Lesson
This topic
begins from the previous two verses that the Prophets and the Messengers (peace
be upon Them) came in the world and passed away. Like this, the Last Messenger,
Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was sent for a prescribed period. But His (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) religion will
remain till the General Resurrection, and the Scripture brought by Him will
remain a source of Guidance always for the nations and people of the world.
Therefore, showing
weakness and laziness in the matters of religion will be opposite to the wisdom
and sense. Those people who exposed broken-hearted after hearing false news
about martyrdom of Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii
Wasallam) in the Battlefield of ‘Uhud, they wronged. The Religion
belongs to Allah Almighty and He is Eternal and Immortal. There is no mortality
for Himself.
Continuing the
same Series of the Word, there is mention in this verse about the Prophets, the
Messengers (peace be upon them) and their good disposition followers
(companions) (may Allah be pleased with them). So that the followers of
the last Messenger, Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii
Wasallam) (Muslim ‘Ummah) may learn from them.
Rib-biyyuuna – (the devoted men), this word has
been derived from the word ‘Rabb’ which is an adjective of Allah
Almighty. Rib-biyyuun means those people who have relation
with their Lord, seekers and lovers of Allah Almighty. The Jews people used to
say their scholars as Rabbii, plural of which is Rib-biyyuun.
It is being
commanded, “Often it happened that the devotee people and the pious servants of
Allah Almighty fought against His enemies supporting the Prophets (peace be
upon them). Good or bad, every sort of time comes in the war. Sometimes one
group wins and the other is defeated and sometimes opposite to it. But their
steadfast feet never trembled. Their spirit and strength were never weakened.
They suffered thousand times, but neither they were lazy, nor had shown
weakness and nor were they brought down. Allah Almighty keeps such people friends
who are steadfast and have stable temperament. The Muslims would have to
produce these virtues in to them for becoming beloved of Lord Almighty”.
