Commentary
Ta-hassa-suu – (Ascertain, seek, search for), it is a word
of command from the word tahassasun, which has been derived
from hasasa. It means “to seek, to use all own five senses i.e.
seeing, hearing, smelling etc.” tahassas means “to try and
toil in ascertaining and seeking”.
Rawhun – (Mercy), actually it means “the cool
breeze” by which one feels pleasure. Raw-Hillaahi means “the
Mercy of Allah”.
Laa
tay-‘asuu and laa
yay-‘asuu, both words have come out from the same origin i.e. yaas. Yaas means
hopelessness. Laa tay-‘asuu is command of prohibition,
that is to say, “you should not despair, be not hopeless”. Laa
yay-‘asu means “they cannot despair”. Maayuus is a
famous word, origin of which is the same and it means “hopeless, desperate,
disappointed etc.”
Prophet Jacob (peace
be upon him) teaches to his sons that “I do not expose my distress and anguish
unto any human being or imaginary helper – living or dead, save Allah Almighty.
Even then, one should try one’s best, whatsoever one can do. Being hopeless and
doing nothing; is not “Trust in God”.
Trust in God means
that one should struggle his best
Then result of that
struggle should be left on Destiny.
(Tawakul ka yeh
matlab hae keh khanjar tez rakh apna
Phir os khanjar kii
tezii ko muqaddar kay hawalay kar).
Therefore, you should
go back and search Joseph as much as you can. Make any plan for freedom of your
brother Binyamin; which you may. None should despair from the Mercy
of Allah Almighty in any condition. Only those people can be hopeless who do
not believe in Allah Almighty. Believers see unto the Mercy and Omnipotence of
Allah Almighty always.
It is the lesson from
Prophet Jacob (peace be upon him) which He taught to the Believers of Allah
Almighty, and the Holy Qur’an saved it for always.
