Lesson
Wa-quudu-han-naasu
wal-hijaa-ratu – Its fuel is of
men and stones. It is earmarked toward the Fire of the Hell which will be much
vigorous. It will also burn the stones in addition to the human beings. As
though, the Idols of stones will become fuel of it too, may it be that; the
hint of Al-Hijaa-ratun is toward stony
or hard-hearted human beings.
In the previous lesson the adversary people were invited for competition with
Holy Qur’aan. Now they are being
told, “if you are unable to compete and We say that you shall not be able, then
now, it is clear that it is the Word of God”. And it is evident that the
Messenger, Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the True Prophet. Now if you do not
have faith in Prophet-hood of ‘Muhammad’ (Peace be upon Him) and do not act
upon the commands of Holy Qur’aan, it
shall be the Base of Hell’s Agony. So you should arrange to escape from it
because the Fire of Hell is not the normal fire. But that is the Fire; of which
men and stones will become its fuel. And this Fire is prepared for them who
contradict the commands of Islam, Prophet-hood of Muhammad (peace be upon Him),
Truth of the Divine percepts of Islam and purity of Holy Qur’aan.
Some more matters have also been cleared from this verse:
1.
The matter in which
enemies of Islam particularly “the Quresh”
had claim, “Purity of the words and admonishing the meanings easily”, making humble
in the same, it was proved that this Word is of Allah Almighty.
2.
False gods which people
have adopted instead of One God (Allah Almighty) and ask them for their desires,
those all were refuted.
3.
Punishment of infidelity
was fixed - the Hell.
We should not have any doubt in the Truth of the Holy Qur’aan, purity of Islam, truth and honesty of the Messenger
‘Muhammad’ (Peace be upon Him) because if the entire mankind try collectively
to write any one small surah like Surahs of the Holy Qur’aan, they cannot bring (in which all those excellence must exist
which are held in this Word). Some of those excellence are: pure words,
eloquence and rhetoric, preaching of good manners, explaining the meanings
excellently, material for relief and guidance of all people, instructions for
the mankind in entire matters of difficulties and problems, equally useful for
all the nations of the world etc.
‘Aa-manuu – They believe. Those people who have not
any doubt in the Divinity of God, Prophet-hood of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’
(Peace be upon Him) and truth of Holy Qur’aan.
Wa ‘amilus-Saali-haati – (do good works). The works which are
according to the guidance of Holy Qur’aan
and Sayings of the Messenger (peace be upon Him), pure from badness and
crookedness.
In this verse good tidings have been given to those who believe and do good
works that they will go in the Gardens (Paradise) where all facilities of
comfort and pleasure will exist. The rivers of cool and flavored water will be
flowing into them.
Now it has been cleared that becoming rightful resident of the Heaven and for
entering into it two excellence are necessary for the human being:
·
There must be no doubt
in one’s heart regarding God and His Prophet (Peace be upon Him). (He should perceive
that his worshiped, Lord and Master is Allah Almighty, promise that the
Messenger of God (Peace be upon Him) is true, believe that the Holy Qur’aan is the Word of God and have
faith in the Day of Resurrection).
·
His all deeds must be
according to the commands of Holy Qur’aan
and Sayings of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him). He should not give up any such
work which has been ordered and instructed as mentioned above. He should not commit
any forbidden work.
We have reached the point with the Summary of this verse
that Paradise cannot be gotten only with the good works. Belief and
faith are also necessary with good works and just like this, good works are
necessary also with the belief.
