Standing Straight

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 فَٱسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ (112

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ (113

112.  So tread thou the straight path as thou art commanded, and those who turn (unto Allah) with thee, and transgress not. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do. 113.  And incline not toward those who do wrong lest the Fire will touch you, and ye have no protecting friends against Allah, and afterward ye would not be helped.

112.  Fas-taqim  kamaaa  ‘umirtu  wa  man-  taaba  ma-‘aka  wa  laa  tat-gaw.  ‘InnaHuu  bimaa  ta’-maluuna  Basiir. 113.  Wa  laa  tar-kanuuu  ‘ilal-laziina  zalamuu  fata-massa-kumun-Naaru,  wa  maa  la-kum-min-  duu-Nillaahi  min  ‘aw-li-yaaa-‘a  summa  laa  tunsa-ruun.

Commentary

Laa  tat-gaw – (transgress not, you should not violate), it is a negative sentence from the word tug-yaan. Tug-yaan means “to cross the line, to transgress”.

Laa  tar-kanuuu – (do not incline, you should not lean), it is also a negative sentence from the word “rakuuna”, origin of which is r-k-n. Meaning of rakuuna is “to bend, to incline, to be abashed”.

It is clear that bundle of wishes has been filled in the human being and his life cannot run without fulfillment of his desires, but having control over them and fulfilling them by living under the limitations of the Divine Way of the Religion, is compulsory for a successful life. If someone violated the limits, he went astray. Striking him out from the limits of the Divine Law and misleading; is the actual aim of his enemies. They try their best to motivate “Life cannot be enjoyed without fulfilling the desires fearlessly”.

In this verse, it has been instructed that the Muslims should neither transgress and nor listen to those who went astray. They should tread the straight path by following and obeying the command of God’s last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

Allah Almighty has been seeing your entire deeds. Behold! You should not be entangled in the trap of so-called independence. Otherwise, you will be included in the list of wrongdoers and the Fire of the Hell will take you in its entanglement. Remember! There is no protecting friend of yours save Allah Almighty.
