Lesson
Some circumstances
were described earlier that in which condition and duration; it was commanded
that the Muslims should be ready for the Battle of Tabuuk. The Muslim
had returned dog tired from a Battle. But forthwith; they were ordered that
they should be prepared for another war. Weather was very hot. Every individual
was aspiring to lie down at shady places unnecessarily. Particularly the tired
people, who have come from journey of summer season, cannot be ready to give up
rest. But at such time which promptness was shown by the Muslims, they proved
that they were really sincere and partners of Muslims in adversity, its
instance cannot be found in the world history.
As soon
as the Muslims were commanded to be prepared, they all got ready to obey the
Command. Except three persons, no man of means escaped from joining in the
Battle. Every Muslim was present there; to sacrifice his life for Islam. Those people
who were rich, they presented their wealth and money according to their means,
but some of them were those who gave more than their capacity. Abu Bakr
(May Allah be pleased with him) brought his entire goods. Umar (May
Allah be pleased with him) gave his half wealth. Usman (May Allah be
pleased with him) helped with open heart. This all was not for any worldly greed,
but with true heart, for getting the pleasure of Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam). Then which success
they acquired, certainly they deserved it.
In the previous verse,
it was described ordinarily that these people are successful in the both
Worlds, which was fulfilled in the world exactly as it was commanded; that they
returned from the Battle of Tabuuk as
they desired, and they became very famous in the environs of the world. And all
non-Muslims began to tremble from their names.
In this verse, that ease
and comfort has been mentioned which is ready for them in the Hereafter. For joining
the Army, which was moving for this Battle, they left shady trees, cold water,
comfort of home i.e. everything for the Cause of Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam). For them, there are
verdant Gardens, loaded with Fruits, on the Day of Resurrection. None can drive
them out from that Place. They will dwell there for ever with comfort and ease.
Rivers of cold water will be flowing before them and they will enjoy these all
blessings with pleasure. Which success can be greater than it? Verily, acquiring
for ever, all goods of comfort and ease for oneself; is last limit of good luck
and fortune, by giving up worldly comfort; suffering from thirst, heat and
sunlight which are only for a few days, in obedience and for the Pleasure of
Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). Even today, if any fortunate person is
desirous of these perpetual blessings, the same path of sacrifice is open for
him.
