Duty of the
Muslims
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.)

In
the previous verses, after causing to know many commandments, Allah Almighty
addresses to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), “It
doesn’t matter if either the people believe or otherwise. You should not be
grief due to their wickedness. Certainly the Holy Qur’aan is a collection of good advices for the mankind. If the
people do not believe in it, then it is their stupidity and foolishness”.
If
the giver is sure that he has a thing which is advantageous and profitable for
all, but the person, who has to take it, refuses from taking it, then nothing
can be seen in him but his folly. These people have made up their mind that
they would take only that thing, which is useful; particularly for them only.
What can be more stupidity of a mankind than it? Surely they, who know, will
like that thing, which is useful equally for all, and will desire only the
quantity of profit, which is equal to others.
That
person, who wants that he should receive everything and leave other entire
persons longing, is an animal like dogs and beasts of prey. And the person, who
wishes that he and his friend should take only, but remaining all people should
remain entreating, is like a crow, but he is also mere an animal. It is
suitable for the human being that he should take to the extent of his need
only, after providing with the necessities of every person. Advantage of
everyone is in it only and the dependence of the morality is also only upon it.
It is the fundamental stone of that Revelation, which was revealed upon the
Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). It is
compulsory to communicate this Message to the entire human beings, whether they
understand it or not. So it has been admonished strictly in this verse.
Allah
Almighty commands, “O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him)! Make known (the people, entire) that, which has been revealed unto You
from Your Lord” (verbally as well as acting upon it too), because these are the
actual meanings of conveying the Message. Otherwise, saying by tongue only, but
acting not upon it by oneself, does not have any sense. If You did not convey
this Message properly, this responsibility will remain on Your charge and it
will be said, “You did not render the due of this Message”. However, those
people, who do not listen to You and oppose, You should not have any concern
with them. They can never harm You, but will harm themselves. Allah Almighty
will protect you from them and preserve you from their wickedness.
You
should not be efficacious from it that neither they listen to you, and nor obey
you. It is luck of everyone. Some are fortunate, while the others have bad
luck. The Belief, which is like the Wealth, is not in their fate, because it
has been known due to their disobedience of Allah’s Word that they have adopted
the path of infidelity and they like to remain Infidels. It is the Divine’s Law
that the ways of guidance have been closed for them, who desire to remain
Infidels.
A
clear commandment comes out from this lesson for the Muslims that they should
produce themselves by making themselves a pattern of Islam, then invite the
people for it. If they will not do so, they will be guilty of two crimes. At
first, that they did not act upon it themselves and secondly, they did not
fulfill their duty to carry the Message of Islam to non-believers.
