Trial of the Children of Israel

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

93.  And We verily did allot unto the Children of Israel a fixed abode, and did provide them with good things; and they differed not until the knowledge came unto them. Lo! Thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.

93.  Wa  laqad  baw-wa’-Naa  Baniii- ‘Israaa-‘iila  Mu-bawwa-‘a  sidqinw-wa  razaq-Naa-hum-minat-tayyi-baat.  Fa-makh-talafuu  hattaa  jaaa-‘a-humul-‘ilm.  ‘Inna  Rabbaka  yaqzii  bay-nahum  Yawmal- Qiyaa-mati  fiimaa  kaanuu  fiihi  yakh-talifuun.

Commentary

 

It is commanded: We ruined Pharaoh; together with his Army and the way was opened on the Children of Israel; that they might dwell; wherever they wished and take good things of that place. Torah was given to them in which those all matters were discussed; to which they would have to follow and cause to run the world. As soon as these people were set free, became obstinate. They put Torah behind their back and gave up hearing the instructions of their Prophets (peace be upon them).

All doors were opened for them as soon as Pharaoh was destroyed. They were able to take Egypt in possession; if they wished, but they were commanded that they should populate Palestine and spread the light of knowledge and intellectual development of the people. Syria was under the possession of Amaalqah. The Children of Israel feared from them and denied from Jihad (crusade). They wandered in desert and jungle for forty years. Meanwhile, at first Prophet Aaron (peace be upon him) departed and then Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). And those who denied from Jihad, died also. Then their descendents conquered the country Syria under leadership of Prophet Yusha’ (peace be upon him) and there very powerful kings were born from them.

But the Children of Israel adopted the same way of insurrection; which was adopted by their ancestors. Commandments of Torah were changed, they had been divided into many classes and fault finding began among themselves. Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) came to reprove them with mildness but they disobeyed Him (peace be upon him). It is commanded: Thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.

Admonition from Pharaoh

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

91.  What! Now! When hitherto thou hast rebelled and been of the wrongdoers? 92.  So this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a portent for those after thee. And lo! Most of mankind are heedless of Our Portents.

Commentary

 

Rebellious human being does not accept exhortation of any person. Here, the story of a Pharaoh is being narrated but in the world, you will observe the same everywhere. The people like Pharaoh and his supporters have been trying to rule the entire world, and who comes in their way, they become ready to fight and defeat him. When any other powerful person overcomes and they become helpless then they lose their sense. When they feel that they have been dying then they say: We accept, forgive us. But their previous wicked deeds do not permit that they should be forgiven.

It is commanded that when Allah Almighty seized Pharaoh and he was near to die, then he said: I believe that only Allah is Omnipotent. The Children of Israel were right and I was wrong. At that time, it was told to him: If you had performed any good during your kingship, then pity was your right. Whereas, you gripped up your loins to disobey and did nothing but oppression and violence in the world. Now having pity on you is like ensnaring others in hardship.

But because you have declared with your tongue that you are obedient, therefore after drowning your body will be saved from water and it will be thrown on the bank of the sea, so that the people may see you lying helpless and understand that none has any power against Allah Almighty. Therefore, every human being should be only His obedient. Your body will also be a portent of Our Omnipotence in the world.

Destruction of Pharaoh

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

90.  And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh with his hosts pursued them in rebellion and transgression, till, when the (fate of) drowning overtook him, he exclaimed: I believe that there is no God save Him in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of those who surrender (unto Him).

90.  Wa  jaa-waz-Naa  bi-Baniii  ‘Is-raaa-‘iilal-bahra  fa-‘atba-‘ahum  Fir-‘awnu  wa  junuu-duhuu  bag-yanw-wa  ‘ad-waa.  Hattaaa  ‘izaaa  ‘adra-kahul-garaqu, qaala  ‘aa-mantu  ‘anna-Huu  laaa  ‘ilaa-ha  ‘il-lalla-Ziii  ‘aa-manat  biHii  Banuuu-  ‘Israa-‘iila  wa  ‘ana  minal-Musli-miin.

Commentary

 

Jaa-waz-Naa – {We brought (them) across), it is past tense from the word mujaa-wa-zatun which has been derived from jawz. Some more words like jawaaz, tajwiiz and tajaawaz etc. have come out from the same; which are used usually in Urdu language. It means to pass, to go forth, to cross and go on the other bank.

One night, Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was instructed by Allah Almighty: Go out from this city along with the Children of Israel in the middle of this night. The Children of Israel were going away that they saw a river in the way. Meanwhile they heard news that Pharaoh with his Army has been coming behind them. They confused very much that they had been surrounded very badly.

