The Natural Religion
Chapter TAA-HAA – 20
‘A-‘uu-zu
Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Here it has been described that from the beginning, We chose
Moses (peace be upon him) from the Children of Israel and under Our Security he
was brought up in the house of those people who were his enemies and who used
to get the sons of Children of Israel killed immediately after birth. Then We
arranged to send Moses unto Shuayb (peace be upon them) evasively for
his training, where he lived for ten years as a servant. Shuayb (peace
be upon him) arranged to wed him with own daughter. After completion of the
tenure of service, Moses (peace be upon him) departed along with his wife and
the flock of goats. Then We caused to reach them the holy valley and there We
Showed him Our special Token, so that he may know his Lord. Such Sign was that
We illuminated a green tree with Our Light. And when Moses (peace be upon him)
turned his full attention unto that Light, then We instructed him concerning
the perfect articles of the faiths.
The tree was used as a telephone. A call was made from it: I am Allaah
and you are hearing My Voice. I appointed you My Messenger. Therefore you
should have faith that there is no worthy of worship save Me. And believe in it
that the Day of Resurrection shall come after death. Moreover, every mankind
will be rewarded or punished in accordance with own good or wrong deeds. Therefore,
these three faiths were valued:
1.
Doctrine of (God’s) Oneness.
2.
Belief in
Messenger-hood.
3.
Belief in the Day of
Resurrection.
After that, it is commanded: It is the way of My worship that
for My Remembrance; you should establish the prayer timely and regularly.
Then the miracles were bestowed, out of which, two miracles have
been mentioned. Behavior with Muhammad, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was similar also. He was chosen for
Messenger-hood from the people of the entire world and was brought up under Allaah’s
Own particular protection. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
was not sent for training unto any other. Allaah Almighty trained him
Himself by correct inspirations and true dreams. Then He sent down Gabriel
(peace be upon him) by making him His Own Token, and by means of him; the
Greatest Miracle was bestowed in the form of Holy Qur’an, and offering
prayer was instructed.
In the past, the prayer was in any one form from (a) standing
position, (b) genuflection position, (c) prostration position and (d) sitting
reverentially. The last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) was taught prayer; in which above mentioned all four forms were collected.
Beliefs of the Religion were perfected, in which basic faiths were kept the
same three - Doctrine of (God’s) Oneness, Belief in Messenger-hood, and Belief
in the Day of Resurrection. Remaining all faiths were settled as requisites of
these three beliefs.
One purpose of mentioning about Moses and other Prophets (peace
be upon them) is that the mankind should understand that all Prophets (peace be
upon them) are as rings of one chain and they all taught such religion which
basically is one. If there is any difference; that is in details.
