In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

These are the bounds of Allah. And whoso obeyeth Allah and His Messenger, He
will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow, where such will
dwell for ever. And that will be the great success.
14.
And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His Messenger and transgresseth His limits, He
will make him enter Fire, where he will dwell for ever; his will be a
shameful doom.

Lesson
HuduudUllaah – (The bounds of Allah), Huduud is plural of Hadd which means limit, bound. Hadd is the place, where any thing ends. That is to say the last edge
and such line, which is not permitted to be crossed. HuduudUllaah aims, those fixed principles,
rules and restrictions, getting on which is not allowed. For instance;
restrictions about eating and drinking, fixed portions of inherited wealth etc.
yata-‘adda - (transgressing, passing
beyond, violating, breaking), ta-‘addii,
‘adwaan are also from this
word’s origin, which means “crossing the prescribed bounds and disobeying the
orders of Allah Almighty by breaking the restrictions.
Allah Almighty guided in
detail about the number of matrimony and orphans. Then He explained the commandments
regarding heritage, its fixed portions and the legacy.
After all, it is being commanded,
“an eternal blessing of the Paradise and successful life in the world is for
those persons who obey Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessing
and peace be upon him). Those people who will not admit the prescribed laws and
will overstep the bounds, they will be thrown into the Hell and suffer from a
shameful doom.
It is known from this
verse that transgressing in the distribution of inheritance is the cause of
torment by Allah Almighty. Those Muslims should take it a warning, who refuse
to give the portion of heritage to the girls and other heirs. It is from the Saying
of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him), “The person, who forfeits the heir’s right from inheritance, Allah
Almighty will forfeit him from his share in Paradise on the Day of
Resurrection.” (Ibn Maajah, Kitaabul
Wasaayaa, Baabul Hayf fil Wasi-yyah 3.4/3, Al-Hadith: 2703)
In these verses, there
is a promise of Paradise from Allah Almighty on obedience of His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
and a threat of the Hell for His disobedient.
