Don't listen to everyone (L-3086)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِن جَآءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌۢ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓا۟ أَن تُصِيبُوا۟ قَوْمًۢا بِجَهَٰلَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَٰدِمِينَ 6  وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ 7a

6.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhallaziina  ‘aamanuuu  ‘in-  jaaa-'akum  faasqum-  binaba-‘in-   fatabayyanuuu  ‘an-  tusiibuu  qawmam-  bi-jahaa-latin-  fatusbihuu  'alaa  maa  fa-'altum  naadimiin. 7a.  Wa'-lamuuu  ‘anna  fiikum  RasuuLallaah.

6. O you who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings, verify it, lest you smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what you did. 7a. And know that the messenger of Allah is among you.

One more important matter has been described in this verse. It happened that the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) sent Walid bin Utbah to the people of the tribe Banii Mustalaq, who embraced Islam during near past, for knowing their circumstances and for collecting the poor-due from them. There was old enmity among the tribes of Walid bin Utbah and Banii Mustalaq before Islam. When Walid reached near them, many of the people of Banii Mustalaq advanced to receive him with gladness. Walid thought that they were coming with the intention to kill him. He ran back to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and said: The people of Banii Mustalaq have become renegades. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) got ready to punish them. Meanwhile, their some people came and requested: We came out for his reception, not with any bad intention. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) sent Khalid bin Walid (May Allaah be pleased with him) secretly for investigation. He said when he returned: Those people are firm on Islam. I have received the poor-due from them.

After that this verse was revealed. It is commanded: O Believers! Don’t trust in everyone’s talk. Inquire at first before putting your trust if someone reports, who himself is careless from Islamic Law, lest you attack upon any folk in haste; having faith in one’s report, and it comes in your knowledge afterwards that you have done wrong, and then you have to regret.

By advising this, Holy Qur’an finished many mutual disputes, because base of the most of them is usually on false rumors. It is commanded: You must bear in mind that among you is the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

Etiquettes of meeting (L-3085)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَٰتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱمْتَحَنَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ 3  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَكَ مِن وَرَآءِ ٱلْحُجُرَٰتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ 4  وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 5

3.  ‘Innallaziina  yaguzzuuna  ‘aswaatahum  'inda  RasuuLillaahi  ‘ulaaa-'ikal-laziinam-tahanAllaahu  quluubahum  littaqwaa.  Lahum-Magfiratunw-wa  ‘Ajrun  'aziim. 4.  ‘Innallaziina  yunaaduunaka  minw-waraaa-'il-HUJURAATI  ‘aksaruhum  laa  ya'-qiluun. 5.  Wa  law  ‘annahum  sabaruu  hatta  takhruja  ‘ilayhim  lakaana  khayrallahum. Wallaahu  Gafuurur-Rahiim.

3. Lo! They who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah has proven unto righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward. 4. Lo! Those who call you from behind the private apartments, most of them have no sense. 5. And if they had patience till you came forth unto them, it had been better for them. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

'Al-HUJURAATI – (the chambers, the private apartments),

It is commanded: Those who lower their voices respectfully before the Messenger of Allaah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) - they are the ones whose hearts Allaah Almighty has tested for righteousness. Their sins and errors will be forgiven. For them is a great reward. The people used to come from outside the Township and often shout (from behind the chamber): O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)! Come out! We have come to see you (during his presence in his chamber)! 

Concerning them it is commanded: Most of them do not know Etiquette of meeting. Say to them: Give up your rudeness and when you come for meeting with the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), you must have patience until he comes out to you, speak with one another politely and with low voice. It would be better for you. Calling loudly to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) from outside of the chamber is incivility. However if you committed as it unknowingly, Allaah Almighty is Forgiving and Merciful. But in future you must be careful and do as directed.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 1  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا۟ لَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَٰلُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ 2

1. O you who believe! Be not froward in the presence of Allah and His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower. 2. O you who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as you shout one to another, lest your works be rendered vain while you perceive not.

After the Victory of Makkah, the tribes of Arab began to come in the service of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) during ninth year of Hijrah and embrace Islam. This Chapter was revealed during those days, which taught; them and common Muslims; etiquettes and ways of being present before the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and meeting with him, and described how to behave with one another mutually.

