Belief and Piety

 

Belief and Piety (L-3062)

إِنَّمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَإِن تُؤْمِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ يُؤْتِكُمْ أُجُورَكُمْ وَلَا يَسْـَٔلْكُمْ أَمْوَٰلَكُمْ 36  إِن يَسْـَٔلْكُمُوهَا فَيُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوا۟ وَيُخْرِجْ أَضْغَٰنَكُمْ 37

36.  ‘Innamal- hayaatud-dunyaa  la-'ibunw-wa  lahw.  Wa  ‘in- tu'-minuu  wa  tattaquu  yu'-tikum  ‘ujuurakum  wa  laa  yas-'alkum  ‘amwaalakum. 37.  ‘Iny-yas-'alkumuuhaa  fa- yuhfikum  tabkhaluu  wa  yukhrij  ‘azgaanakum.

36. The life of the world is but a sport and a pastime. And if you believe and ward off (evil). He will give you your wages, and will not ask of you your worldly wealth. 37. If He should ask it of you and importune you, you would hoard it, and He would bring to light your (secret) hates.

It was instructed to the Believers previously: Don’t show cowardice and weakness if you have to fight against persecutors, and don’t request them to make a truce being fearful. At last you will overcome. For this purpose, patience and stability are necessary.

In this verse, it has been commanded: This worldly life is nothing compared to the Hereafter but only amusement and diversion. Live here as Allaah Almighty has commanded. Actual thing is Belief and saving oneself from wrong deeds. Allaah Almighty will give you rewards of your belief and righteous deeds. He does not ask of you your properties. If He had commanded and pressed you to spend all such things in His Way which you possess, it would have been very troublesome for you; mostly you would have gotten ready on stinginess and begun to declare your open displeasure.

Therefore, Allaah Almighty bestowed you wealth and property; and left in your possession, so that being distressed due to burden of spending it; lest you are fed up from the Religion. From here it is understood that the mankind should not consider himself owner of wealth and property, and that it is earned by himself; and so begin to strut. He must consider that Allaah Almighty is the Owner of everything Who bestowed him wealth by His kindness. It is His Bounty that He did not ask of him his entire wealth to spend everything in the Way of Allaah Almighty.

Clear judgement

 

Clear judgement (L-3061)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ 34  فَلَا تَهِنُوا۟ وَتَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّلْمِ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَوْنَ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَٰلَكُمْ 35

34.  ‘Innal-laziina  kafaruu  wa  sadduu  'an- SabiiLillaahi   summa  maatuu  wa  hum  kuffaarun-  falany- yagfirAllaahu  lahum. 35.  Falaa  tahinuu  wa  tad-'uuu  ‘ilas-salmi  wa  ‘antumul-‘a'-lawna  Wallaahu  ma-'akum  wa  lany-yatirakum  ‘a'-maalakum.

34. Lo! Those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and then die disbelievers, Allah surely will not pardon them. 35. So do not falter and cry out for peace when you (will be) the uppermost, and Allah is with you, and He will not grudge (the reward of) your actions.

The mankind has so much power in the world that he can choose for himself the way which he likes and live as he desires, but for him there is only one such path which leads directly to his betterment in the both Worlds. Besides that Path, all other paths lead to destruction. Holy Qur’an has been sent for manifesting the same Straight Path and Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) explains “how to go right direction”. This Path is Islam, besides which all paths are of infidelity. Those will be punished severely on the Day of Resurrection; who disbelieve. However, if they prevent others from Islam by force, mostly they are punished even in this world too. The same has been explained in these verses

It is commanded: Those who disbelieved and then died while they were disbelievers - never will Allaah Almighty forgive them. If they prevent others also from embracing Islam, you must forbid them from doing so. If they get ready for fighting, straighten them bravely by smiting, and don’t request for making a truce; fearing them who are persecutors; until they refrain from violence; pursue the mischievous. At last you will overcome. Allaah Almighty is with you. If you will live in His obedience, He will never deprive you of the reward of your deeds. If you will keep your footing on Islam, mischievous people will stand in awe.

Who is loser?

 

Who is loser? (L-3060)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَشَآقُّوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَن يَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا وَسَيُحْبِطُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ 32  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَلَا تُبْطِلُوٓا۟ أَعْمَٰلَكُمْ 33

32.  ‘Innal-laziina  kafaruu  wa  sadduu  'an- SabiiLillaahi  wa  shaaaqqur-Rasuula  mim- ba'-di  maa  tabayyana  lahumul-Hudaa,  lany-yazur-Rullaaha  shay-'aa.  Wa  sayuh-bitu  ‘a'-maala-hum. 33.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina  ‘aa-manuu  ‘atii-'Ullaaha  wa  ‘atii-'ur-Rasuula  wa  laa  tubtiluuu  ‘a'-maalakum.

