LESSON # 95 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Manifestation Of Jesus Christ
(God’s Blessings On Him)
Verse – 87a of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a
train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary,
clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), and We supported him with the Holy
Spirit.

Wa laqad ‘aataynaa Muu-sal-Kitaaba wa qaffaynaa mim-ba’-dihii
birrusuli wa ‘aatay-naa ‘Iisabna- Maryamal-Bayyi-naati wa ‘ayyadnaahu
bi-ruu-hil-qudus.
|
Lesson
Qaffaynaa – (We caused a train of messengers to follow) after the Prophet
Moses chain of Prophets (peace be upon Them) remained coming continuously
between the children of Israel. Out of Them famous Prophets are David,
Zachariah, John, Yusha’ and Jesus (peace be upon Them).
‘Iisaa – (Jesus) the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) is
the last Prophet out of the Prophets from the children
of Israel (peace be upon Them). No Prophet came in this world from
the children of Israel after the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon
Him). After Him Prophet-hood went towards the children of Ishmael. In this
dynasty the Last Prophet and Messenger Muhammad (grace, peace and blessings on
Him) was born and after Him (grace, peace and blessings on Him) neither any
prophet has come and nor will come. It means that the prophet-hood has finished
on Him (grace, peace and blessings on Him). The Prophet Jesus Christ conveyed
this good news particularly about gracing with the Last Messenger’s presence
(grace, peace and blessings on Him). The year belonging to Jesus starts from
the year of His death (peace be upon Him). Nasira is a town in the country
of Syria which was His Ancestors’ native country. Due to this
relation the people say Him Jesus Christ Nasri (Masiih Nasri).
Maryama – (Mary) (God’s Blessings on Her) Her father’s name was Imran. She
belonged to a very noble family out of the children of Israel. She was
also very modest. The Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) was born from
Her womb without father.
‘Iisabna- Maryama – (Jesus son of Mary) it signifies that the Prophet Jesus
Christ (peace be upon Him) was also a mankind. May God forbid! He was not the
son of God. However He was a great Prophet and Messenger (peace be upon Him) of
God Almighty. Because He (peace be upon Him) was born without father so the
relation is given towards mother.
Al-Bayyi-naat - clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) there is no
accommodation for tricks or arguments to deny these clear proofs.
Ruu-hil-Qudus – (the Holy Spirit) aim of ruu-hil-qudus is the Angel
Gabriel (peace be upon Him). He used to bring the Messages of God Almighty
towards the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them). He helped the Prophet
Jesus (peace be upon Them) in each difficult situation so He is being narrated
particularly here in this verse.
LESSON # 96 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Sensuality and Murder Of Prophets
Verse – 87b of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
Is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger
(from Allah) with that which ye yourself desire not, ye grow arrogant, and
some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?
|
‘Afa-kullamaa jaaa-‘akum Rasuulum- bimaa laa tahwaaa
‘anfu-sukumus-takbar-tum. Fa-fariiqan- kazzabtum wa fariiqan-taqtuluun.
|
Lesson
Allah Almighty has bestowed two powers to the human beings:
• Power of Belief
(faith, religion, certainty and confidence).
• Power of action
(procedure compliance, operation and practice).
If these powers are right and straight forward then the path of
aim will become easy. In the previous verse the God Almighty has mentioned
those bad-nesses and defects of the children of Israel which belong
to their power of action. They used to slay each other themselves, exiled the
weak persons. Now, in this verse weaknesses of the power of their belief and
faith have been disclosed.
The God Almighty commands, “We bestowed the Book to Moses (peace
be upon Him) for their guidance but when the children of Israel began
to change the Orders of this Book and disobey them, then We sent many Prophets
after Moses (peace be upon Them). But these people disobeyed some of Them too
and slew some of Them (peace be upon Them). Then We sent Jesus Christ (peace be
upon Him) with the Holy Book Gospel and to prove His truth We bestowed many
Miracles to Him, and detailed the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) for His
help but the Jews did not shun from their habits and prepared to slay Him
(peace be upon Him)”.
