Lesson
‘Ista-‘iinuu – (seek help). When anyone feels a
difficult task, he needs help of any other person/thing.
‘As-Sabru – (power of endurance, and tolerance), it
is needed every time. Whenever any good work is being performed, doing it whole
hearted is a patience and whenever someone has to suffer any calamity, bearing
it without confusion is also tolerance. During working hard, the patience is
necessary also. To keep the wishes pressed needs patience too. In short, the
patience is required every time and if we see; it is the foundation of every
good virtue.
God Almighty bestowed
the human being two things, soul and body, and the both are the great
blessings. Duty of the soul is to attain knowledge, to devise and to take the
work from the body. And it is the duty of the body to move in accord with the
intention of the soul. The prayer is a source of gratitude for these spiritual
and bodily blessings. Recognizing God Almighty is the thanks of the knowledge. The
gratitude of the blessings of standing position is that someone should pray God
Almighty in straight standing position, then bow and pray in this position and
then fall prostrate and pray in this position; that due to His blessings hands
from elbows, legs from knees, hands and feet from wrists and ankles can bend.
This is the great blessings, otherwise if any joint becomes stiff, then it
would have a severe thrashing. Then someone should sit down and think that how
is it a great blessing? Remember the blessing of turning the neck at the time
of saying salaam to the right and then to the left. At last someone
should thank God with tongue also adopting every position of the body with
intention. It is called a Prayer.
Al- Khaashi-iin – (humble-minded); the individuals who
suppose themselves weak and feeble without help of God, they are called ‘al- Khaashi-iin. It is the great
worship of the heart to assert his humility during standing position, bowing
position, falling prostrate position and
in sitting position before God Almighty, because in the prostrate position, all
limbs of the body bend which is a sign of capability to work and health of the
body. So the prostration is the best form for declaration of the gratitude and
conception of helplessness. We should think that if the body parts do not turn
then the human being is helpless and cripple. From it, those people should
learn who deem the prayer useless.
Yazun-nuuna – they know, they presume. This verse
signifies toward attaining the virtue, which has a specific degree in Faith. If
anybody does not have humility in his heart, then he should think that he would
have to face his Lord in his every deed, motion and comfort. Without His help,
he can do nothing. His Lord is with him every time. He knows his every
condition, listens to his voice and observes his every movement. As his thought
will become matured gradually, his faith will increase. At last, the prayer and
worship will become easy for him and the virtue of tolerance will begin to
reveal.
Becoming good-natured and for guidance of others, there is no way without it. The other thing with
which prayer and worship becomes easy, that is Belief in the Day of
Resurrection. On that Day everyone will be rewarded or awarded (the future
reward of virtues or torture, agony, anguish due to wicked deeds) according to one’s
own deeds, which he performed or committed during his first life (in this
world). When the thought will become matured, will two good manners be produced,
from which the faith will become matured:
•
Fear of the Wrath of God Almighty.
•
Hope of His Mercy.
Result of the maturity
of the Belief will be humility, and due to humility, offering prayer will
become easy, and it will result the patience, which is root of all good
manners.
This small Section of
Holy Qur’aan is an abstract of all
real teachings. How beautifully the Children of Israel are being
invited towards the religion Islam and along with it the Believers of Islam are
being taught about the principles of Islam. Islam has proved through these
types of commands that its principles are natural. Opposing them is actually
opposing the humanity. Islam has come to purify its ancient form from all kinds
of evil, which is common in Jewish, Christianity and other religions of the
world. Israelite are plaintiff of religious and scholars, so it is their duty
to recognize and understand Islam, because it is the last form of that, which
was held in actual Torah, Psalms and Gospel (old and new Testament (the Bible)
and all worldly Heavenly Scriptures.
