Lesson
We have already learnt the
lesson in this verse in the previous lessons and now it is being repeated again
to warn the Children of Israel and the Christians. Their wrong
beliefs have been rejected with the proof of common sense in it.
The People of the
Scripture were very much pride of it that they are from the generation of the
Prophets (peace be upon Them), who are extremely Accepted Servants of God
Almighty. So they will not be punished due to their sins. Also the good acts of
their Reverends will be useful for them and they will be forgiven freely and
easily. So, they do not feel any particular need to be saved themselves from
the sins and to incline unto the goodness.
Under the effect of this
wrong belief, they used to consider their sins and the matters against the
religion as correct. And they did not use to distinguish among goodness and
badness in their daily routine works and dealing. They use to think also that
they are on the path, upon which, their reverends were standing already, so they have no need to
believe in the last Messenger, Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him).
Allah Almighty rendered
final as null and void to their wrong religious trends and commanded that He
knows well about those people who have passed away. They were firm on the
foundation of Unity. Neither they were Jews and nor Christians. They were only
of Allah Almighty leaving all others.
Their goodness cannot be
useful for you or any other individual. Only that goodness is useful for any
person or nation which they earned. Good acts of a person can neither save any
other and nor harm to anyone. So, it is stupidity to trust in the acts of
others.
When a nation uses to
sit down, trusting in the inheritance of their Reverends and giving up to do
good acts, it becomes impossible for that nation to live, to acquire success
and betterment. Many nations have been ruined and destroyed due to this
misunderstanding. O Allah Almighty! Keep us on the true religious trends and
bestow us strength to do the good acts.