Accordingly, first of all, it is being commanded to the Muslims: Don’t give your opinion before Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him); particularly when any dispute is produced before the Messenger for judgment. Fear the wrath of Allaah Almighty considering that - He hears your all conversations, is the Knower and the Seer of your entire circumstances. Your affairs cannot be correct until you fear Him. Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest his voice may not be heard. Be very careful lest your deeds become worthless and you lose your good deeds, while you perceive not.

Important hints in Chapter “PRIVATE APARTMENTS”

 

Important hints in Chapter “PRIVATE APARTMENTS” (L-3083)

This is forty-ninth Chapter of Holy Qur’an, which was revealed during the ninth year of Hijrah in Madinah. There are two Sections of this Chapter. During that year, many tribes of Arab attended the service of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in troops and announced his obedience and submission.  They and all other Muslims have been taught etiquettes and rules of interaction in this chapter. This chapter is foundation stone of Islamic society and cradle of human civilisation.

 It is commanded: You must admit that the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is your leader; give him full respect. Whatever he says to do, that is the Command of Allaah Almighty. Your own opinion is valueless before him. Listen to that carefully whatever he says, and act upon it sincerely. Don’t speak loudly in front of him. Don’t call him to come out, if he is inside the home. Wait with patience. When he comes out himself, meet him with respect, keep interaction with one another mutually even that your collective power becomes so strong that all the wicked remain suppressed. Don’t agree to everyone’s saying without investigation, so that you may be saved from useless confusions. Belief is a great blessing, value it, avoid sins and remember that believers are brothers of one another mutually. No one must oppress any other. Press them who grip up their loins for oppressing, and if they don’t agree; beat them until they become straight. Behold! Mutual disputes can arise from little affairs, for example; teasing someone, giving him bad names which he doesn’t like, or disclosing someone’s faults with gestures, backbiting, distrusting by someone, and determining someone as a bad person without any reason, finding faults of someone for molesting; then trying to know, so that he may come under your control. All such matters are bad. Escape from them and remember that all people are equal. Don’t try to bully any other.

Caste, lineage and tribe are just for identifying each other; not for showing personal predominance. All are equal slaves of Allaah Almighty. To Him, only that person would hold highest rank who would be more afraid of Him, and due to His fear He will avoid all the sins and evil deeds. Allaah Almighty has been watching your entire deeds and knows very well what is in your hearts. The one, who admitted Kalimah (There is none worthy of worship but God, Muhammad is Messenger of God), is a Muslim. Now they should follow the prescribed way of Islam, do righteous deeds and escape from evil deeds, so that, the Light of Belief is born in their hearts. By embracing Islam, don’t show your impression over others. Consider that Islam is a blessing of Allaah. This is source of gaining Belief, upon which the salvation of mankind depends.

Review of Chapter “The Victory”

 

Review of Chapter “The Victory” (L-3082)

This Chapter describes particularly that being slaves of Allaah Almighty; all human beings are equal. The difference; which is in their grades, is determined by Allaah Almighty, base of which is on His worship, fear and begging pardon from Him. The differences of dignities which we observe in our practical life in the world are self-made, quite temporary and baseless. From which matters, the degrees become higher in the Court of Allaah Almighty, are entirely separate from worldly artificial things i.e. difference of castes, wealth and property, power and physical strength etc. In such matters, Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) lead all mankind. After them are their believers step by step who follow them wholeheartedly in spending their wealth and lives in the Way of Allaah Almighty and trying to do righteous works according to their instructions. The last of the prophets is Muhammad (peace be upon them). He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) among them is on the top in devotion of Allaah Almighty. In this chapter, he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been congratulated on the works done by him for them and has been promised that his begging for forgiveness was accepted. Allaah Almighty forgave his all sins which can be called the sins according to his status, and will bestow to him with His blessings absolutely, and will guide him towards the straight path, and will completely help him in fighting enemies.

In this chapter, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is praised along with his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) who gave up their desires, obeyed him in every matter and got ready to sacrifice their lives for complying with the Command of Allaah Almighty. Concerning them, it is commanded: It was your work what you have done. Now believe in Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Respect and help the Messenger, and remember Allaah Almighty as much time as you can. For you, Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah will be a forerunner of many excellences, and you will conquer the Khyber very soon, and after that; you will get great victories.

