Commentary
In this holy verse, Allah Almighty
has described about His those glorious slaves who have been treated with the
special kindness.
1. ‘An-Nabiy-yiina - It is Plural of Nabii.
Nabii means Prophet (peace be
upon Him). Those Selected Servants of Allah Almighty, Who were sent in the
world to deliver the Message of Allah Almighty to the human beings. This
Message was sent unto the Prophets (peace be upon them) by Allah Almighty
through an Angel (peace be upon Him), they used to feel the arrival of the
Angel and transmit the Message to the humankind without any reduction or
increase in it.
2. ‘As-Siddii-qiina - (the saints), plural of Siddiiq, which means ‘a faithful witness of the truth’. It is
also a title of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may
Allah be pleased with him) – the companion of last Messenger of Allah Almighty,
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). ‘As-Siddii-qiina are
those people, whose hearts accept the Messages of the Prophets as true
naturally. They do not need any reason or proof.
3. ‘Ash-Shuha-daaa-‘a - (the martyrs), it is plural of Shahiid, these are the people, who are ready every time to
sacrifice their lives upon the commands of Prophets (peace be upon them) and
produce evidence of the truth with their own blood.
4. ‘As-Saalihiina - (the righteous people), it is
plural of Saalih.
These are such persons, whose nature is good innately and who have purified
their souls and bodies from the evils, licentiousness, lewdness and impurities.
These four kinds of persons are
excellent out of the entire human beings. Allah Almighty has bestowed them
superiority and eminence upon all other people and comforted them with His
Bounty.
The classification of their
dignities is the same as it has been kept in the verse. That is to say, the
Messengers and the Prophets (peace be upon them) have the highest ranks among
the human beings. Junior to them is the degree of As-Siddii-qiin. Then the rank of ‘Ash-Shuha-daaa-‘a - (the
martyrs) comes after them. The last degree in this category is ‘As-Saalihiina - (the
righteous people). These all persons are replete with the blessings, nobility
and mercy of Allah Almighty according to their ranks. It has already been mentioned
earlier that the human beings are not equal in accordance with their ability
and qualifications. Excellent out of the remaining people (excluding the
above-mentioned persons) are those, who remain busy in obedience of Allah
Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
Fellow-ship of the Prophets (peace be upon them), the Saints, the Martyrs and
the Righteous (may Allah be agreed upon them) will also become their fortune
according to their degree, qualification and ability. It does not aim that they
will become exactly like them, however, they will be counted into their
servants and their relationship will be connected with them. It is a very big
kindness that this relationship has been named as “a best of company”.
Otherwise, it is a very greatness of luck too to be accepted as their servants.
We pray in our each prayer that we
should be guided to go on the Straight Path, the Path of those who have been
described above. Surah ‘Al-Faatiha (Chapter -1 “the Opening”) teaches us the lesson,
“Show us the Straight Path, the Path of those whom Thou hast favoured”, “Not
(the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray”. Company
of these great people will be in those peoples’ luck, who will obey Allah
Almighty and follow His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him).
