Cause of disobedience

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

88a.  And Moses said: Our Lord! Lo! Thou hast given Pharaoh and his chiefs; splendor and riches in the life of the world, Our Lord! That they may lead men astray from Thy Way.

88a.  Wa  qaala  Muusaa  Rabba-naaa  ‘innaKa  ‘aa-tayta  Fir-‘aw-na  wa  mala-‘ahuu  ziina-tanw-wa  ‘am-waalan-  fil-Hayaatid-dunyaa.  Rabba-naa  li-yuzilluu  ‘an-  Sabbii-liK.

Commentary

 

It is commanded that Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) solicited: Our Lord! It seems that Pharaoh and his people will never change their way of life. They have two things, due to which; nature of the mankind becomes corrupted. They are healthy and possess food in abundance, sources of conveyance, well-built and decorated houses, wealth and property, even every thing. Until they possess these all things, ease and pleasantness of life, they will never listen to any individual, and will do that what they desire. You have given them all kinds of luxurious enjoyment. But unfortunately those things have become means of their deviation and they use force against others. They have gone astray, as well as lead others to give up the Straight Path.

It is known from this verse that wealth and property, good health, arrangements of comfort and pleasure are grant of Allah Almighty. He gives such things with His Bounty and Favor; to whom He desires. But these entire things are for testing all mankind. He wishes to see: whether the people use these things in accordance with the commands of Allah Almighty or choose the way of rebellion by strutting, become rulers themselves and begin to molest the creature of Allah Almighty.

Those people who are prosperous, they should learn from these verses that they should help the poor and insolvent people and spend their wealth and power in correcting their condition, and move forward by taking all along with themselves.

Commentary

 

Apparently it is observed that the Muslims have been scattering. Strangeness has been increasing among them and no united effort can be from them for their mutual betterment. It is clear that if an individual possesses any useful thing; but he disregards, he cannot reap advantage from it. Existence of the medicine cannot be useful for the patient if he does not take it properly. Believers of Allah Almighty have “hitting the mark to the point” medicine which is their “Belief” and by which their every disease – apparent and hidden; can be cured. But they have forgotten it by putting it in the corner of any shelf. They have perception of their calamities. They have been observing that they are being put down at every moment. Schism has been choking them. Greediness and lust have made them selfish.

Although they fulfill religious duties, offer congregational prayers; hear exhortations and accordingly pay alms and charity also, but predominant qualities of Islam are not being produced into them. No doubt that establishing mutual worship and obeying the sayings of religious leaders are good matters but notwithstanding these good acts, none says them good. In a previous verse, it has been described: “‘In  kuntum  ‘aaman-tum  Billaahi  fa-‘alayHi  tawakka-luuu” (If ye have believed in Allah then put trust in Him).

It is known that soul of all good deeds is “the Belief”. We praise Allah Almighty but do not turn our intention unto Him. We say with our tongues: “Allah only is our God” and pray for our welfare much also, but our hearts do not put trust in Him. We establish worship but our hearts are not attentive unto Him, though the Belief is joint in all Muslims, but they have put it behind their back. When there is no perception of the thing which is common in all, then there is no worship; but following the traditions and customs only. Strife and quarrel with one another mutually; is only for the purpose that we are bound of own customs separately. While the Belief is not in sight then how can they unite and why should they intend towards the service of the religion.

In the Believers; only Belief is such a thing which can bring the separated persons together. It has been explained in the above-mentioned verses: At first seek your Belief; whether it exists or otherwise. If it exists then you should put trust in Allah Almighty, live altogether in peace, establish worship at one place and pray for welfare of all community, then Mercy of Allah Almighty will descend on you and such prayers will come out from your hearts naturally, by the means of which, you will gain victory and triumph over your enemies and hypocrites.

It was described to the Children of Israel that first step of arrangement is “Belief”, after that, worship of Allah Almighty and praying from Him. Your next every step will be wrong till the time your first step is not correct.

Management for independence

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

87.  And We inspired Moses and his brother, (saying): Appoint houses for your people in Egypt and make your houses facing Qiblah, and establish worship. And give good news to the believers.

