Lesson
The characteristics of
the righteous group from the People of the Scripture are being described. Their
three virtues were stated in the first verse, that is to say; they are on the
straight path, recite the Revelations of Allah Almighty in the hours of night
and they fall prostrate before Allah Almighty. Now their some more qualities
have been mentioned.
They have faith in Allah
Almighty and the Last Day whole heartily, fear from the Day of Judgment and
want to precede running fast from others when they are called for any good work.
Moreover, they also wish to bring others towards the right path. No doubt,
these are the People from the Jews, to whom Allah Almighty bestowed fortune of
good disposition and special part of the guidance.
It has been cleared from
the verse that although different types of evils had been produced into the
Jews, despite reciting the glad tidings about the Last Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) in their Holy and Heavenly Books, they
remained firm upon the denial. Even then, there were such People present
between them, who succeeded in recognizing the Truth leaving the stubbornness
and spite. It rained such blessings of Allah Almighty upon those People. Other
Jews who used to deny the True Religion to keep up their false dignity, their
end would be very bad.
So it is evident that
he/she gets the Divine guidance, who leaves the stubbornness, recites the
Revelations of Allah Almighty, also falls prostrate before Him at night,
believes in Oneness of God Almighty and the Day of Resurrection, escapes from
the evils and runs towards the good deeds. Such People will get meed from Allah
Almighty. He knows the pious People very well. Therefore, whenever the evils of
the Jews are discussed, then these types of sober and abstinent persons are
exempted.

Lesson
After describing about
the righteous people, now discussion about the Infidels begins. Allah Almighty
has commanded in this verse that only Belief is the thing, which will help in
the World and the Hereafter. Nothing of the worldly things like wealth and
property, children and family will help the human being. For these things,
someone must not deteriorate his/her Hereafter.
This matter has already
been explained earlier that biggest reason for human being, which attracts
towards the infidelity and denial, is the wealth, property and the children.
These things tempt the person, he loves, keeps them very dare and forgets the
difference between right and wrong being in love with them. Sometimes he
becomes ready to sacrifice the honesty, truth, justice and virtue. He imagines
that piles of wealth and property, sons and relatives will help him everywhere.
These things will ward off his each misfortune. This immature person does not
understand that these entire things are mortal. Their life is for a few days.
These all are inferior and unreal things, which will not provide him any
support. The real thing is the Wealth of Belief, which is sustainable and
eternal, due to which humankind gets respect and honor in the world as well as
wants success in the Hereafter.
LESSON # 412 FROM HOLY
QUR’AN
Spending By The
Disbelievers
Which Is Spent By The
Infidels, Is Not Acceptable
The Wealth Spent By
Idolaters Is Only Devastation
Likeness Of Money Spent
By A Disbeliever
Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)
Verse –117 of 200, Section –12 (Part – 4)
|
The likeness of that
which they spend in this life of the world is as the likeness of a biting,
icy wind which smiteth the harvest of a People who have wronged themselves,
and devastateth it. And Allah wronged them not, but they do wrong themselves.

|
Lesson
The result of the
Infidels has been described in this verse that whatever the wealth they spend
in the world, it would not have any value on the Day of Resurrection, because
due to lack of faith their each deed is lifeless and dead.
Thus, its meed would also
be perishable and they will get it only in this world. Belief is the protector
of acts forever. Likeness of the acts without faith is as someone planted a
garden and did not arrange to protect it from the frost. Looking at the
garden’s prosperity and greenness, he used to be happy for a few days and rely
on it very much. Suddenly a biting, icy wind blows and it smites his entire
blooming garden and harvest. That person remained losing his destruction and
ruin. Neither his hope was completed and nor he could get any advantage from
its production at the time of necessity. This destruction was a punishment of
his tyranny and wickedness. Therefore, he will not be able to get any
meed/reward upon this calamity in the Hereafter.
ka-masli riihin- (likeness of wind) Alms
and charity giving by the disbelievers has been explained as such a gust of air, which
has biting and icy wind. It means, “That air which becomes cause of suffering
and destruction in place of delight and merriment”. Apparently, the human
beings trust in it, but in fact its result comes out opposite.
The disbelievers of Allah
Almighty do well (according to their thoughts) and spend money on good deeds.
Apparently, the observer expects good results from it but really, it is not as
such. When greatest services of a disloyal and rebellious cannot save him from
the punishment of the crime of violence in the world then how the disbelievers
may escape from the punishment in the court of Most Strong Ruler, Allah
Almighty?

