Lesson
‘Assasa
– (founded,
laid a foundation), it is a past tense, origin of which is taasiis; and
derived from ‘asasa. From it another word has come out – ‘asaas, use
of which is famous as foundation, basis, root and source. ‘Assun is it’s
another form; which is used for the same meaning.
Jurufun – (precipice, abyss), a pit or a trench, brink of
which has been excavated by flowing water and which is near to fall.
Haarin is the subject from ha-wa-ra and fan-haara, which is later, that has the same
origin and it is past tense. The word ‘Anhaar means
“to fall down”.
Masjid Qubaa and that Mosque,
which was built for opposing the first and according to command of Qur’aan,
it was named as Masjid Zaraar,
were already being discussed. It has
been mentioned that it was better to stand for praying in the first Mosque Qubaa),
which was built by the honest, pure and true people only for the worship of
Allah Almighty, than standing to pray in that Mosque (Masjid Zaraar) which
was built by malicious people and those who spread dissension.
It is commanded: The person who builds any Mosque with the intention
that there; worshipers of Allah Almighty and His obedient servants should be
assembled for offering Prayer, is better than the person whose intentions are wandering.
By building a mosque he doesn’t intend to acquire pleasure of Allah Almighty,
but for different worldly purposes. Its example is just like as someone who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, definitely one day, it will
overhang at the precipice, so that it would be toppled. Later on, due to his ill-will,
he will fall in the Fire of the Hell along with his doings.
It is obvious from this verse that fear and pleasure of Allah Almighty
should be basis of a mankind’s every action. Except it, other all intentions
will be finished with the worldly life and the deeds which were based on them, which
were apparently good; all will be wasted.
