender even now,
then truly you are rightly guided, and if you turn away, then it is our duty
only to preach Islam, to teach you distinction between good and bad, and to
convey the message of Allah Almighty unto you. Allah Almighty knows internal
and external circumstances of all”.
LESSON # 341 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Wicked Deeds Of The Infidels
Tricks Of Non-Believers In Allah
Mischievous Behavior Of Infidels
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 21 & 22 of
200, Section –3 (Part – 3)
|
21. Lo! those
who disbelieve the Revelations of Allah, and slay the Prophets wrongfully,
and slay those of mankind who enjoin equity; promise them a painful doom.
22. Those are
they whose works have come to naught in the world and the Hereafter; and they
shall have no helpers.

22. ‘Ulaaa-

|
Lesson
ya’-muruuna bil-qisti – (who enjoin equity), that is to say they guide the people for
morality, manners and courtesy, preach for justice in mutual matters and are
their true companions.
The Christians of Najraan (Syria)
and other Infidels are being told in this verse that it is very big tyranny to
fight against the Messengers (peace be upon them), other pious and Just loving
persons, to quarrel with the religious advisers and slaughter them with cruelty
being non-believers in Allah Almighty. They will be punished severely.
It has been known from a Saying of the
Prophet of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
that the children of Israel martyred 43 (forty three) Prophets (peace be upon
them) and 170 (one hundred seventy) righteous persons in a day and likewise
they were counted in the list of criminals. Holy Qur’an is presenting these
entire happenings for the purpose that those who say themselves the obedient of
Allah Almighty should meditate that how much their ancestors were evil-doers.
Deprive will be for them in this world and Hereafter. Their entire deeds will
be of no avail and they will also be punished severely on the Day of
Resurrection, and they will find there no companion or helper.
There are many things for our
admonition in these events. We should escape ourselves completely from those
sins and evils (crimes) which were committed by the past nations, so that the
punishment in which they were arrested, that would not be revealed upon us. It
is necessary for us that we should not disobey the orders of Allah Almighty,
should not oppress the pious and righteous. Moreover, we should remain on
the Straight Path so that we may be successful in this world as well as
on the Day of Resurrection.
LESSON # 342 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
False Faith Of Christians
Untrue Doctrine Of Christians
Wrong Belief Of Christians
Followers Of Christ Who Have False
Belief
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 23 & 24 of
200, Section –3 (Part – 3)
|
Hast thou not seen
how those who were given a portion of the Scripture are called to the
Scripture of Allah (in their disputes) that it may judge between them; then a
faction of them turn away, being opposed (to it).
24. that is
because they say: The Fire will not touch us save for a certain number of
days. And that which they used to invent hath deceived them regarding their
religion.

Lesson
It has been described in these verses
that when they are invited to come towards Holy Qur’an, which has been
revealed according to the mentioned good news in their Holy Scriptures and It
has correct decision power of their contradictions and differences. Then some
of their religious scholars turn away, whereas invitation towards Holy Qur’an
is actually the invitation towards Torah and Gospel.
These people turn their faces from the
guidelines and orders of their own Scripture and make changes in to them
in accord with their wishes. Neither they care for the good news revealed in
the Scriptures and nor believe in the predictions mentioned there.
Then it was told that the reason of
their too much strong desire towards evils and crimes is that they are entirely
fearless from the punishment to be awarded by Allah Almighty. They have
invented at their own different types of precepts and doctrines. Out of them,
one thought is that at first, they would never be punished, and if they were
punished, that would be only for a few days. Christians had made another false
doctrine crossing all others. That is to say: Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)
has already been punished against all sinners and evil-doers. (Allah Almighty
preserve us from this type of thinking, because He (Allah Almighty) is
not unjust that the criminal escapes and the innocent is punished).
LESSON # 343 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Each soul will get what it earned
Result Of Deeds On Doomsday
As You Sow So You Shall Reap (In
Hereafter)
Tit (In Futurity) For Tat (Earned In
World)
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 25 of 200,
Section –3 (Part – 3)
|
How (will it be with
them) when We have brought them all together to a Day of which there is no
doubt, when every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned, and they
will not be wronged.

