Chapter “HASHR” - (EXILE) - 59

This Chapter explains that you must establish a society:

1.   This society must have such collective power, before which the wrongdoers should become helpless. No one should commit any such work which creates a disturbance and the people begin to quarrel with one another. If such society is established, its terror and fear will be so much that foreigners will be overawed by it and the enemies will lose all their wits, as the tribe of the Jews Banu Nazayer, who had a large group and were rich. But when the Muslims (who were very weak before them in all respects) came and assaulted collectively upon their forts, then they had no way to escape but to run away, because the Muslims had so much power of unity, before which they could not stay.

2.   Foundation of Muslims’ mutual relationship must be on sincerity and sympathy. They should never be hypocrites and disunited. Everyone should like for others which he likes for himself. No one should consider that he is superior to others. All people should support one another in all good matters.

3.   Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is Leader and Ruler of the Muslims. Every Muslim should get ready every time to abide by his Command and should never choose such a way which is forbidden. After him, it is first duty of the Muslims that they should appoint a Chieftain for themselves who follows the traditions of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Every member of the society must obey him and get ready every time for others’ welfare. That Chieftain should try to correct the circumstances of the entire Muslim Ummah by consulting wise people. He should appoint the skilled people at suitable places, and what is earned by the workers, he should make arrangement for their comfortable life. He should lessen own requirements and live along with all as they live.

4.   Works of the people will be correct then when they will have belief in Allaah Almighty, obey His Commandments and adopt the way explained by the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

5.   Believe in the Day of Resurrection without which works of mankind cannot be correct. Understand it well! After death in the next life, good reward will be given to good people but the wrongdoers will be punished.

6.   The mankind can never get actual success without three things – Belief in Allaah Almighty, acting upon the traditions of His Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and having belief in the Day of Resurrection. Apparent pomp and show are only temporary things. A day will come when all of us will die and then we will have to be present before our Creator.

Chapter “HASHR” - (EXILE) - 59

This Chapter explains that the most important duty of the Muslims is to keep human society pure from all kinds of evils and wickedness. Admonish the mischievous people! If even then they do not refrain from depravity and break mutual agreements, then war is indispensable, even that the evil doers are suppressed. After having control over them, their wealth and property cannot be given in possession of rich people, but every needy person has a right in it. Therefore although its actual Owner is Allaah Almighty, but administratively it will be under the possession of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). He will help his close relatives, the orphans, the poor and the wayfarers from its income. It should not be that those take its possession also who already have wealth more than enough and it is distributed among themselves, and those remain empty-handed by whose efforts and labor it was acquired.

The Muslims can correct their financial system by following these instructions. First of all; their rulers must be honest and trustworthy. They should understand that they have to do the same for supporting the nation which the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) did. He never deposited money with himself. Whatever was received was shared with others, without saying that the poor were poor because Allaah desired to keep them in the same condition, so they must be patient on that which was given to them by anyone, and that Allaah gave wealth to the rich so he must enjoy.

This is not the way of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Therefore, it has no connection with Islam. Allaah Almighty made some people rich and some poor for examining the mankind, and everyone’s duty has been explained.

Now there is a need to observe that who accomplishes well his duty. It is responsibility of the nation that they should choose or accept for themselves such ruler, who must not only be to please the people by his conversation, but he should grip up his loins to fulfil requirements of every individual easily, and spend Country’s income on correcting the condition of common people. He himself should take from it only that which may fulfil easily his personal requirements.

 Present systems of Governments in the world claim that those are best, but major portion of Country’s income goes in the hands of such people who rule over the public, whereas most people of public are deprived of dire requirements of life. Potential rulers claim that they will do for public welfare, but when they become rulers then they like to fill up own pockets.