O ye who believe!
Take not for intimates others than your own folk, who would spare no pains to

Lesson
In connection with the
purpose to reveal this verse, description about both the groups i.e. the Jews
and the Hypocrites has been mentioned. This narration has been written about
the first mentioned group, that before Islam, those Muslims who had friendly
relations with the Jews based on the neighborhood, remained as usual they were
even after Islam. Trusting in their friendship, the Muslims used to tell them
also some confidential matters/suggestions.
About the Hypocrites, it
is narrated that considering them as Muslims, usually the Believers did not use
to be careful from them and used to tell them their (Muslims) secrets.
Likewise, fear of severe loss used to remain from them.
To save the Muslims from
the evil of Jews and Hypocrites, here it has been told clearly that the Muslim
should not take for intimates others than the Muslims, because no group is
well-wisher of the Muslims, either they are Jews or Christians, Hypocrites or
Idolaters. Nevertheless, these people remain in endeavor always to harm the
Muslims, involve them in the religious and worldly mischief. They become happy
when the Muslims remain in difficulty and calamity.
Allah Almighty says that
the enmity and hatred, which their breasts hide, is greater.
Usually they love to hamper you. Sometimes their feelings of
suffocation and hatred are revealed by the utterance of their mouths, which
provide their deep enmity clearly. Their tongues do not remain in their control
due to rivalry and jealousy. Therefore, a wise person should not take such
distrustful enemies for his/her intimates.

Lesson
Allah Almighty has
commanded the Muslims, “You are exhausted in the love of the People of
the Scripture but they are not your friends, but they are such enemies who
desire to undermine you. You believe in the entire Scripture either those
belong to any nation and revealed during any Prophet’s (peace be upon him)
time. On the contrary, they do not believe in your Book (Holy Qur’an) and
Prophet, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon
him). Even their faith in their own
Scripture is not correct too. It was necessary for them that they would have to
love you and you would expose displeasure from them but the case is going at
variance here.
Like this the Hypocrites
used to claim with tongue that they were Muslims, likewise the Christians and
the Jews began saying the word ‘aamannaa (we are Muslims) for getting the meanings from it that they
believed in their Scripture and acknowledged them. Therefore, they used to try
deceiving the Believers in the screen of saying “As we believe in our books and
admit them, therefore we are also Muslim”.
Their malice with the
Muslims can be felt from the fact that observing the progress of Islam and
mutual affection between the Muslims, they become jealous. When they cannot do
something, then due to anger and wrath they gnash their teeth and bite
their fingers. The Muslims would not get any harm from their enmity. The People
of the Scripture will use to die in their rage and their desires will be in
vain. Allah Almighty has informed the Muslims about their secret wickedness, so
that they may escape always from the enemies of their own and Allah Almighty.

Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The

If a
lucky chance befall you, it is evil unto them, and if disaster strike you
they rejoice thereat. And if ye persevere and keep from evil, their guile
will never harm you. Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they do.

