Many commandments have been
given to the Muslims in previous two lessons. Some of them are for special
occasions and others are common. Two commandments out of the common; need
special attention of the Muslims. The entire badness of our society can be
driven away if these two rules are followed. No depravity of the society could
be produced in to us if these principles continued also afterwards to be acted
upon likewise earlier. But alas! We disregarded them and now the result of our
negligence is before us. Those two principles are:
1.
Ta-‘aawanuu ‘alalbirri
wat-taqwaa – (help one another unto
righteousness and pious duty).
2.
Wa laa ta-‘aawanuu
‘alal-‘ismi wal-‘udwaan – (And
help not one another unto sin and transgression).
We have been listening the
words “ta-‘aawan and laa ta-‘aawan”
(Help and do not help) since long. Let’s understand their meanings today, as
the meanings, which have been described in the Holy Qur’aan.Ta-‘aawan means to help one another and laa ta-‘aawan mean ‘not to help one another and turn face. It has been told in this
verse, “in which matters, you should help others, and which is the occasion
where you cannot help others”? It has been decided in two sentences where,
there is no room of any doubt. That is to say; help one another unto
righteousness and pious duty, and help not one another unto sin and
transgression. Birr means righteousness and Taqwaa means
‘to escape from evil deeds. We should help one another in these two matters. ‘Ism means
sin, evil, and ‘udwaan means transgression upon someone. We should never help
anyone in these two matters. If it is said in clear words, you can take it as,
“Help the good people in their good deeds and do not go near the evildoers, nor
help in their evil deeds”.
Those all deeds come under
the heading of Birr, due to which the people gain. Taqwaa is
fear of Allah Almighty. The act due to which any person is punished
either in the world or on the Doomsday or at both places, is called ‘ism. ‘Udwaan means
“to effect one’s purpose by pressing the weak than oneself”.
The Form of Ta-‘aawan. The entire people
should assemble at any place and devise mutually that, “We all shall help him
collectively, who will work for betterment of the public and escape from the
sins”. And the form of laa ta-‘aawan is the decision by all people, “We shall break off all
connections collectively with him, who will do evils and press the weak”. After
establishing in such a manner, it is impossible that anyone might do evil or
attain one’s object by pressing the weak.
Now everybody should think,
“Are we not doing against the above-mentioned principles”? If this condition is
maintained as it is, then entire world will suffer at last. Good people will
expire gradually by pressing and the bad will be living in the whole world.
When it would be so, then the entire world will ruin and everything will be
finished.
