It will be known by reciting Holy Qur’an
that whatsoever happened in the past or has been happening in the world; has
been manifesting the wonders of the omnipotence of Allah Almighty. In which incident
you will meditate, it will point out that the mankind meets any calamity every
time. Not only have others, but even own people too, gripped up their loins to
trouble him. To which direction he sees, observes any misfortune before him. Miseries
make a circuit all around. Where there is power there is unreasonable injustice
with others. Where there is weakness there is helplessness and friendlessness. If
you study history you will find the result everywhere that those people who were
in power; they tried to overcome the feeble. And the feeble people continued
performing menial services for them. Wicked people continued filling their
treasuries and the simple people used to cry for bread. Does any other thing exist
in the history of human beings save it that a man, as soon as he found any
chance, became king and began to command others that they should go to plough
so that he may get food easily without working, they should bring water in
leather bags carrying on their loins so that he may drink cold water without
trouble, they should stand for ventilating and saving him from flies and mosquitoes
etc, so that he may take rest, they should toil and work hard to solace him? The
kings used to say to their subjects: I am your master. If you will disobey my
order, I shall punish you effectively.
It has been commanded to the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in the verse of Holy Qur,an,
mentioned in the previous lesson that for the mankind, there is no form of
safety from oppressions of the oppressors in the world. You should say to the
people: If you are in search of peace and safety, then you should run unto
Allah Almighty heartily. Except Him; there is none who may save you from
misfortunes. O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): You
should restrain yourself along with those people, who have turned their
attention to God Almighty wholeheartedly after listening to your Sayings and
they call on Him in the morning and the evening.
In the beginning only poor and weak people
embraced Islam as Ammaar, Suhayb, Bilal, Ibne Mas’uud
etc. (May Allah be pleased with them). It is not easy to console such people and
withdraw from haughty and rich people. Much patience is required. In this verse
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is being commanded: You
should suffer but dwell along with such people.
