Be careful
from your actual enemies!
Surah MAAA-‘IDAH (The Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)
‘A-‘uu-zu
Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

In
the beginning of Islam, when it was coming into existence in its original form before
the people of the world, different nations, which were dwelling in the Arab,
went all of them against It. The only reason of their enmity was that Islam
desired to make and keep the entire human beings equal brothers of one another.
But those people had formed a habit that they would have to keep themselves in
power and all other people should live under their control, because every group
and nation wished its own greatness. So they had all evils into themselves like
quarrels, evil-living, beating and looting one another, and they were happy in
this condition. Islam wanted to establish the way of peace, safety and well-being,
and tried to bar them from those miserable affairs. They had considered that if
it would be so, then there would be no chance for anyone of them to set up
their chief-ship in future. Therefore, they all were drawn up in a battle array
to ruin Islam and could not understand that by doing so, they were preparing
field for choking one another forever.
The
Muslims have been acquainted with this danger in the verse, we recited in the
previous lesson that the Jews and the Christians have been involved as such in
the selfishness, as other disbelievers. It was told in Surah ‘Aali- ‘Imraan openly, “Let not the believers take
disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers”, they are selfish,
and the selfish person cannot be a friend of anyone. Because the Jews and the
Christians are also like them, so it has been declared here that hope of
friendship with them is useless. A well-wisher for himself only and a
well-wisher for the entire humanity cannot be friends and well-wishers of each
other.
It
has been described, O Muslims! You should not seek friendship of the Jews and
the Christians. They have bent upon casual friendship among themselves mutually
and with other infidels. They cannot be your friends, this mutual friendship of
theirs and association with the infidels is until their selfishness permits
them. You should not be their comrades, because whosoever will be their friend
and associate, will become like them. The reason is that you are morally at a
higher stage than them, because you are well-wishers of all, and they are in a
lower field than you because their slogan is selfishness, and it is clear that
letting someone fall from height to down is easier than lifting someone from
depth to height. Therefore, if you met them cordially, they would cause to fail
you easily and make you selfish, and you would not be able to elevate and make
them well-wishers equally for all. So, you should understand! If anyone of you
took them for friend, would become like them.
Then
it has been commanded, “Think not that you will make them as you are by meeting
them, because Allah Almighty does not guide the tyrants unto the Straight Path.
They are cruel because they see nothing except their own gain, and it is the
main cause of quarrel in the world, if everybody keeps own advantage in front
and suppress others for this purpose, it is called tyranny”.
The
world knows nowadays that these people are ready to ruin the world for keeping
their affairs up and they are happy because of having Atom Bombs etc. They are
glad that none can rebel against them. It is ‘the End’ of the selfishness and
it has reached such limit due to the only reason that the Muslims have also
been entangled in the paw of selfishness. Now they are looking also towards
them for getting worldly benefits being helpless, from whom they were warned to
be careful.
