Lesson
Islam means subjection and obedience.
That person is a Muslim who, whenever is commanded to perform any good work,
obeys immediately. Condition of one’s heart is not under discussion. Whosoever became
obedient and submissive to the Commands of God Almighty and Sayings of His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), became Muslim.
It comes out from this discussion
that the individual who lived like Muslims and adopted the manners of own life
as of the Muslims, from which; apparently no difference is seemed between the
Muslims and that person, we shall also count him/her a Muslim under outward
law. And we shall treat him/her as other Muslims.
It is duty of the Muslim society to
keep the traditions and customs correct collectively. In all conditions, anyhow;
that person will be considered a Muslim who accepts them. If false traditions
and customs have been established, then entire community is responsible for it
collectively. Only that person cannot be criticized who accepted. It is sufficient
for making him/her a Muslim who accepted them.
However, that individual is higher
in rank who believed wholeheartedly and admitted sincerely. Some fortunate people
get this belief in the beginning sometimes, but maximum people attain such
belief sometime more and sometime less gradually, running on outward
instructions of Islam, and it can be recognized by means of some tokens and
signs, which are mentioned in the Sayings (Ahaadith)
of Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). This
Belief, Certainty and Confidence is called Iman.
Some people are so much fortunate
that Holy Qur’an has admitted their
Belief and Fidelity, and has verified clearly that they are Believers. Besides this,
the proof regarding some people exists that they are Believers and Heavenly;
according to the Sayings of Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him). Others people are filed in Islam but it is not in our power to say
about them that they are certainly Believers. In whom we observe the signs of
Belief in accord with the Commands of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), we can presume only that they are
Believers.
The Muslims, who immigrated from Makkah (Muhaajiriin) and inhabitants of Madinah
(Ansaar) are called in this verse that
in truth they are Believers, because immigrants sacrificed their lives, kin and
everything for the Cause of God Almighty, whereas inhabitants of Madinah took them in and helped them in
all respect.
Those people who say that condition
of the belief of every individual is the same, neither it increases and nor
decreases, aim of them from Iman
(Belief) is Islam, relation of which is with outward deeds. Remaining people
who are convinced that the Belief increases as well as decreases, aim of them
from the Belief is such internal certainty which cannot be known by any other except
Allah Almighty.