87.  Wa  ‘aw-hay-Naaa  ‘ilaa  Muusaa  wa  ‘akhii-hi  ‘an-  tabawwa-‘aa  li-Qawmi-kumaa  bi-Misraa  bu-yuutanw-waj-‘aluu  buyuuta-kum  Qibla-tanw-wa  ‘aqii-mus-Salaah.  Wa  bash-shiril-Mu’-miniin.

Commentary

 

The same Method of Organization was explained for the Children of Israel which can be of any nation; which believe in Allah Almighty. When this kind of nation is victim of others’ tyranny and oppression; it should choose this way.

In the previous verse, they were told that they should put their trust in Allah Almighty because it is biggest weapon of those who surrendered unto Him. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) said: When you all will turn towards Allah Almighty, soul of union will be born among you. You should not ask any other but Him for help. Every individual should put faith in Him only, hence all people will be engaged with the Grace of Allah Almighty in the same work for which He will command.

It is commanded: We revealed on Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them)! Build your houses collectively at one place in a part of Egypt and colonize there. Appoint your houses also as a place of worship, and establish worship congregationally, so that perception of alliance and amity into you become strong.  

The sketch of best form of the organization has been drawn in this verse. During calamity, the people forget asking one another and every person suffers from own concern. It has been described in this verse that it is easy for the believers to be assembled. Belief is the best way of producing union and alliance. If all are believers, they should incline unto obeying commands of Allah Almighty, having trust in Him. As soon as, they will give ear to the Belief, their perception of helplessness and friendlessness will be removed. After that, second thing is, establishing worship altogether (congregational). From it; they can get collective power, which cannot be gotten by any other source.

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

84.  And Moses said: O my people! If ye have believed in Allah then put trust in Him, if ye have indeed surrendered (unto Him)! 85.  So they said: In Allah we put trust. Our Lord! Make us not a lure for the wrongdoing folk- 86.  And, of Thy Mercy, save us from the folk that disbelieve.

84.  Wa  qaala  Muusaa  yaa-qawmi  ‘in  kuntum  ‘aaman-tum  Billaahi  fa-‘alayHi  tawakka-luuu  ‘in-  kuntum-  Musli-miin.. 85.  Faqaaluu  ‘alAllaahi  ta-wakkalnaa.  Rabbanaa  laa  taj-‘alnaa  fitnatal-lil-qawmiz-zaalimiin. 86.  Wa  najji-naa  bi-Rah-mati-Ka  minal-qawmil-kaafiriin.

Commentary

 

Yaa-qawmi – (O my people), actually this word was yaa-qawmii, for calling; last “i” has been frittered away, because in this condition, it has been epitomized.

Pharaoh and his supporters did not accept advice of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and began to use more force against the Children of Israel because his courtiers guided him to do so, so that, lest they rebel under the command of Moses (peace be upon him).

It is commanded that Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) said to the Children of Israel: If you believe in Allah Almighty, then you should trust in Him only. Trust is a sign that you are ready to obey the Command of Allah Almighty, and you will not turn from it due to accidental difficulties. On this, the oppressed nation (the Children of Israel) admitted: Certainly we trust in Allah Almighty and rely on Him only in this matter, and we pray: Our Lord! Give not opportunity to rebellious Pharaoh and his arrogant nation that they test their full power against us and keep us making a target of their tyranny and violence.

Our Lord! Those people are infidels who do not believe in You. If they got opportunity of oppressing us, they would leave no stone unturned in molesting to us. Our Lord! We pray in Your Court for saving us from their tyranny and getting rid of them.

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

83.  Then none believed in Moses, save some scions of his people, (and they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs, that he would persecute them. And lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the land, and lo! He verily was of the wanton.

83.  Famaaa  ‘aamana  li-Muusaaa  ‘illaa  zur-riyya-tum-min  qaw-mihii  ‘alaa  khaw-fum-min  Fir-‘awna  wa  mala-‘ihim  ‘any-yaf-tinahum.  Wa  ‘inna  Fir-‘awna  la-‘aalin-  fil-‘arz.  Wa  ‘innahuu  laminal-  musrifiin.