Now Allah Almighty says, “your circumstances are also strange,
whenever any Messenger (peace be upon Him) brought the order of God Almighty
against your personal means and sensual wishes, you turned your faces from it
with proud, falsified some Prophets (peace be upon Them) and slew some of Them.
The Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) was bestowed with
many miracles by the Allah Almighty. For instance He (peace be upon Him) was
bestowed to do discerning the blinds, sound the lepers and healthy the ailing,
produced Him (peace be upon Him) without father and powered to speak in the
cradle etc. But even then the children of Israel did not believe Him
(peace be upon Him) and continued opposing and troublesome acts.
LESSON # 97 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Bigotry Of The Children Of Israel
Verse – 88 of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
And they say: Our hearts are enfolded in covers. Nay, but Allah
hath cursed them for their unbelief. Little is that which they believe.
|
Wa qaaluu quluubunaa gulf. Bal-la-‘anahumullaahu bi-kufrihim
fa-qaliilam-maa yu’-minuun.
|
Lesson
Gulfun – (enfolded in covers) aglaf is its singular. It means,
“Covered thing”, the thing which is enfolded in cover and hidden in the
curtain. The Jews used to claim that their hearts are enfolded in covers and
filled with the teachings of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him). So they did not
need to accept any new teachings.
La-‘anahumullaahu – (Allah hath cursed them) La’-nat means distance from the
Mercy, some body’s deprival from God Almighty’s Grace and Mercy. It is also
called the curse as that person is ignored by all.
Qaliilan – (very little) it signifies that they used to disclose a
dim attention towards the belief off and on and only few persons out of them
used to believe. Majority was inclined towards dishonesties, faithless and
violence.
When God Almighty fixed the self made faiths of the Jews as False
and the Speech of Allah Almighty proved them wrong clearly then there was no
trick or argument remained with the Jews. They began to say that their hearts
were enfolded in the covers and nothing could effect on their hearts. They
would never obey or become loyal on the instructions of any body.
The Jews used to state their false proof with much pride but the
God Almighty proclaimed clearly that they are totally liars. There is no any
enfolded cover. But Allah Almighty has cursed them for their chained unbelief
and its covers have enfolded their hearts. They have been removed from His
Mercy and Kind. So they do not believe their true religion. Out of them only a
few persons have believed on the Last Messenger Muhammad (grace, peace and
blessings on Him).
It has been known from this verse that if the human beings either
deny from the verses of God Almighty or change them or do transposition of
words between them, or disobey continuously then Allah Almighty curses them.
The person like this can not attend towards the Religion and
Belief.
LESSON # 98 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Intentionally Disbelief
Verse – 89 of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
And when there cometh unto them a Scripture from Allah,
confirming that which is in their possession—though before that they were
asking for a signal triumph over those who disbelieve—and when there cometh
unto them that which they know (to be true) they disbelieve therein. So the
curse of Allah is on disbelievers.
|
Wa lammaa jaaa-‘ahum Kitaabum-min ‘indillaahi musaddiqul-limaa
ma-‘ahum, wa kaanuu min- qablu yastafti-huuna ‘alal-laziina Kafaruu
Falammaa jaaa-‘ahum-maa ‘arafuu kafaruu bihii fala’-natullaahi
‘alal-kaafiriin.
|
Lesson
Kitaabum-min ‘indillaahi – (a Scripture from Allah) here Kitaab signifies towards the
Holy Qur’an, whose first address was also for the Jews besides the Infidels of
Makkah. Majority of these people was living in Madina.
Limaa ma-‘ahum – (that which is in their possession) its aim is Torah, the
Heavenly Book of the Jews. The Holy Qur’an has used to mention its virtue and
proclaimed that the Qur’an is True Book of Allah Almighty; it verifies other
previous Heavenly Books. Out of the previous Books the most famous book is
Torah which was revealed on the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him).
Yastafti-huuna (were asking for a signal triumph) this word is derived from
the word Fatah. In Arabic language it means ‘wish of superiority’ and victory.