Attributes of God

 

Attributes of God (L-3232)

Chapter “HASHR” - (EXILE) – 59

هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱلسَّلَٰمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُ ٱلْمُهَيْمِنُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْجَبَّارُ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ 23  هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُ ٱلْبَارِئُ ٱلْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ 24

23.  HuwAllaahul-lazii  Laaa  ‘Ilaaha  ‘illaa Huu.  ‘Al-Malikul-Qud-duusus-Salaamul-Mu’-minul-Muhayminul-'Aziizul-Jabbaarul-Mutakabbir.  Sub-haanAllaahi  'Ammaa  yushri-kuun. 24.  HuwAllaahul-Khaaliqul-Baari-'ul-Musawwiru  laHul-‘Asmaaa-'ul-Husnaa.  Yusabbihu  laHuu  maa  fis-samaawaati  wal-‘arz.  Wa  Huwal-'Aziizul-Hakiim. (Section 3/6)

23. He is Allah, than Whom there is no other God, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him). 24. He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

It has been caused to understand in these verses: Assess the Greatness and the Magnificence of Allaah Almighty by keeping His Attributes in view. His Attributes are so many which can never be counted. But if you will meditate in those Attributes which are being described here, it will help you in imagining correctly concerning Allaah Almighty.

In the previous verse it was commanded: He is Allaah, other than Whom there is neither someone else Deity and nor any other can be God save Him. He has Knowledge of everything whether that is visible or invisible. He is the most Beneficent and the most Merciful.

In this verse, it is commanded: There is no worthy of worship but Allaah. He is the Sovereign, the Pure from every evil and fault, no affliction can touch Him, He is the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, and the Superior. Exalted is Allaah above whatever they associate with Him. He is Allaah, the Creator of everything, the Inventor, the Fashioner; and to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Well Aware of everything’s reality.

The effect of the Qur'an

 

The effect of the Qur'an (L-3231)

لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُۥ خَٰشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ ٱللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 21  هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 22

21.  Law  ‘anzalNaa  haazal-Qur-‘aana  'alaa  jabilil-lara  ‘aytahuu  khaashi-'am-muta-saddi-'am-min  khash-yaTillaah.  Wa  tilkal-‘amsaalu  nazribuhaa  linnaasi  la-'allahum  yatafak-karuun. 22.  HuwAllaahul-lazii  Laaa  ‘Ilaaha  ‘illaa  Huu.  'Aalimul-Gaybi  wash-shahaadah.  Huwar-Rahmaanur-Rahiim.

21. If We had caused this Qur'an to descend upon a mountain, you (O Muhammad) verily had seen it humbled, rent asunder by the fear of Allah. Such similitudes coin We for mankind that haply they may reflect. 22. He is Allah, than Whom there is no other God, the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible. He is the Beneficent, Merciful.

It is commanded: The things which are being described in Holy Qur’an, into them is hidden strongest effect of the Truth and the Divinity. If something is manifested upon a mountain from them, it is humbled, coming apart from fear of Allaah. The aim of revealing these verses is that the mankind must guess concerning the greatness and glory of Holy Qur'an, meditate in its revelations and try to understand, even that its impression should appear in his heart, so that he may reap advantage from its advices as much as he can, correct concept of Allaah Almighty should be established in his heart and he should become His obedient slave, because arrangement of this world and the Hereafter depends on such things.

After that there is description of Greatness and Glory of Allaah Almighty Who sent down this Qur’an. It is commanded: There is no Deity or God except Allaah Almighty, because no one else has such Attributes which He has. He is Knower of the Unseen and the Witnessed. He is the Entirely Beneficent and the Especially Merciful.

The behaviour of the Muslims

 

The behaviour of the Muslims (L-3230)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 18  وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ 19  لَا يَسْتَوِىٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ هُمُ ٱلْفَآئِزُونَ 20

18.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina  ‘aamanut-taqUllaaha  wal-tanzur nafsum-maa  qaddamat  ligad.  WattaqUllaah.  ‘InnAllaaha  Khabiirum- bimaa  ta'-maluun. 19.  Wa  laa  takuunuu  kallaziina  nasUllaaha  fa-‘ansaahum  ‘anfusahum.  ‘Ulaaa-'ika  humul-faasiquun. 20.  Laa  yastawiii  ‘As-haabun-Naari  wa  ‘As-haabul- Jannah.  ‘As-haabul-Jannati  humul-Faaa-'izuun.