In this chapter, habits and deeds of the companions (May Allaah be pleased with them) of Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) have been praised and determined them a pattern for remaining Muslims till the end of this world. Muslims should follow their footsteps and adopt the same habits and deeds which they did, that is to say, believe in Allaah Almighty, admit that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allaah, get together against riots, the divisive, rebels and arrogant people in the world. Be strict with them until they start living with peace. Believers must live together with love and sincerity mutually. Its result will be that you will prosper as Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), his companions (May Allaah be pleased with them) and His followers prospered.

The state of the Companions (L-3081)

سِيمَاهُمْ فِى وُجُوهِهِم مِّنْ أَثَرِ ٱلسُّجُودِ ذَٰلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَمَثَلُهُمْ فِى ٱلْإِنجِيلِ كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْـَٔهُۥ فَـَٔازَرَهُۥ فَٱسْتَغْلَظَ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَىٰ سُوقِهِۦ يُعْجِبُ ٱلزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِنْهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًۢا 29b

29b.  Siimaahum  fii  wujuuhihim-min  ‘asaris-sujuud.  Zaalika  masaluhum  fit-Tawraati  wa  masaluhum  fil- ‘Injiil.  Kazar-'in  ‘akhraja  shat- 'ahuu  fa- 'aazara-huu  fastaglaza  fastawaa  'alaa  suuqihii  yu'-jibuz-zurraa-'a  liyagiiza  bihimul- kuffaar.  Wa-'adAllaahul-laziina  ‘aamanuu  wa  'amilus-saalihaati  minhum-Magfiratanw-wa  Ajjran  'aziimaa.   (Section 4/12)

29b.  The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel - like as sown corn that sends forth its shoot and strengthens it and rises firm upon its stalk, delighting the sowers - that He may enrage the disbelievers with (the sight of) them. Allah has promised, unto such of them as believe and do good works, forgiveness and immense reward.

It is commanded: The countenances of those people have become bright due to traces of prostrations in the Prayers who are with the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon them). It is the reason that they (the believers) can be known clearly from afar. Their such likeness has been described in Torah and Gospel. And their description is as a tillage (crop) that at first; after sowing the seed; stalk bursts, then it grows and becomes strong, even the entire crop becomes green, delighting the sower - so it enrages the enemies.

After that, it is commanded: These people who believe in Allaah Almighty and do righteous works, He has promised that their entire errors and omissions, sins and wrong deeds will be forgiven and for them is a great reward.

Islam and the Muslims

 

Islam and the Muslims (L-3080)

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًا 28  مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥٓ أَشِدَّآءُ عَلَى ٱلْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَآءُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَرَىٰهُمْ رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنًا29a

28.  Huwal-laziii  ‘arsala  RasuulaHuu  bil-Hudaa  wa  diinil-Haqqi  liyuz-hiraHuu  'alad-diini  kullih.  wa  kafaa  Billaahi  Shahiidaa. 29a.  Muhammadur-RasuuLullaah.  Wallaziina  ma-'ahuuu  ‘ashid-daaa-'u  'alal-kuffaaari  ruhamaaa-'u  baynahum  taraahum  rukka-'an  sujjadany-yabtaguuna  Fazlam- minAllaahi  wa  rizwaanaa.

28. He it is Who has sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion. And Allah suffices as a Witness. 29a. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. You (O Muhammad) see them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance.

It was commanded: Allaah Almighty showed a true dream to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) which surely will come true. Due to many advisabilities, which you don’t know but Allaah knows, the dream did not come true this year, and you could not perform Umrah. But you will perform Umrah very soon safe and sound in good manner. And before it, you will conquer Khyber. Don’t think that Allaah Almighty will not help His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

In this verse, it is commanded: Allaah Almighty has appointed Muhammad as His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for guidance of the mankind towards the Straight Path, gave him a true Religion, which will be prevailed also by Him upon all other religions. No other religion will be better in the world than it, because He Himself is A Witness of its truth and there is no other evidence better than His evidence.

Listen!   Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allaah; and his companions (May Allaah be pleased with them) who believe in him, are hard and forceful against the disbelievers; who oppose and molest the Muslims. But they are merciful among themselves, bow and prostrate in prayer before Allaah Almighty, seek bounty from Him and do good works for His pleasure. No one in the world has such companions.