In this verse its both meanings can be taken. Before the manifestation of Last
Messenger Muhammad (grace, peace and blessings on Him), whenever the Jews
people were defeated by the natives of Madina, at that time they used to beg
from Allah Almighty for victory and help giving the sake of Last Messenger
(grace, peace and blessings on Him). This affair had been included in their
faith that the Last Prophet (grace, peace and blessings on Him) would come to
make them free. They would get freedom after believing on Him (grace, peace and
blessings on Him).
When a Book revealed by Allah Almighty for the Jews in which
verification of the principles of the Divine’s law of Prophet Moses (peace be
upon Him) was present then these persons disbelieved, and of whom Last Prophet
(grace, peace and blessings on Him) they were waiting for, and for the sake of
whom they used to pray for victory against the Infidels, when He, Known Prophet
(grace, peace and blessings on Him) came towards them; they began to disbelieve
Him (grace, peace and blessings on Him). Now those disbelievers have been
cursed by the God Almighty due to their infidelity. And they became victim of
wrath of the God Almighty.
It appears from this statement that the Jews belong to a bigoted
and jealous nation and this nation has been cursed from the Mercy of God
Almighty due to its bigotry and
infidelity.
LESSON # 99 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Result Of Opposite And Bigotry
Verse – 90 of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should
disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed, grudging that Allah should
reveal of His Bounty unto whom He will of His bondmen. They have incurred
anger upon anger. And for disbelievers is a shameful doom.
|
Bi’-sa-mash-taraw bihii ‘anfusahum ‘any-yakfuruu bi-maaa-
‘anzalallaahu bagyan ‘any-yunazzilal-laahu min- faz-lihii ‘alaa
many-yashaaa-‘u min ‘ibaadih. Fabaaa-‘uu bigazabin ‘alaa gazab.
Wa lil-Kaafiriina ‘azaabum-muhiin.
|
Lesson
Allah Almighty commands in this verse that the children
of Israel are limitless selfish and sensual people. They are also
stubborn and jealous. They see every thing even that the orders of God Almighty
from the business and national point of view and think that their benefit is
either in following these orders or disobeying them. If they suppose that they
will acquire their personal wishes by changing these orders or by violating
them, they shall do that without hesitation.
Due to the result of bigotry and sensuality jealousy grew into
them very severely. Because they wanted to get each type of favour and kind for
themselves only as if it was their right by birth. Without distinction of deeds
the favours and mercy of God Almighty will remain only for them.
When Prophet Muhammad (peace, grace and blessings be upon Him) was
sent as the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty, the Jews felt a lot of
restlessness. Fire of jealousy blazed into them that why the prophet-hood has
been transferred into the children of Ishmael instead of their dynasty. Whereas
they should know that the God Almighty gives His virtue him to whom He wishes
and bestows Prophet-hood and Mission to him. But the Jews refused to
believe the Last Messenger Muhammad (peace, grace and blessings upon Him) due
to their opposite and did not return towards the right path.
Due to the Jews’ chained infidelity and denying they have incurred
anger upon anger of God Almighty. And for disbelievers is a shameful doom on
the Day of Resurrection.
LESSON # 100 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Refusal Of Invitation For Belief
Verse – 91 of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath
revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they
disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming
that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the
Prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers?
|
Wa ‘izaa qiila lahum ‘aa-minuu bimaaa
‘anzalal-laahu qaaluu nu’-minu bimaaa ‘un-zila ‘alaynaa wa
yakfuruuna bimaa waraaa-‘ahuu wa huwal-Haqqu musaddiqal-limaa ma-‘ahum. Qul
falima taqtuluuna ‘ambiyaaa-‘al-laahi min- qablu ‘in- kuntum-mu’miniin.
|
Lesson
As you have studied previously that when the Last Prophet Muhammad
(peace, glory and blessings on Him) invited the children of Israel to
accept Islam, they replied that their hearts have already been filled with
these orders of God Almighty which are present in our Heavenly Book Torah so
they have no need of any new teachings and new revelation.