|
Lesson
Enmity of the People of the
Scripture is apparent with the Muslims from the matter that If any lucky chance
befalls them, it is disagreeable to the People of the Scripture. Observing the
union of the Muslims, their prosperity, victory and superiority over the
enemies, they foam with fury and rage of jealousy.
But if any misfortune
frustrates the Muslims, then the People of the Scripture gladden at that
occasion. What can be expected from this kind of mean nation for goodness and
heartiness?
This behavior of the People
of the Scripture was not only during the primary time of Islam, but until
today, they behave the Muslims as such. However, it is another thing if they
abstain from enmity due to their any personal advisability for some time.
There was a possibility
that some Muslims may think about restriction from keeping the friendship with
the People of the Scripture as, “When they will not keep friendly relations
with those People, then perhaps they will conspire more frequently against the
Muslims and try to harm them ardently”. To overcome this impediment of anxiety,
Allah Almighty commanded, “Don’t fear, if you persevere, keep steadiness and
remain away from the evil, then their any guile, conspiracy or deception will
never harm you”. Allah Almighty knows entire, what they allure. He is
Omnipotent and possesses all Powers and Strength. He will keep them
annihilated. The Muslims should keep their matters clear with Allah Almighty,
trust in His Power and Strength and hold fast His rope, leave no stone unturned
in mutual union and relations, remain individually steadfast on honesty and
integrity. They will not have any fear of confederacies and adversities of the
Infidels, the obstinate, the Jews or the Christians. Even today, while the
disbelievers and infidels have become origin of danger for the Muslims, and
have encompassed them from each side, now the Muslims should be attentive and
adopt the path of patience and steadfastness from the beginning. They should
keep the fear of Allah Almighty in their breasts and intend to die in the Way
of Allah Almighty with self-determination. Then there is no reason that
their entire opposite powers would not become helpless through long or
continued looking.

Lesson
The events regarding
preparations for the battle, departure from home to the battleground and drawing up in flanks
for the battlefield by Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon
him) have been pointed out in this verse. Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) proceeded from
home for the crusade in the right path early in morning. He assigned the positions to
the Believers for the battle, caused to sit them down on the appropriate lines
of entrenchments and arranged the map of battlefield.
Here it signifies towards
the Battle of ‘Uhad. Afterwards, the events and circumstances will
be mentioned continuously about the Battle of ‘Uhad. It seems
appropriate to describe the events of this battle (Gazwah) briefly in
this lesson, so that there would not be necessary to repeat it again and again.
On Saturday, March 19,
625 (3 Shawwal) 3 AH, the Quraysh of Makkah lead their Army to
Medina with three thousand selected braves. One year prior, they suffered a
defeat in the battle of Badr. So now, they came with full
preparations. Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) consulted his companions
(may Allah Almighty be pleased with them). The old people advised that
self-defense should be arranged staying within the city. ‘Abd-Allah ibn
Ubayy (the chief of the Khazraj tribe) and leader of the
hypocrites had also this opinion. The young people said, “It is the sign of
weakness; we should go out and fight against them. We shall defend with stakes
and engage in a desperate undertaking at each cost.
Holy Messenger of
Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) agreed to this
suggestion, came out from his house wearing the armor and departed towards the
battlefield from the city with other Muslim. Total numbers of Muslims were one
thousand. ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy (leader of the hypocrites) returned with his three hundred
disbelievers saying that ‘when you did not agree to us then we would not
cooperate with you’.
Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) delivered the flag over to Hadrat Mas-‘ab bin ‘Umar (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with him), appointed Hadrat Zubair bin Awam (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with him) as commander of the troop of the horses, kept the people
(who were not in armor) under the command of Hadrat Amir Hamza (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with him), determined fifty archers at a pass (of the mountain) under supervision of Hadrat ‘Abd-Allah bin Zubair (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with him) and ordered them not to leave the pass at any cost. This
battle of right and wrong began with these preparations.