Fa-kayfa
‘izaa jama’-naahum li-Yawmil-laa rayba fiih.
Wa wuffi-yat kullu nafsim-maa kasabat wa

|
Lesson
From the beginning of this Surah the
learned persons of the Scripture are being addressed. Particularly the
Christians are being invited towards the Last Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) and His True Book (Holy Qur’an) again and
again. But their behavior remained always to falsify each true and pious person
and opposed them. They reached to the extent that they massacred the Prophets
of Allah Almighty (peace be upon them).
On the other hand, the extent of their
faith’s feebleness is that they consider themselves so much innocent that the
Fire of Hell will not touch them. And if they are thrown even in to the Hell,
they will remain there only for a few days. It is their personal doubt. This
matter does not have any relation with the reality. How can a person escape
from punishment, who has committed any sin or evil?
Allah Almighty has drawn their
attention towards the Day of Resurrection and Its horrible results in this
verse. He Commands, “Why are you forgetting that particular Day, when the
entire mankind will be collected? How can be any doubt about the situation of
that Day? Besides the Holy Qur’an, this belief also comprises in the parts of
all religions.
On the Doomsday every person will get
complete retaliation of his/her deeds. It has been revealed in the Holy Qur’an,
“Famany-ya’-mal misqaala zar-ratin-
khayrany-yarah. Wa many-ya’-mal misqaala zar-ratin-
sharrany-yarah”. (And whoso doeth
good an atom’s weight will see it then. And whoso doeth ill an atom’s weight
will see it then). Nobody can escape from the results of deeds/actions.
Last sentence of the verse is “wa hum laa yuzlamuun” (and they will not be wronged). Each atom will be reckoned
and result of most ordinary work will be in front. If the humankind remembers,
he will never think about the sin/evil/crime.
LESSON # 344 FROM
HOLY QUR’AN
Ability Of Allah To Do All Things
Allah Is The Most Powerful
Supreme In Power Is Allah
God Has Sovereign Authority Over The
Universe
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 26 of 200, Section
–3 (Part – 3)
|
Say: O Allah! Owner
of Sovereignty! Thou givest sovereignty unto whom Thou wilt, and Thou
withdrawest sovereignty from whom Thou wilt. Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt,
and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt. In Thy hand is the good. Lo! Thou art Able
to do all things.

|
Lesson
Maalikal-Mulki – (Owner of Sovereignty), Allah Almighty has described about this
virtue of His Ownership particularly for the purpose so that the human being
should perceive about His Powers and Strength. The humankind should not forget
the Real Owner
(Allah Almighty) in the intoxication of his temporary and transitory worldly power, influence and dignity. So that four days’ moving shadow may not make him careless from the commands of Supreme Commander (Allah Almighty).
(Allah Almighty) in the intoxication of his temporary and transitory worldly power, influence and dignity. So that four days’ moving shadow may not make him careless from the commands of Supreme Commander (Allah Almighty).
This verse of Holy Qur’an has a
specific Peculiarity. That is, “there is description about Perfect Power of
Allah Almighty and utmost limit of inability and helplessness of the human
being in the manner that nobody can deny”. It is the reason that our
Muslim devotees use to tell their followers about this verse for repeating it
as daily worship.
If there is need to mention this verse
in connection with the Christians’ body of delegates from Najraan (Syria),
then we shall relate it as, “O Christian Scholars! You are proud upon the honor
and sovereignty of the kings, understand it well that entire sovereign of all
the world and Owner of the dignity is Allah Almighty. Every thing is in His
Hand. He gives to whom He wills and withdraws from whom He wishes. Allah
Almighty has shown practical demonstration of this reality to the entire world,
while He made owner of the treasures of Roman and Persian sovereignty to an
inferior and poor group (of newly Muslims). Then what is the material kingdom
and honor?
Allah Almighty transferred last place
of spiritual sovereignty and honor i.e. Prophet-hood from the children of
Israel to the children of Ishmael. The words of this verse are taught to the
Muslims in the form of supplication. And it explained that the persons who were
poor, they will become owners of the sovereignty due to their faith, and who
were kings, they will fell in disgrace due to their bad acts. The good (of all
kinds) is In the Hand of Allah Almighty. He is Able to do all things.
LESSON # 345 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Divine Power Of Allah
Omnipotence Of God
Allah Is Omnipotent
All-Powerful Is God Almighty
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 27 of 200, Section
–3 (Part – 3)
|
Thou causest
the night to pass into the day, and Thou causest the day to pass into the
night. And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead, and Thou bringest
forth the dead from the living, and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou
choosest, without stint.

