Lesson
As we discussed earlier
that the main cause of not accepting the religion Islam by the Children
of Israel was their envy. They were burning that why the prophet-hood
has been bestowed to the Children of Ishmael, snatching from the Children
of Israel. They were refusing to admit the Just, only due to the fire of
envy and jealousy.
They wanted also to
include the Muslims with their disbeliever companions after giving up their
religion Islam. So they used to try for raising different types of suspicious
thoughts in their hearts. They used to criticize the religion Islam and the personality
of the Last Prophet Muhammad (glory, grace, peace and blessings be upon Him). They
imagined that if the Muslims will not leave their religion then at the very
least, they will become suspicious certainly from their religion side. So thence
the religion Islam will become weak.
Allah Almighty commanded
the Muslims to resist the attack and remove the attempt of the Children
of Israel, that they must not attend to them. Moreover, wait for the
proclamation of the last command Jihad (to try and strive) of God Almighty and
during this period, keep up following two basic principles.
(1) Establish the
prayer.
(2) Pay the
poor-due.
These two principles are
like two main pillars due to which the power of both (individual as well as the
nation) increases and that cannot be rebelled from the religion.
Besides other unlimited
advantages, organization of the nation becomes powerful due to establishing the
prayer. Relationship among the people themselves becomes profound. And they
remain united for one another. The wealth is divided with the poor-due. The
poor becomes rich and they cannot be changed due to greed and cause of their
financial weakness.
It has also been told
that if you will continue this good act then you will get reward from your Lord
Almighty because He witnesses your every act. Even, a little try of any person,
does not become fruitless.
So to escape ourselves
from the conspiracies and attacks of the enemies, we should hold with firmness
these two principles.
111. And they
say: None entereth Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian.
These are their own desires. Say: Bring your proof (of what ye state) if ye
are truthful.
112.
Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good,
his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither
shall they grieve.

111. Wa qaaluu lany-yad-khu-lal-jannata
’illaa man- kaana Huudan ‘aw Nasaaraa. Tilka ‘amaaniyyu-hum. Qul haatuu

112. Balaa man ‘aslama wajha-huu LIllaahi wa

Lesson
‘Amaaniyyu-hum: (their desires), it is plural of ‘Amniah which means desire.
wajha-huu: (his own face), literal meaning of wajhi is face or mouth, but often in the sentence, its aims body or
an individual. Here it indicates towards these meanings.
The worst depravity of
all the previous nations and ancient religious people is that they destroyed
the truth; making separate groups between themselves, which in fact, was just
one and was bestowed to all equally. Now, every group falsifies the other and
just imagines itself only the heir of truth. The Children of Israel were
involved in this depravity too and they thought that the truth is held only
with them, only they will proceed to the Heaven. The Holy Qur’an commanded that these are their self made stories and false
desires. They should produce if they have any proof.
Now Holy Qur’an has been revealed, so that, the entire
groups may be gathered on this common truth. Piety is only in becoming sincere
to Allah Almighty and doing good works. None of the groups can claim that she
is true and other all are liars. God Almighty Commands that the individual, who
will obey the Commands of Allah Almighty and will choose the path of goodness,
he will succeed. Doing so, neither he will have any grief of his previous life,
nor any fear of next happening. It is the sign of the Saints of God Almighty’s
satisfaction (Servants of Allah Almighty).
