وَمَا كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُوا۟ كَآفَّةً فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَآئِفَةٌلِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا۟ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُوا۟ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ 122

122. And it is not possible that the Muslims should
march forth altogether. Why should not then small party from each tribe march
forth so that they (who are left behind) may gain sound knowledge in
religion, and that they may warn their folk when they return to them, so that
they may beware.

Commentary
Yanfiruu –
(march forth), origin of this word is nafarun, which means “to go
out by leaving a place, to move”. After it, the word nafara is
past tense from the same word. Here it aims “to get ready for public welfare
works”.
It is commanded that if entire
people come out for doing every work, then no work will be performed correctly
as well as other works will remain pending. So, for this purpose, the work
should be distributed mutually, and for every work, only those persons should
be selected separately, who are able to perform any particular work.
Therefore, it has been caused
to understand by an example that acquiring education is a national duty,
because if the people, who are aware of the law, will not exist to guide the
public, then law and order will be overthrown. Now, if all people begin to
acquire the knowledge of the law, then who will perform other works, which are
necessary for living, for example “agriculture, trade, industry, handicrafts
and other professions”?
So, it will be convenient if
those people; who are mentally fit for acquiring knowledge, they should begin
to exercise in the profession of Religious Law, and at the time of necessity,
they should teach the public “how to correct their character”. And whoso needs,
ask their advice.
By doing so, it can be hoped
that the people will continue in close contact with useful deeds by giving up
harmful works. In this verse, the way of distributing different works and
professions has been described very clearly. It is evident that capability of
every individual is not equal. Someone is physically more fit than others. He
is suitable for working hard i.e. cultivation and fight etc.
Someone is intelligent. He can perform in arts and sciences
according to his ability. However, if the entire nation has been surrounded by
the enemy from all around and the Government has proclaimed that everyone
should be ready for war, then every individual should give up all other works
and present himself for the safety of the nation. And which task is given to
him, should perform it properly.