18. O you who believe! Observe your duty to Allah. And let every soul look to that which it sends on before for the morrow. And observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what you do. 19. And be not you as those who forgot Allah, therefor He caused them to forget their souls. Such are the evil-doers. 20. Not equal are the owners of the Fire and the owners of the Garden. The owners of the Garden, they are the victorious.

Behaviour of the Jews and the Hypocrites has already been described. Their tricks will neither be useful in this world and nor will they find rest and peace after death in the Hereafter. In the world their consequence will be the same as the consequence of ancient disobedient people before them whose ruins they see around themselves. For the Day of Resurrection, they did nothing, so they will deserve nothing but torment of disbelief and disobedience.

After that, in these verses, it is being described to the Muslims that how should they live in this world, so that they may remain higher than the disbelievers here, as well as they must be informed about their peaceful life of the Day of Resurrection too. It is commanded: As you have believed in Allaah Almighty, you must fear Him and escape from the things which are forbidden by Him. Have faith that this world will be over, after it the Day of Judgement will come. Do such good works in the world which may be useful for you in the Hereafter. Fear Allaah. Indeed, He is Acquainted with what you do. O believers! Be not like those who forgot Allaah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient of Laws made by Him. Bear in mind! Not equal are the companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise. The companions of Paradise are the attainers of success.

The condition of the hypocrites (c)

 

The condition of the hypocrites (c) (L-3229)

تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّىٰ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ 14b  كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيبًا ذَاقُوا۟ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 15  كَمَثَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ ٱكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّنكَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 16  فَكَانَ عَٰقِبَتَهُمَآ أَنَّهُمَا فِى ٱلنَّارِ خَٰلِدَيْنِ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 17

14b.  Tahsa-buhum  jamii-'anw-wa  quluubuhum  shattaa.  Zaalika  bi-‘annahum  qawmul-laa  ya'-qiluun. 15.  Kamasa-lillaziina  min  qablihim  qariiban  zaaquu  wabaala  ‘amrihim.  Wa  lahum  'azaabun  ‘aliim. 16.  Kamasalish-Shay-taani  ‘iz  qaala  lil-‘insaanik-fur.  Falammaa  kafara  qaala  ‘innii  bariii-'um-minka  ‘inniii  ‘akhaafUllaaha  Rabbal-'Aalamiin. 17.  Fakaana  'aaqibata-humaaa  ‘annahumaa  fin-Naari  khaalidayni  fiihaa.  Wa  zaalika  jazaaa-'uz-zaalimiin. (Section 2/5)

14b.  You think of them as a whole whereas their hearts are divers. That is because they are a folk who have no sense. 15. On the likeness of those (who suffered) a short time before them, they taste the ill-effects of their own conduct, and theirs is painful punishment. 16. (And the hypocrites are) on the likeness of the devil when he tells man to disbelieve, then, when he disbelieves says: Lo! I am quit of you. Lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. 17. And the consequence for both will be that they are in the Fire, therein abiding. Such is the reward of evil-doers.

It is commanded: Apparently it seems that they are together, but in fact their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason. They consider that they will win by apparent alliance. Theirs is like the example of those shortly before them: idolaters of Makkah and the Jews of Banu Qaynqaa’ tasted the bad consequence of their affair. In the month of Ramadan 2nd AH, idolaters of Makkah were defeated in the Battle of Badr and during the same year in the month of Shawal the Jews of Banu Qaynqaa’ were expelled. And for all of them, a painful punishment is ready on the Doomsday. The hypocrites are like the example of Satan when he says to man, "Disbelieve in Allaah!" But when he disbelieves, Satan says, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. I fear Allaah, Lord of the worlds." These entire are his lies.  So the outcome for both of them is that they will be cast in the Fire, abiding eternally therein. And that is the recompense of the wrong-doers.
