Lesson
In the previous
verse, it was commanded by God Almighty that “those persons who will repent
from their sins, evil doings, and be penitent on these sins, intend not to do
so in future and amend make manifest (the truth), I shall forgive them, these
are the persons towards whom I relent with Kindness and I shall bring them
under the shadow of Mercy. And I am the Relenting, the Merciful”. The sinners
and the evildoers were preached by means of this command and they were induced
to become Good. Those people are really the foreseeing who will reap advantage
from this concession.
Now in this verse,
it has been described about the individuals who do not reap advantage from this
concession. Moreover, they continue remaining on the wrong due to stubbornness
and anger. The people, who adopted the way of Infidelity and then dwelled on it
for ever, they turned never towards the straight-way and the path of the Faith,
lived sinful and an evildoing life always and died in the same condition of
infidelity; such persons are accursed of Allah, accursed of His Angels (peace
be upon Them) and accursed of entire those people, who have the power to curse.
It means that they went astray from the Mercy of God Almighty, blessing of the
Angels (peace be upon Them) and kindness of the human beings. Moreover, their
punishment would be that they will remain into the Fire of Hell for ever, they
will meet their doom constantly and continuously and they will never get any time
to escape themselves from the wrath.
The teachings of
Islam regarding forgiveness and punishment are infinite, natural and fair. At
one side, Islam has taught the method of penitence that; whenever the human
being will feel the sense of sin, he should correct himself recognizing it,
then he will be able to obtain forgiveness from God Almighty. On the other hand,
it has been proclaimed that the individual who will continue doing sins and
evils, and does not abstain from the infidelity and polytheism with God
Almighty, becoming prisoner of God’s curse he is deprived of the Mercy of Allah
Almighty.
163. Your God is One
God; there is no God save Him, the Beneficent, the
Merciful.

163. Wa ‘Ilaahukum
‘Ilaahunw-Waahid. Laaa ‘ilaaha ‘illaa
Huwar-Rahmaa-nur-Rahiim.

Lesson
The important
question of Islam is the matter of Unity (Oneness of God Almighty), which has
been repeated in the Holy Qur’an
again and again. The foundation of the entire Faiths and base of all the good
works has been established on this Belief that Lord of the entire mankind,
Master of the Universe, Entitled of the Worship and Accountant on the Day of
Resurrection is only One God. Only that person goes close to the sins, evils
and badness; who neither believes in the Existence of the Most Superior and the
Eternal Life of God Almighty and nor in His Power, Strength and the Doomsday.
As much depravity, un-civilization,
dark notion and worshiping of whims existed in the People of the Scripture and
Atheist nations, Islam presented the greatest Belief regarding the Unity
(Oneness of God) to remove this tendency and told that there is only One God
Almighty, Who fulfills the entire necessities of every human being. He is Lord
Almighty; Who helps during the times of difficulties, troubles and pains, Who
tests after granting the blessings and favors, Who provides the eatables and
drinkable, and forgives the sins with His Mercy. So, He is the Only One
to be Worshiped, to be Called every time, to be deemed our Master and Lord. We
should have sense about the counting of our good and bad deeds and being answerable
in His Court on the Day of Resurrection.
There is only one
faith, which is “the Unity” (Oneness of God), which helps us to determine unto
the Straight Path. We shall become thoughtful after obeying this belief, anyhow;
we must not go astray from the actual path, and we must not treat others with
bad behavior. As God Almighty is the Merciful upon us, likewise we should behave
with mercy and kindness also with His creature.
Particularly; two
matters have come before us from this verse:
·
Allah Almighty is the only Life to be worshiped, to be obeyed
and our Commander in Chief. There is none to be fallen prostrate before except
Him.
·
Kind nature with blessings of God Almighty is with entire Grace
and Mercy. No doubt; He is the Omnipotent and Very Powerful but His Mercy is
containing over the entire things. The mankind should never be hopeless and
desperate from His mercy.
Whether the
difficulties are how much bigger, contest is how much strong, even then if we
are on the Just, God Almighty shall help us. He will never return us
disappointed from His Court.
