Quran Chapter

We should
learn from the history of the Jews
Chapter ‘Al-‘A’raaf (The
Heights) – Surah – 7)
‘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)
It is the most objectionable
bestial nature of a mankind that he desires to keep other people pressed (under
his control). If accidentally, someone succeeds to obtain such means, then it
is not known, what he begins to consider himself. Not only this that he
considers slight to every other individual but he wishes to keep the people as
his obedient and slaves according to his will by abasing them.
The Prophets and Messengers (peace
be upon Them) are sent by Allah Almighty to admonish and cause to understand
him, Who desires to cause to know the secrets of ups and downs of the world.
They say that Allah Almighty has created the people different in strength and
weakness. He has not provided all facilities to everyone. He desires to examine
the people in every condition, for instance; how a powerful individual uses his
power and how he behaves with the feeble?
Respectable people do not obey the
Messengers (peace be upon Them) and they are ruined. But after them, the same
kind of proud people are born and then they begin to do the same again. The
biggest victim of human tyranny and injustice are probably the Children of
Israel. Pharaoh used to torture them of various sorts with the power of his
wealth and supporters. It was his boasting that “none is more powerful than me
who may resist”. It was his thinking: Nobody can look at me with anger, whether
I do - whatever I wish. Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) came to defeat this
rebellious and at last, He (peace be upon Him) defeated him.
Allah Almighty has revealed this
story in the Holy Qur’an for causing to understand the people
of every times, from which, the powerful people should know that their power
will not be useful always. Surely, a Day will come when their arrogance will be
broken. And the inferior people should keep satisfaction that if they were
patient and continued begging from Allah Almighty; certainly, they would get
deliverance from the claws of the tyrants. And such power will be given to them
after snatching from the powerful people, so that they might be examined also,
that how they use their power and strength? And whether they learn from
dreadful end of earlier people to them or otherwise?
This Surah was revealed
in Makkah. Condition of that place was the same as explained above.
The Infidels of Makkah had been tyrannizing the Believers of last
Messenger of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) and the People of Islam had been becoming victims of big torments.
The impressive Words of Holy Qur’an touched their hearts and
now they had full faith that a time will come when their tyrants will be
destroyed and their entire airs will be finished. And Allah Almighty will allow
us with His favor and Blessing to prevail over them and He will degrade them.
Saying of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) to the Children of Israel: Be patient. Allah Almighty will
destroy your enemies very soon and you have to sit in their place. Then He will
observe that what kind of people are you proven in your turn? It was a message
of pleasure for the Muslims of Makkah and as though, it was
preparing them in advance that Allah Almighty is going to test them by giving
them victory on the Infidels very soon. Therefore, they determined in their
hearts that they will use their force and power to help the weak and poor in
every matter, not to press them. History witnesses that the People of Islam
have shown their determination duly fulfilled. The weak and the feeble became
strong and powerful because of them. The tyrants suffered a defeat everywhere
before them. But alas! Among them too, such people began to be born, who used
force against others, forgetting the Command of Allah Almighty and were
punished.