Lesson
taaa-‘ifataani- (Two parties), aim from
these two parties is the people of those two tribes ‘Banu Harthah’ and ‘Banu
Salmah’, who had become broken hearted and almost fallen away at the time of
Battle of ‘Uhud.
The plan of the
battlefield has been described in the pervious lesson. You have read it earlier
that the total numbers of Muslims were just one thousand against three
thousand Quraysh braves. Three hundred Fraudster Hypocrites
returned in the way out of those one thousand with their leader ‘Abd-Allah ibn
Ubayy . it was not extraordinary thing for feeble-hearted persons to be
worried observing this situation. The people of Banu Harthah’ and ‘Banu
Salmah became perplexed and thought, “What will happen now?” Allah
Almighty raised feelings of ambition and courage in their hearts, and expelled
the concept of deficiency and majority of manpower from their hearts.
The Muslims advanced with
such power of trust in Allah Almighty that the spirit of Infidels ended and
they began to run from the battleground. The Warriors of Islam began to arrest
them and collect their equipment. When the fifty archers, appointed at the
hill-pass, observed this situation, they also involved in it. Even they forgot
the warning of Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah
Almighty be upon him) and did not care too their leader’s advice.
Khalid bin al-Waleed had not yet
embraced Islam. He was leading the enemy’s Army (of Meccan Infidels).
As soon as he observed that the hill-pass was without the archers, he collected
his deserting companions, attacked with their help from that side and changed
the map of battle. The Muslims were confused and they suffered with many
casualties. Even the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) personally was wounded.
The Muslims drew up in a
line again. They advanced and engaged in a desperate undertaking once again,
beat the Quraysh braves and drove them back. The world knew
that deficiency or surplus manpower had no value in the battlefield, but the
steadfastness and patience of the crusaders, success and support of Allah
Almighty are of use.

Lesson
Badr - The first battle between Islam and Infidelity was fought on 17th Ramadan
2 AH. In the battlefield of Badr a handful, number of Muslims
got such graceful victory that the spine of infidelity was broken. The Infidels
judged first time about the strength of Muslims. ‘antum ‘azillah (you were contemptible).
At that time number of Muslims were 313 (three hundred and thirteen only)
including old, young, little (boys) and elder, who might be able to fight. They
all did not have even proper weapons to fight. This entire Army had only 70
(seventy) camels and two horses. The swords and lances of some of the persons
were broken. Even that some person carried only staffs of the date trees for
proceeding to the crusade.
Some crusaders of Islam
were such persons, who were not able to fight due to their age and height, and
the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
wished that they should not go in the battlefield. But observing their longing
he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was compelled to let them
permit to go.
The Battle of Badr was
a very strong test of the Muslims’ courage and spirit. One thousand Quraysh braves attacked under
command of well conversant generals including Abu Jehal {the
father of ignorance and uncle of Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him)}. Many of them were riders. The men in armor out of them
were three hundred. They all had each type of arms and equipment for warfare.
These one thousand Army
Personnel, Intoxicated with power, assaulted three hundred and thirteen
Muslims. But in the first assault this great multitude became helpless to
surrender. Their seventy persons were slain and the Muslims arrested the same
numbers. Those overcame who were weak and those were disgraced who were
powerful.
This verse has very great
lesson in itself to satisfy the injured Muslims of the Battle of ‘Uhud and
desire of pleasing the weak Muslims. If Allah Almighty can support the Truth to
conquer during its prime time of helplessness, then why the Billion
Muslims of today be distressed in mind. They should trust in Allah Almighty and
put their entire strength in eminence of Islam.

Lesson
The religious scholars say
that this verse signifies towards the Battle of Badr. While the
Muslims frightened observing a large number of Infidels, Allah Almighty
commanded for their consolation, “Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord
should support you with angels (peace be upon them) sent down from the sky for
your help against the Infidels?”
Then Allah Almighty
affirmed, “if you persevere, prove to be patient, fear from Allah Almighty and
keep away from evil, and the enemy’s Army attacks you suddenly, then your Lord
will help you with five thousand instead of three thousand angels (peace be
upon them) sweeping on special marked horses”.
Number of Infidels was one
thousand in the field of battle. Therefore, Allah Almighty promised to send one
thousand Angels (peace be upon them) as it has been mentioned in Surah
‘Anfaal (Spoils of War). When the Muslims felt confusion, then Allah
Almighty increased the strength of Angels (peace be upon them) threefold,
because the strength of the Infidels was threefold than Muslims. Allah Almighty
appointed that if they would persevere, show firmness and stability, stand
still to fight with the enemies, fear from Allah Almighty and keep away from
the evil, then five thousand Angels (peace be upon them) will be sent down from
the sky. Even if the disbelievers get more help from somewhere, you should not
be confused. Allah Almighty will help you. It comes in the histories that the
help of Kuuz bin Jabir did not reach the polytheists. The
Muslims acquired greatest victory over the disbelievers. Many disbelievers were
killed, some were arrested and who remained alive, they returned being abject
and disgraced. This Battle of Badr happened to be cause of
difference between the right and the wrong, and it became a golden page of the
history of Muslim’s bright past.

