Commentary
It was commanded in the first
verse of this Chapter: Keep your duty to Allah Almighty, do not cross His
bounds. Do not quarrel due to a little matters, because if you became obedient
of Allah Almighty then, there will be no chance of any dispute. It is found
that it is the only way to finish the mutual disputes and that all of you should
bow heads before the Command of One God Almighty.
Allah Almighty commanded in the
second verse that when you say yourselves believers then you have to abide by
one way. Saying only; by oneself; a believer; is not sufficient but there is a
need of producing the signs of Belief into oneself. Then, those signs were
described, detail of which, we have discussed in the previous lesson.
In this verse, the reward and
remuneration, which Allah Almighty has fixed for the believers, have been
described that they, not only say with their tongues; themselves believers, but
try to adopt the habits and qualities like believers too.
It is commanded that only those
people are true believers who have these five characteristics (which were
discussed in the previous lesson). Notwithstanding that everyone says oneself a
believer, none is happy from the title of infidel for oneself, but one will
gain one’s end at that time when one will prove by one’s deeds and manners that
verily one is Believer.
For such people are higher
grades of honor with Allah Almighty. According to their grades, God Almighty
will bestow to them His propinquity and closeness. Their ordinary mistakes will
be forgiven. And they will be provided all kinds of provisions for eating,
drinking and dwelling with ease and comfort; so that they live happy in the
blessings of God Almighty always. And they will find all luxurious things,
while residing with respect in their dwelling places.
The intelligent people have
concluded from these verses that acceptance (by tongue) of God Almighty, the
last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Day of
Resurrection is sufficient for entering into Islamic Community. The individual
who admits it and adopts the way of living with Muslims, entered in Islam, and
then his/her safety and help is overall responsibility of all Muslims.
Then he/she should instill the truth of Belief and try to adopt
those habits wholeheartedly, which were discussed in the previous lesson.