Allah Almighty has disclosed in this verse that this claim of
theirs’ is also false because they do not believe too even their Heavenly Books
entirely and do not follow their orders. It is its proof that they have used to
falsify their Prophets (peace be upon Them), moreover they have slain some of
Them. If they had faith completely on that Book and its Commands they might not
be so disobedient.
After providing this proof the God Almighty warns them that they
have gone astray entirely from the Straight Path and have left the true
religion so it is better for them to adopt the Religion Islam and admit the
Holy Qur’an. It is the Last Heavenly Book. This Book verifies their Books
itself and presents them in duly corrected shape. Without believing on the Last
Book of Allah Almighty their claim of believing on their own Books is totally
wrong.
LESSON # 101 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Worship Of Calf
Verse – 92 & 93 of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
92. And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of Allah’s
Sovereignty), yet while he was away, ye chose the calf (for worship) and ye
were wrongdoers.
93. And when We made with you a covenant and caused the
(Mount) Toor to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We have given
you, and hear (Our Word), they said: We hear and disobey. And (worship of)
the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of
the covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoineth on
you, if ye are believers.
|
92. Wa laqad jaaa-‘akum-Muu-saa bil-Bayyinaati

bi’-samaa ya’-murukum- bihiii ‘iimaanukum ‘in-kuntum-mu’-miniin.
|
Lesson
In the previous verse Allah Almighty has proved the claim of
Jews wrong that they were following entirely on the Divine of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) and now they do not need any new Religion or Divine. God
Almighty had commanded against it that they had falsified their many Prophets
and some of Them were even slain by them.
Now in this verse God Almighty commands that He sent the Prophet
Moses (peace be upon Him) and bestowed Him also a lot of miracles but knowing
all this even then children of Israel began worship of the calf. They left
Oneness of God and overtook infidelity and ascribed plurality to God Almighty.
Then the God Almighty made covenant from them in the base of
Mountain Toor on some Orders to be obeyed. At that time due to fear of God
Almighty they promised but later on they refused to admit it. So at last Allah,
the Most high says, “If your faith, of which you claim, teaches you to slay the
Prophets (peace be upon Them), worship the calf instead of God Almighty and
break the covenant then your this faith teaches you wrong-doings. How can it be
a true Belief?
LESSON # 102 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Long For Death
Verse – 94 of 286, Section – 11 (Part - 1)
Say (unto them): If the abode of the Hereafter in the providence
of Allah is indeed for you alone and not for others of mankind (as ye
pretend), then long for death (for ye must long for death) if ye are
truthful.
|
Qul ‘in-kaanat lakumud-Daarul-‘Aakhiratu
‘indallaahi khaalisatam-min-duunin-naasi
fatamannawul-mawta ‘in-kuntum saadiqiin.
|
Lesson
God Almighty has refuted some other fidelity of the children
of Israel in this verse. You have studied earlier that the children
of Israel had stood firm on their self invented and false faiths. One
out of them was that only they will go into Heaven after death and they will be
alone heir of the Paradise. Except them neither any nation of the world
will be forgiven and nor will enter the Paradise.
Allah Almighty has proved wrong this self invented and false
belief with very simple understanding argument. The children of Israel have
been told through the Last Messenger Muhammad (grace, peace and blessings upon
Him) that if they were true in their claim that they were alone heir of the
Heaven and they would enter the Paradise certainly then they should show long
for death, because the person who has faith that after death he will certainly
enter the Paradise, he would not have any fear for long of death. There are a
lot of difficulties and calamities in this world and in
the Paradise there are each type of blessings and facilities. So the
person who claims as a heir of the Paradise, he should try to face that world
to leave for good this world as soon as possible so that he may get a
comfortable life for ever after getting rid of these calamities and
difficulties.
This very reason has been produced for the children of Israel that
if they certainly believe about the Paradise as that is only for them and
except them no other nation will enter into it then they should show to long
for death (for they must long for death) if they are
truthful.
