Lesson
In the previous verses, commands
regarding prevention from betraying God Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) and the trust were issued and it was told that
improper love of children and unreasonable greed of wealth inclines the human
being toward betraying. You should not care for the wealth and children so much
that they prevent you from sympathy with the creature of Allah Almighty and
doing good. Summary of the same has been described in this verse, as though; essence
of all previous Precepts has been extracted.
The believers are being commanded that
they should keep their duty to God Almighty; that is to say; fear Allah
Almighty (be abstinent). Abstinence can be acquired by him/her only who
abstains from betraying, deceiving and treachery. These are the things,
abstaining from which, has been being commanded from the earlier.
You will reap the advantage from the
piety that God Almighty will bestow on you power of distinguishing between good
and bad, which is called Furqaan
(this word is from faraqa; which
means – to divide or distinguish, the Holy Qur’an
(as distinguished or separating the Truth from falsehood). It will not let the bad
effects of your errors and mistakes influence on you, and God Almighty will not
find fault with them because He is the Greatest Beneficent and of Infinite
Bounty.
In the second verse of this lesson,
it is command: O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)!
Remember the time when, before departure from Makkah, the infidels were planing to prison You, or kill You or
drive You forth, but thither they were plotting against You and hither Allah
Almighty was plotting to support You.
At last, management of God Almighty
overcame. Who can be better plotter than Allah Almighty? The aim of reminding
these favors is that while; the planning of God Almighty is predominant upon
all; then there is no need of fearing others. We should keep His Command in
front of us and fear not any other save Him.