tukhrijul-hayya minal-mayyiti wa tukhrijul-mayyita
minal-hayyi wa tarzuqu man- tashaaa-‘u
bi-gayri hisaab.
|
Lesson
This verse is also common with the
previous in meanings and comprehension. Allah Almighty described His power and
discretion in the previous verse that He is able to do all things. He gives
honor, glory and government to whom He wills, and lets fall in disgrace and
baseness to whom He wishes. He has repeated in the present verse too the
reality that each type of change and possession in the world depends upon His
pleasure. He causes the night to pass into the day, and the day to pass into
the night and changes the weathers i.e. winter, spring, summer and autumn.
Sometime He decreases the night, increases the day and then increases night,
and decreases the day. For example, the day becomes of fourteen hours and the
night of ten hours (in summer), and after some period the day becomes of ten
hours and the night of fourteen hours (in winter). These all changes are in His
Hand. The moon, the sun and stars cannot move a little without His consent and
plan.
Besides increasing and decreasing the
days and nights, He brings forth the living from the dead, and the dead from
the living. First example is likewise to bear the bird from an egg and living
child from the seminal fluid of male and female, and second example is likewise
egg from the animal and the seminal liquid from men and women. He produces a
learned person from the illiterate and a complete person from the unsound.
The children of Israel used to understand
that the nobleness and seniority, which they had, would remain forever. They
should know that Allah Almighty is Able to give honor and sovereignty to whom
He wishes and Can snatch these things from whom He wills. If He desires to grow
any perfect person between the ignorant, He is Able to do so, as He bore the
Last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) between
the ignorant of Arab. The treasures of provision are also held in His control.
He bestows countless and immoderate (wealth) to whom He wishes. The humankind
cannot count His distinguishing, favors and honors.
LESSON # 346 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
No Friendship With Disbelievers
Disbelievers Are Not Your Friends
Friendship With Disbelievers Is
Forbidden
Amity With Disbelievers
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 28 of 200, Section
–3 (Part – 3)
|
Let not the
believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers.
Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but
guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security. And Allah
biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. And unto Allah is the
journeying.

|
Lesson
It was told in the previous lesson that
Allah Almighty is Able to give honor and sovereignty to whom He wishes and Can
snatch these things from whom He wills. Each kind of government and empire,
prestige, honor and possession are in His control. Therefore, it does not suit
the Muslims, who really believe in Him, if they increase friendship voluntarily
or without knowledge with the disbelievers, enemies of Allah Almighty, and
Infidels, leaving their Muslim brothers or considering them not enough. The
enemies of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) can never become their friends. One who opposes it, should think
about himself that he has no concern with the love of Allah Almighty. Entire
hopes of a Muslim should be related only to Allah Almighty.
Three forms of good behavior are
possible into the Humankind:
1. Friendship
2. Apparent politeness
3. Kindness and doing well
Religious Scholars have told that first
form that is to say; real friendship with the Infidels is unlawful in all
conditions. Third form (Kindness and doing well) is legal only with those
Infidels who would never be ready to fight with the Muslims. Second form
(Apparent politeness) is legal only under three conditions:
For self protection
Trying him to be in Islam
In the form that you are a host, it
means that when any Infidel comes to you as a guest.
Besides these, three forms, friendship
is not allowed anyway to get personal advantage or wealth, but when there is
danger that he will put obstacles in the way of religion then also no
friendship is allowed.
Allah Almighty frightens the Muslims
from His torment who keep friendship with the Infidels so that they would bear
in mind that at last every person will have to go back towards Him. He will
reward or punish in accord with one’s deeds and it will not be possible to
escape from His grasp.
LESSON # 347 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Repentance Of the Infidels
Longing Of Evil-Doers
Shame Of Disbelievers
Sorrow For Sinners
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 29 & 30 of 200,
Section –3 (Part – 3)
|
29. Say, (O
Muhammad): Whether ye hide that which is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah
knoweth it. And He knoweth that which is in the heavens and that which is in
the earth. And Allah is Able to do all things.
30. On the
Day when every soul will find itself confronted with all that it hath done of
good and all that it hath done of evil; (every soul) will long that there
might be a mighty space of distance between it and that (evil). And Allah
biddeth you beware of Him. And Allah is Full of pity for (His)
bondmen.

