Stage – 1, Verses –113 & 114 of 286, Secs – 14 of 40 (Part - 1)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
And the Jews say the
Christians follow nothing (true), and the Christians say the Jews follow
nothing (true); yet both are readers of the Scripture. Even thus speak those
who know not. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning
that wherein they differ.

Lesson
laa ya’-la-muuna – (who know not, illiterate, uneducated, ignorant) here ‘ilm means “knowledge about
Heavenly Books, and the persons, who do not have the knowledge, signify towards
the Idolaters and followers of every that religion, which has no base on any
Heavenly Scripture.
Baynahum –
(between them) it aims “the two groups out of them: one is of the Believers and
the other is of the Idolaters and Infidels.
The entire people of the
Scripture are involved in forming religious groups instead of following the real
teachings and truth, bestowed by Allah Almighty. Each group out of them claims
that she is on the straight path and the other all groups have gone astray from
the actual way, for instance; while the Children of Israel saw that the
Christians call the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him) as son of God
Almighty (I seek refuge in ALLAH), then they began to say them Infidels. And when
the Christians saw that the Children of Israel have become
Disbelievers of the Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon Him), they began to say
them Infidels, although, these both groups recite the Scripture bestowed by God
Almighty.
The same condition is of
those people who have not any Heavenly Scripture but they have created
themselves such faiths that they consider themselves on the straight path and
other all the religious groups have gone astray from the right path. The
Idolaters of the Arabia and other Infidels are included in these
people.
The Holy Qur’an
commanded that forming of the religious groups is totally useless. The real
thing is to obey the Commands
of Allah Almighty and to do good works. That person will be on the straight path, who
acts upon these two principles.
And who doth greater
wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the mosques of Allah lest His
name should be mentioned therein, and striveth for their ruin? As for such,
it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the
world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom.

Lesson
Masaajid –
(Mosques) it is plural of Masjid which means the place, where, prayers are offered, place of
worship for Muslims. The word Masjid has been derived from the word Sajdah
which means ‘to bow the body and place the forehead on the ground (to fall
prostration). As per sayings by one of the Scholars, it means
the Inviolable Place of Worship, the temple of Makkah (Masjid-i-Haraam).
For clearness about
revelation grace of this verse two happenings are narrated:
•
The Christians waged a
war against the Children of Israel, burnt the Holy Scripture Torah and
ruined the Temple and city of Jerusalem.
•
The Infidels of Makkah prevented the Muslims from visiting
the House of Ka’-ba
(the temple of Makkah)
during sixth Hijra at the place of Hudaybiah only due to their envy.
The limit of religious
envious and forming groups in the religion by the people of the Scripture had
reached such stage that respect for places of worship concerning other groups
had finished from their hearts. They did not hesitate to ruin these sacred
places and used to prohibit the people of other groups from entering into their
places of worship. Moreover, they all used to claim that they believe in One
God.
The religious scholars
told that as the places of worship are made habitable and populous with the prayers,
so bad deeds and talks into them will be supposed as the destruction of the
mosques. Besides this, all those things, which become cause of deficiency of
the devout and ruin of the places of worship, enter in the order of this verse.
Therefore, we should abstain from those things, due to which, gaiety of the
mosques is lessened and the people stop to come in the mosques.
Allah Almighty has
commanded that it is compulsory for them while they enter the mosque, that their
hearts should tremble due to fear of God but as they don’t stop their
depravities, so, they will get disgraced ignominy in this world and also will suffer
awful Doom in the Day of Resurrection.