Then Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) was commanded: Strike your stick on the river. As soon as He (peace be upon Him) obeyed God’s command, the water of the river was cracked and they saw the bottom dried. Along with the Children of Israel, Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) got down and crossed the river.

When Pharaoh arrived at the bank of river, he observed that there were many ways ready to cross the river, then he also; along with his Army; got down in the river. When they entered in the river; the water, which was standing like walls, was resembled. When Pharaoh began to drown; he exclaimed: I believe in God Who is God of the Children of Israel, and now; I am of those who surrender unto Him. It happens often with rebels and transgressors that they do not attend to any person; till the time they are intoxicated with their wealth and property, but when they begin to be ruined; then they believe that perhaps; by the fortune of Belief; they are saved, but at such time; their Belief is not useful.

Evil days

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

Commentary

 

Friends of God Almighty do not concern themselves with any other than Allah, The Most high. They have neither friendship nor enmity with any of the creatures, but their hearts are so much clean, transparent and pure that as soon as the Knowledge of Allah Almighty puts its reflection on them, they begin to shine, by which they know that “what should they do”. Allah Honored and Glorified, has established a rule that the disobedient will be punished. For the punishment, the Day of Resurrection is fixed. But at times, vicious people are destroyed for purifying the world, so that they may neither tease the righteous people and nor mislead the public. For it, some catastrophic accidents happen; because in the world; different forces come into collision with one another. Those accidents ravage them.

Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) had known through His internal Light that Pharaoh has come under an unlucky star and he would never believe. Moreover, he and his supporters would be ruined very soon. God’s obedient people will get deliverance from his oppression and set free in the world, so that they may show their earnestness in obedience of Allah Almighty by own will. For this purpose; they prayed also; so that the obedient of Allah Almighty should be free and try for their well being.

In this curse, personal enmity or obstinacy have no access. Desire of human welfare, which Allah Almighty has put in the hearts of His accepted servants, excites them to pray unhesitatingly at suitable occasions. Accidents happen in the world and these are result of knocking of many forces together. Their causes use to assemble and when they are complete then Allah Almighty commands: accident should appear. What are these causes? Some of them have been known by the mankind, but some are those, about which human being is doubtful that “are those really causes”? He does not understand that his misdeeds may also be cause of appearance of some catastrophic accidents in the world. Allah Almighty has informed to His Messengers (peace be upon them) through Revelations that immoralities of the human beings also interfere in producing catastrophic accidents.

Usually those people are entangled in these accidents who already deserve punishment due to their wrongdoing. The people whose deeds are good, Allah Almighty saves them often from the calamities in retribution of their good deeds. When the time for Pharaoh’s ruin including his companions reached, then its form was that the Children of Israel were caused to cross the river by drying it, whereas when Pharaoh saw that the river was dry and he entered into it, then suddenly the water level of the river arose more than earlier and Pharaoh including his companions were drowned.

The curse

Surah YUUNUS - 10 (JONAH)

  

 BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

88b.  Our Lord! Destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not till they see the painful doom. 89.  He said: Prayers of you both have been accepted so be firm-footed and follow not the path of those who have no knowledge.

88b.  Rabba-natmis  ‘alaaa  ‘amwaa-lihim  wash-dud  ‘alaa  quluu-bihim  falaa  yu’-minuu  hattaa  yara-wul-‘azaa-bal-‘aliim. 89.  Qaala  qad  ‘ujii-bad-Da’-watu-kumaa  fasta-qiimaa  wa  laa  tattabi-‘aaanni  sabii-lalla-ziina  laa  ya’-lamuun.

Commentary

 

Brutality and violence of Pharaoh increased day by day. At last Prophet Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them) prayed: They are proud of their wealth and property. Destroy they wealth and ruin them. They will never believe with true heart.

Allah Almighty replied: We have accepted your Prayers. You should not worry if appearance of its effect is delayed for some time. Every work is dependant on its fixed time. When the time will come, they will be destroyed. No deficiency should come in your stability and firmness due to delay in punishment. You should remain away from the path of those ignorant and foolish people and continue calling the people unto the Guidance.

Big forces have been performing their duties in the world, as though, this world is a wrestling ground of those forces. Islam teaches that Power of Allah Almighty is overcoming on the entire forces. He lets those forces work and causes to appear their consequence and effect. But some times; He stops also their influence on account of any expedience. And some times; He strengthens them more than normal. Disobedient people are destroyed by their stroke. But Allah Almighty informs before time; the ways of escaping; to the Obedient; by means of His Prophets (peace be upon them).

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.