32. Lo! Those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance has been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless. 33. O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and render not your actions vain.

It is commanded: These revengeful people have been harming entirely themselves by opposing Our Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and preventing the people from choosing the Straight Path determined by Us. Allaah Almighty has fixed the Right Path of Islam for human beings. And it has been manifested upon them that really if there is any Way of Salvation for mankind, that is Islam.

Say to them: You can neither harm Allaah Almighty, nor can overpower His Religion and nor defeat His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). You will come to know very soon that what happens with your entire wicked deeds. Allaah Almighty will destroy your all mischievous deeds. Islam will get victory. Your entire efforts of preventing the people from Islam will be useless and you will be ruined. Islam will become famous.

After that it is commanded: O Believers! Obey the Commandments of Allaah Almighty and follow His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in every work. If you will do any good work for showing, becoming good among the people, pleasing yourselves or for any worldly benefit, that will be destroyed. Do all works as the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has instructed, otherwise those will not be useful for you. Attention! Don’t invalidate your deeds like this.

God’s Dignity of hiding sins

 

God’s Dignity of hiding sins (L-3059)

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَأَرَيْنَٰكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمْ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِى لَحْنِ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَعْمَٰلَكُمْ 30  وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَعْلَمَ ٱلْمُجَٰهِدِينَ مِنكُمْ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَنَبْلُوَا۟ أَخْبَارَكُمْ 31

30.  Wa  law Nashaaa-'u  la-‘aray-Naa-kahum  fala-'araftahum-  bi-siimaahum.  Wa  lata'-rifan-nahum  fii  lahnil- qawl.  Wallaahu  ya'-lamu  ‘a'-maalakum. 31.  Wa  lanabluwannakum  hattaa  na'-lamal-mujaahidiina  minkum  wassaabiriina  wa  nabluwa  ‘akhbaarakum.

30. And if We would, We could show them unto you (Muhammad) so that you should know them surely by their marks. And you shall know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knows your deeds. 31. And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and the steadfast, and till We test your record.

Allaah Almighty does not manifest sins and imperfections of anyone upon others, but at that time when there is any advisability, for example, for saving the righteous people from evils. Then He warns them according to necessity.

It was commanded previously: These hypocrites must not be haughty that they will be able to hide themselves always from their enmity with Muslims and by living among them; they will inform their enemies about their circumstances.

In this verse it is commanded: If We desire, We can betray their secrets and you know them as soon as you look at them, and their state become obvious upon all. Even then, you see their faces as such you know them easily that they are hypocrites. Moreover, it appears from their way of talking that they are not sincere, because sincere people can be known from their conversation easily. However Allaah Almighty wills to keep secrets of all in the world, otherwise He knows everyone’s every work and thought whether that is apparent or hidden.

After that it is commanded: The aim is not to blame someone in the world, but trial of every individual is required, that who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the cause of Allaah Almighty and who have patience in hardships and calamities. He wills to disclose correct circumstances of every individual and that must come in front what is hidden in one’s heart.

Consequence of hypocrites

 

Consequence of hypocrites (L-3058)

فَكَيْفَ إِذَا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَدْبَٰرَهُمْ 27  ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَآ أَسْخَطَ ٱللَّهَ وَكَرِهُوا۟ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ28  أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَن لَّن يُخْرِجَ ٱللَّهُ أَضْغَٰنَهُمْ 29

27.  Fakayfa  ‘izaa  tawaffat-humul- malaaa-'ikatu  yazri-buuna  wujuuhahum  wa ‘adbaarahum. 28.  Zaalika  bi-‘annahumut- taba-'uu  maaa  ‘askhatAllaaha  wa  karihuu  rizwaanahuu  fa-‘ahbata  ‘a'-maalahum. (Section 3/7) 29.  ‘Am  hasiballaziina  fii  quluu-bihim  marazun  ‘al-lany-yukhrijAllaahu  ‘azgaanahum.

27. Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs! 28. That will be because they followed that which angers Allah, and hated that which pleases Him. Therefor He has made their actions vain. 29. Or do those in whose hearts is a disease deem that Allah will not bring to light their (secret) hates?

It is commanded: These hypocrite people do not think that they have to die sooner or later. When Angels (peace be upon them) will come to drag their life from their bodies, strike their faces and backs, then how will it be with them? They should think a little. They will be tormented because they followed such matters which angered Allaah Almighty and ran away from those matters which pleased Him. So Allaah Almighty rendered worthless their entire deeds. Their good deeds will not be useful on the Day of Resurrection, until they believe in Allaah Almighty.

It is commanded: Hypocrites are deceivers. They must not consider that they will succeed in hiding their hearty enmity and malice with Muslims, and Allaah Almighty will not inform to the Muslims about their spite that they should escape from their evil.
