Lessons of Suratul – ‘An-‘aam came to an end by the
Grace of Allah Almighty, but in fact, its ending should be taken as beginning
to think into its guidelines, and understanding the commands revealed in it,
which is the best source of instilling the object of Islam. Its last verse is
an ocean of sciences, out of which, the divers will be bringing out the
precious pearls.
Some more advices have been caused to engage the attention as under. All
the subjects of this Chapter will be obvious by keeping them under
consideration and it will be helpful to understand Islam, if Allah Almighty
wills:
1.
The name of this Chapter is ‘An-‘aam, which means
“Cattle”. The cattle is useful for burdening and other necessities of the human
being, for example; it provides meat and milk, which are used for food and
drinking, wool to escape from the cold weather etc. The entire cattle are
servants of the mankind and he takes work from them as he wishes. Like this,
grains, vegetables, fruit and flowers etc. all these things have been produced
for the human being, which are used for eating, drinking, making clothes etc.
After mentioning all these things in the Chapter, lastly, it is described: The
mankind is higher in rank and excellence in creation among all others.
2.
Mankind is a Viceroy of
Allah Almighty in the earth. It is such a proclamation, due to which a mankind
gets knowledge about himself. He should know that Allah Almighty has appointed for
His works separately to every person by giving him a particular power. That is
to say; every individual is a government servant. You would have observed in
the world: How much higher in rank, a government servant considers himself,
than others? He does never bow his head before any other person, and desires
own respect from the entire people. Similarly, every individual should have
perception of his own respect and honor, which he gains due to being servant of
the Highest Government, his Owner and Master i.e. slave of Allah Almighty. From
here, the lesson of human equality is learned. The entire people are slaves of
One Master. In this sense, none has any superiority over any other. From it,
perception of self-respect grows into every person.
3.
In the slavery of Allah
Almighty, (according to English language which is called “Adoration”, according
to Persian language which is called “Bandgii and according to
Arabic language is ‘ibaadat”) the entire human beings are equal.
Neither is anyone elder, nor little because of nation, country, caste, dynasty,
family or tribe, but it is evident that abilities and strength of all of them
are not equal. Their alls’ Mental and physical strengths are separate and
different from one another, but that strength or power, which anyone has, has
been given by Allah Almighty. And the reason of fluctuation in the strength of
everyone (more or less, decrease or increase) is that every person is being
tested separately and individually.
The method of test is that a prescribed Way has been fixed for all human
beings, and its marks of the path, signs and tokens have been spread everywhere
in the world. Then the human beings have been caused to understand too by
sending the Scriptures through the Messengers (peace be upon Them) from time to
time. The Callers towards this Path exist on every step also and those too, who
misguide. Every mankind is capable commonly to know both kinds of them. And
then, there are some particular powers, which exist more in some people and
less in some.
It
is duty of every human being that he/she should either go on that
(straight) Path by searching and recognizing by own sense or should remain near
to it as close as it may be possible. The people should spend their entire
powers in search of and going on the Straight Path.
