Lesson
Najasun – (unclean), it is a tense of adjective from n-j-s,
origin of which is najaasata. Najaasata means dirtiness, filth,
impurity, to be licentious.
‘Aylatun – (poverty, the vocation of a beggar, hunger, want,
indigence, need, and it is also used for the poor and needy. A word “‘ayaal”
has been derived from it too. Those all people who depend on an individual for
their provisions, and fulfilling their necessities, are called his ‘Ayaal.
Such individual remains poor usually. In Arabic language, such person is called
‘Aayl, who is responsible to look after and feed many people, and due to
this reason he lives in poverty.
When Infidels of Makkah disclosed; in the beginning by their character
and behavior, that as far as possible they will not let the Muslims live, then
the Muslims were disappointed from living with them together. After the Conquest
of Makkah during 9th AH, it was proclaimed at the occasion of
Hajj (Pilgrimage), that admission of Idolaters in the Inviolable Place of
Worship at Makkah (Masjidal-Haraam) is forbidden for future. Only
Muslims can enter in this Sacred Place.
The Idolaters disclosed their enmity with the Muslims and that their
hearts were full of malice, envy and hostility against the Believers without
any proper reason. These are such things which destroy the purity of the heart,
because those have enmity against the belief and politeness. And in the world,
only these both things exist which can purify the mankind and make him clean. Therefore,
the Muslims are instructed that they should not let the Idolaters and those,
who have evil spirit and bad thoughts, go near Inviolable Place of Worship (the
Square Building at Makkah).
After that when it was observed that “the Muslims cannot organize themselves;
when they are living with the wrongdoers”, then it was commanded that they
should drive out the Idolaters from the entire Arabian territory.