LESSON # 103 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Greed For long life
Verse – 95 & 96 of 286, Section – 12 (Part - 1)
95. But they will never long for it, because of that
which their own hands have sent before them. And Allah is Aware of evildoers.
96. And thou wilt find them greediest of
mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would
like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years)
would by no means remove him from the doom. And Allah is Seer of what they
do.
|
95. Wa lany-yatamannaw-hu ‘abadam- bimaa qaddamat

‘Aliimum-biz-zaalimiin.
96. Wa la- tajidannahum ‘ah-rasan-naasi ‘alaa

sanah. Wa maa huwa bi-muzahzihihii minal-‘azaabi ‘any-yu-‘ammar. Wallaahu
Basiirum- bimaa ya’-maluun.
|
Lesson
In this verse Allah Almighty has explained completely about
reality of the children of Israel. It means that although they claim to be
the only Heirs of the Paradise. Therefore they are being commanded to show
the long for death. But they will never be prepared to accept it. They don’t
want to intend to leave luxuries of this world entirely and to face the world hereafter.
There is only one reason for it that they haven’t faith on purity of their
claim. They just tell a lie. They know very well about the evildoings and
immoralities which they have done in this world, they shall have to face the
punishment for their sins. So they wish that they might get the life as long as
possible, so that they may enjoy luxuries of this world for maximum period and
be saved from agony of dooms day.
Every body out of them wants to remain in this world for thousands
of the years, so that he may get more worldly benefits and be saved from agony.
But God Almighty gives caution to them that wishing they get more life, they
can’t save themselves from agony of Allah Almighty because He knows their each
deed.
LESSON # 104 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Enmity Of The Gabriel
Verse – 97 & 98 of 286, Section – 12 (Part - 1)
97. Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): Who is an enemy to
Gabriel! For he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by
Allah’s leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance
and glad-tidings to believers.
98. Who is an enemy to Allah, and His angels and His
messengers, and Gabriel and Michael! Then, lo! Allah (Himself) is an enemy to
the disbelievers.
|
97. Qul man- kaana ‘aduwwal-li-Jibriila fa-‘innahum

98. Man-kaana ‘aduwwal-lil-laahi wa malaaa-‘ikatihii
wa rusulihii wa Jibriila wa Mii-Kaala fa-‘innallaaha ‘aduwwul-lil-Kaafiriin.
|
Lesson
Jibriila – (Gabriel) it is the name of a great Angel. He has a very
sensitive responsibility as He conveys Revelation of the God Almighty to the
Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them). He is counted as out of the
closely to God Almighty and arch angel.
In this verse God Almighty has opened some other secrets of the
children of Israel’s false and meaningless argument. The Jews used to say
that which torture used to descend over their forefathers from time to time,
the news of that torture were revealed by Gabriel (peace be upon Him). He was
their national enemy. For whom out of Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon
Them) He will bring the revelation, they will not accept Him (peace be upon
Him). This Angel also brings revelation towards the Prophet of Islam, the last
Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him), besides
this He discloses their secrets, conspiracies and plans over the Last Prophet
Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) so they would not
agree to accept Him (peace be upon Him).
Allah Almighty has replied in this verse that position of the
Gabriel (peace be upon Him) is only as an Angel who conveys the messages of the
God Almighty to the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them). In fact each
type of command, order, agony, torture or Speech is revealed from the Allah
Almighty. The enmity of the Gabriel, some other Angels and Messengers (peace be
upon Them) is totally meaningless and the Infidels will be punished severely due
to their enmity with God Almighty
Allah Almighty has narrated three virtues of Holy Qur’an in this
verse:
• It verifies the
principles of previous Heavenly Books.
• This Holy Book shows
the straight path.
• It causes to hear
happy news for the Believers about good rewards and success.
LESSON # 105 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Breaking Of The Promise By The Jews
Verse – 99 & 100 of 286, Section – 12 (Part - 1)
99. And verily We have revealed unto thee clear verses,
and only miscreants will disbelieve in them.
100. Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party
of them set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not.
|
99. Wa laqad ‘anzalnaaa ‘ilay-ka ‘Aayaatim- bayyinaat. Wa
maa yakfuru bihaaa ‘illal-faasi-quun.
100. ‘Awa- kullamaa ‘aahaduu ‘ahdan-nabazahuu
fariiqum-minhum. Bal ‘aksaruhum laa yu’-minuun.
|
Lesson
‘Aayaatim- bayyinaat – (clear verses), ‘Aayaat means
verses, literally it means ‘tokens’, ‘signs’. The word ‘Aayaat is used for many
purposes i.e. punctuations in the Holy Qur’an, Orders, Instructions and
Commands of God Almighty are also called ‘Aayaat, and all those speeches and
things which are signs of the Power of God Almighty, will be included in its
meanings.
Bayyinaat – its singular is Bayyinah that
means clear, bright. The meanings of all this sentence may be the Holy Qur’an
too as well as Miracles and Orders of the God Almighty.
The children of Israel were materialists so the God
Almighty bestowed their Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) with
miracles outward and relating to matter. Near to them proof of the truth of any
Prophet (peace be upon Him) was that He (peace be upon Him) would have the
Miracles. When the Last Prophet and Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and
blessings be upon Him) were sent, the children of Israel said
surprisingly, “of what sort is this Prophet? He has no sign or token of
prophet-hood. Replying them Allah Almighty commanded, “You demand one sign of
Prophet-hood, We have bestowed many signs and tokens to Our Messenger (glory,
grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) and those signs & tokens are
neither hidden nor dim, moreover these are clear and bright verses which may be
seen by everyone. After looking them any person who has true nature can not
deny from them. Only those persons will disbelieve who has become habitual of
breaking the Laws of God Almighty and violating His Orders.
History of the children of Israel has been filled with
the happenings of treachery, breaking the covenants, disobeying and violence.
Whenever any Messenger of Allah Almighty brought towards them the Clear Verses,
they falsified Him. Moreover after making the covenant to obey the God Almighty
and His Prophet (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) they did not
remain firm on it. This habit of refusal and disobeying of the Jews stopped
them to accept the prophet-hood of the Last Messenger Muhammad (glory, grace,
peace and blessings be upon
Him).
LESSON # 106 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Opposing The Scripture Of Allah
Verse –101 of 286, Section – 12 (Part - 1)
And when there cometh unto them a Messenger from Allah,
confirming that which they possess, a party of those who have received the
scripture fling the scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they knew
not.
|
Wa lammaa jaaa-‘a hum Rasuulum-min ‘indillaahi mu-saddiqul-limaa
ma-‘ahum nabaza fariiqum-minal-laziina ‘uutul-kitaaba,
kitaaballaahi waraaa-‘a zuhuurihim ka-‘an-nahum laa ya’-lamuun.
|
Lesson
Rasuulun – (Messenger) the person carrying message. This word is used
for all the Prophets (peace be upon Them). It is revealed from the way of
narration of this verse that it signifies towards the last Messenger of Allah
Almighty (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him). Religious
commentators, research scholars and philosophers have also taken these meanings
of the verse.
Ma-‘ahum – (they possess) it aims the Holy Book Torah, of which
guidance the children of Israel did not admit. These persons did not
believe also the last Messenger and Prophet Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and
blessings be upon Him), still vast signs and foretelling had been mentioned in
that Holy Book (Torah). The Jewish Scholars tried their best to hide these
foretelling and the common Jewish people opposed limitless the Islam and the
Muslims still their salvation was connected with the faith of Islam.
Waraaa-‘a zuhuurihim – (behind their backs) it is a
proverb that means, “they used carelessness and opposed it practically”.
In this verse it is being told to the children
of Israel that the Last Messenger (glory, grace, peace and blessings
be upon Him) has not come to efface their religion but He (glory, grace, peace
and blessings be upon Him) has come to refresh and provide it a new life. So
not obeying Him (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him) is like ruining
entirely their religion by themselves digging its roots.