Commentary

 

Prophet Moses and His brother Aaron (peace be upon them) were true well-wishers of pharaoh. They wished to teach him, that he should consider thoughtfully on his condition, by causing to release him from the noose of his flatterers. But Pharaoh had acquired much power and his flatterers, who used to feel their betterment in accepting his all sayings without consciousness, were supporting him in all matters.

The nation of Moses (peace be upon him), the Children of Israel were very distressed from the tyranny of Pharaoh and used to consider that Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was their Rescuer. But due to fear of Pharaoh and his flatterer chiefs, these people did not proclaim openly about their belief. Their senior people used to consider convenience in it that seemingly they should remain followers of Pharaoh. Therefore they used to advice their people that they should not help Moses (peace be upon him) against Pharaoh.

In this verse, it is commanded: Notwithstanding, (wizards of) Pharaoh had been defeated by Moses (peace be upon him) in the competition, even then; his influence was the same as it was. The people used to fear him due to the reason: If we opposed him; he will punish us. So apparently; they remained partisans of Pharaoh, and besides some courageous youth persons, none of them proclaimed about their belief.

It is a regular practice always in the world that powerful is commander and he vanquishes his opposite movements with force, but he does not think that the people have been becoming his enemies secretly, and they will finish him as soon as they will get chance.

Commentary

 

This verse is summary of that which has been described so far. Holy Qur’aan desires to fix its principles in our mind; on which; arrangement of this world is established. Eventually, that will happen which has been explained, whether someone accepts it or otherwise. Study the history thoughtfully or recite with full attention that summary of history which Holy Qur’aan has produced before the human being. It will be obvious from the both that the person, who gained opportunity, tried to yield to the wishes of his supporters and caused to accept them with force from others. He considers disgrace in acknowledging the judgment of any other.

Now; if the other person is oppressive also like him; then it is sure that they will quarrel with each other. Pharaoh devised the same plan. He said to his people: That path is right on which we have been going. Moses (peace be upon him) wants to be the sovereign by repelling us. Therefore we would have to defeat Him.

It is commanded: When Moses (peace be upon him) observed running their ropes and sticks like terrible serpents, He (peace be upon him) said: Nothing is reality in this which you have been showing; but magic. Allah Almighty has commanded me! I destroy all of them instantly like a wrong word. Then He said: Such people who excite a disturbance in the world for keeping up their saying, Allah Almighty pulls down their entire plants and at the end, He executes which is necessary. But Allah, Honored and Glorified; does not let the selfish mischief-makers commit.

Competition against wizards

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

79.  And Pharaoh said: Bring every skillful wizard unto me. 80.  So when the wizards came, Moses said unto them: Cast your cast!

79.  Wa  qaala  Fir-‘aw-nu’-tuu-nii  bi-kulli  saa-hirin  ‘aliim. 80.  Fa-lammaa  jaaa-‘assa-ha-ratu  qaala  lahum-Muusaaa  ‘al-quu  maaa  ‘antum-mulquun.

Commentary

It is commanded that Pharaoh said to the both Prophets (Moses and Aaron - peace be upon them) that they were greedy of realm and wealth, and menaced them that he would not let them succeed. He said: I am king of this country and behold! I scheme to trouble you.

Pharaoh had already said that the both Prophets (peace be upon them) were magicians, so he said to his courtiers that there were many wizards in their country. They should bring chosen from them master wizards before Pharaoh. He said: I want to see these both wizards, who have been producing themselves in a new form, what do they do?

Complete detail of competition against the wizards has passed in Suratul-‘A’-raaf (Chapter -7). Here, the intention has been drawn unto such point only that greedy people of the world consider that others are also like them and oppose them, whereas they should think: May be that other people do not have any personal interest, and whatever they say, may be that is for our advantage. But the people entangled in the world can not be of such exalted position. They have the mind of only own office and greatness, and get ready to ruin every movement of other; considering it his selfishness.

Therefore, it has been described here that; the wizards were searched and called according to the order of Pharaoh, who stood before Moses (peace be upon him) for competition. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) said to them: Bring forth whatever you wish to cast.