Lesson
The help of Allah Almighty
reached in the form of angles (peace be upon them) and all the invisible stuff
were provided so that fear and confusion from the hearts of Muslims begone and
they acquire peace and satisfaction. Otherwise, help of Allah Almighty is
neither needy of such things, nor bound of motives. His command, when He
intends a thing, is only that He says unto it: Be! and it is, or when He
wishes, disgrace and abject the Infidels without any battle. The help, which
Angels (peace be upon them) cause to reach, cannot do so without permission and
power of Allah Almighty. Allah is the Mighty and the Overcoming. He is the Wise
and Knows very well that which type of means would be suitable to effect His
purpose.
It is our observation from
the daily life that the results and events manifest from the particular
motives. For example, the thirst is quenched with drinking water, the cure of
hunger is taking food, the death happens when the heartbeat stops. This law has
too much big universal status that believing in it has become part of the
humankind’s faith. When and where any result occurs, the people begin to
discover its reason. Likewise, if any person wants to produce a special result
or particular situations, then he brings into effect necessary causes for them.
Similarly, it has become human being’s belief that no result can be out without
motives. Whereas, it is the fact that a very Mighty and Wise Power is working
behind this law, the Hand of Allah Almighty is working behind the relation of
motives and results.
Having trust in the
apparent motives is the sign of our belief’s weakness. If Allah Almighty wills
then the result can be produced without any apparent motive. The promise of
Angle’s help (peace be upon them) in the Battle of Badr reminds
us that instead of trusting in the apparent motives, we should have perfect
trust in complete Divine Power (Omnipotence) of Allah Almighty.

punish them; for they are evildoers.

Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the
earth. He forgiveth whom He will, and punisheth whom He will. And Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.

Lesson
Seventy companions (may
Allah be pleased with them) of Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) were killed in the Battle of Uhud. Uncle of Holy Prophet
(grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him), named Amir Hamza (may Allah be pleased with
him) was
also killed
with them and he was granted the title of Saiyidush-Shuhadaaa’ (Chief
of the Martyrs). Polytheists disgraced very brutally the dead body of Hadrat
Hamza (May Allah Almighty be pleased with him). One eye of Holy Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) was hurt, one lower right side tooth out of the front
four teeth was broken, chain ring of his own helmet broke and penetrated in his
cheek, forehead was wounded and his (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) body covered with
blood. His foot staggered, he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) fell down on the
ground and became senseless.
The infidels proclaimed
that Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) had been killed.
Muslims were confused and the people were stunned. After some times when Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) came in senses, this sentence was on his tongue, “How
that nation will get prosperity, which wounded her Prophet’s face, who used to
call them towards God”.
Observing these brutal
tyrannies of the polytheists, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) intended to
imprecate for some tyrant people out of them, but it was not acceptable by
Allah Almighty. Therefore, the people for whom Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) was going to invoke a curse, Allah Almighty put all of
them down in the feet of Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) after a few days,
and made them venturesome soldiers of Islam.
The intent to tell from
this verse is that neither a mankind has any authority, nor complete knowledge.
Although, the infidels are tyrannizing the Muslims but it is the Will of Allah
Almighty. Whether He relents toward them or punishes them. Whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth belongs to Allah Almighty. He forgives whom He
wills and guides towards the light of Belief, but arrests in the punishment of
infidelity whom He wills. But Allah’s Praise of Mercy and Forgiveness keeps
Superiority on His entire other Praises. He neither wants to put someone in
trouble and nor punish anyone until the time someone does not reach the last
stage of bad doings and disobedience.
