6)
‘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.)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
قُلْ أَىُّ شَىْءٍ أَكْبَرُشَهَٰدَةً قُلِ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌۢ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِۦ وَمَنۢ بَلَغَ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً أُخْرَىٰ قُل لَّآ أَشْهَدُ قُلْإِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ وَإِنَّنِى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ 19
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَعْرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَآءَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَايُؤْمِنُونَ 20
The
aim of the Revelation of Holy Qur’aan has been described very
clearly in the previous verses. It has been made incumbent upon the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and care of Him, upon the
entire Muslim nation, that they should keep this object in front and fulfill
it, as it appears from the meaning of above-mentioned verse.
It
has been mentioned in the previous verse: The Holy Qur’aan has
been inspired upon Muhammad, the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) that the people, who exist at the spot, should be warned by this source (Holy Qur’aan)
that there is a very severe danger in either opposing it or not drawing proper
attention towards it. And it is the duty of all Muslims to manifest this
subject (not only these people, who are present, but by means of them, also of
those human beings, whom this Holy Qur’aan reaches until the
Day of Resurrection.
It
is open that this Holy Word will reach up to more people even after the departure
of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). At that time,
the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) will not grace the world with
His presence. So this duty will rest upon His nation; that they should inform
the people about the threat of not acting upon the commands, mentioned in
Holy Qur’aan. And they should explain its meaning in such a manner
that nobody would have any objection that “we were not taught like this,
otherwise we would have thought on its commandments, and acted upon them”.
It
is known clearly from this verse that Muhammad is the last Prophet and
Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Holy Qur’aan is
the Last Scripture, which was revealed in the world. No inspiration will be
revealed upon anyone after it. It is why that it has been revealed: “Allah is Witness between me and
you. And this Qur’aan hath been inspired in me, that I may
warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach” (with effect from His time to
the Day of Resurrection): verse 19a. it is Your and Your nation’s duty after
You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) to teach all of them.
The
Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) performed His duty in such a
manner that He caused to hear the people by reciting the Holy Qur’aan and
guided: You should continue your effort also to deliver it up to other people
like Me. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was not satisfied
to cause to hear only but explained the meanings of Holy Qur’aan. And He
acted upon it with such a practice that He set the importance of its commands
in the hearts of the people properly.
There
are two parts of this Duty:
1.
Learning the words of
Holy Qur’aan own by heart and conveying them up to other
people, and as the Messenger of Allah Almighty
acted upon it and that, what He commanded to cause to know its meanings, which
are called Hadith (Sayings of the Messenger), keep it also
safe and cause to reach others.
2.
Informing the human
beings about its importance and necessity for the human life.
The Muslims performed first part of the duty to some
extent, but sorry to say! Duty of the second part could not be performed
properly as it needed. The value of any practical program, as it is Holy Qur’aan,
can remain established, when it will be respected personally and properly. To
advice others, but not to follow personally, makes the advice useless. With
which mouth I say that Islam has the best way of life, whereas I don’t act upon
it strictly myself? Verbally I praise it very much, but when the time for
action comes, I learn from others “how to dwell” and adopt their ways of
living. Observe nowadays, as much as fun and play, immodesty and obscenity,
wickedness and immorality, deceit and treachery is customary in others, that
is, but more than them is customary in the Muslims. But verbally they (the
Muslims) say: Fear Allah Almighty,
be pious and adopt abstinence. Is it not unforgivable crime and sin?