|
Lesson
It has been described in these verses,
“it is possible that a person may hide that which is his/her heart, but he/she
neither can hide anything as such from Allah Almighty nor can cheat Him”.
Knowledge of Allah Almighty is much vast than his/her thinking, He Knows every
thing in the heavens and the earth. Even that any atom of the universe does not
exist out of his Knowledge. On the Day of Resurrection, each goodness and
badness of the entire persons will be before them. Character book of the entire
life will be handed over to each person. At that time evil-doers and sinners
will long for it, “would that the bad acts remained away from us in the world”.
But, “It is useless to cry over spilt milk”. Allah Almighty warns through His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in these words:
“Abstain from the evils and escape from those deeds which are forbidden. Do not
hold dear to the Infidels”. It is Kindness of Allah Almighty that He terrifies
us repeatedly from that horrible Day before time so that we may turn towards
goodness leaving the badness. It is obligatory upon us that we should consider
thoughtfully these orders of Allah Almighty, be saved from wickedness, badness
and evils, be inclined towards good works, adopt the sobriety, fear always from
Allah Almighty and cause to pass our lives in piety.
LESSON # 348 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
Obey His Prophet To Love Allah
Following Up The Last Messenger
If You Love God, Follow His Prophet
Be Follower Of Last Apostle For God’s
Love
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of
‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse – 31 & 32 of 200,
Section –4 (Part – 3)
|
31. Say, (O
Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and
forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
32. Say: Obey
Allah and the Messenger. But if they turn away, lo! Allah loveth not the
disbelievers (in His guidance).

Lesson
Allah Almighty forbade from friendship
with the disbelievers in the previous verses. Now it is being commanded that
you should love Allah Almighty, but standard for love with Allah Almighty is
hidden in perfect obedience and complete following up His last Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). That is to say; if you wish to
see, “Who loves his/her Real Lord, then he would be examined with the proof of
obedience to Muhammad, the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him)”. How much a person follows the steps of
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), he
comprehends the Prophet’s brought Light (Islam) as Flambeau of the Straight
Path and follows this Light, as much his/her belief will be perfect.
He will get reward of love with Prophet
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that Allah Almighty will begin
loving that person. Due to blessing of obeying the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him), his previous sins will be forgiven and in future, he
will deserve kindness and special attention of Allah Almighty. As though, there
is no possibility of love by God Almighty for him without obeying the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
The children of Israel and the
Christians used to say, “We are the sons and beloved of God”. Here it has been
declared that the denier of Muhammad, Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) of Allah cannot be His beloved. Whoever wants to become the
beloved of Allah, he should carry out the orders of Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him).
The Muslim Devotees have presented an
astonishing point from it that Allah Almighty has recommended for His lovers,
“If you claim that you love Me then follow My lover, Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him). Resultantly I shall become
your lover and ignore your mistakes.” He also warned, “If you did not obey Allah
Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him),
then you will be counted in disbelievers and Allah does not keep the deniers
friend.

Lesson
‘Aala-‘Imraana – (Family of Imran), two famous persons named Imran passed
away in the history. One was father of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) named Imran
bin Baseer. The second (many centuries later) was father of Mary (razii
Allaahu ‘anhaa), named Imran bin Matan, maternal grandfather of Jesus
Christ (peace be upon him). Here both persons may be inferred. Most scholars
and philosophers have understood here the second Imran, because
there is description about him in the succeeding verses of this Surah (chapter).
‘Aa-dama – (Adam), Allah Almighty created the earth, the skies and the entire
universe with His vast Divine Power. His biggest creature is Adam (peace be
upon him), who was made collection of many spiritual and corporeal excellence.
Allah Almighty ordered the Angels (peace be upon them) to do prostration to
Adam for telling dignity of his existence to the universe. He was chosen for
prophet-hood. Later on it was given to Prophet Shiis and Noah (peace be upon
them) respectively. Then it reached Messenger Abraham (peace be upon him) step
by step. After Adam and Noah (peace be upon them), the people who remained in
this world, they all were descendants of these two Prophets (peace be upon
them). Then Allah Almighty selected Prophet Abraham and his family to bestow
them the grade of Prophet-hood like Adam and Noah (peace be upon them), and the
Prophets (peace be upon them), came after them, they all were from the race of
two sons of Abraham (peace be upon him) i.e. Isaac and Ishmael (peace be upon
them).
Zurriy-yatam- ba’-zuhaa mim-ba’-z – (They were descendants one of
another), order of genealogy runs through the side of father. Prophet Jesus
(peace be upon him) was born without father. So it might be thought that he
(peace be upon him) could not be counted from the race of Abraham (peace be
upon him). Therefore, Allah Almighty informed by revealing the words Zurriy-yatam- ba’-zuhaa
mim-ba’-z that these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were
descendants one of another. Because Imran, the father of Mary was
from the race of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them). Consequently, it proved
that none Prophet is out of the family of Abraham (peace be upon
them).
By describing Samii-‘un ‘Aliim, it is pointed out that Allah Almighty is Hearer of all the
supplications and sayings. He knows concealed and outward circumstances of all.
Nothing is hidden from Him. He is informed about reality and characteristics of
all persons. Therefore, His selection cannot be incomplete or wrong.
