Praise of Allah (L-3258)

Chapter “JUMU-‘AH” - (The Congregation) - 62

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ 1  هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّۦنَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ 2  وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِمْ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ 3

1.  Yusabbihu  Lilaahi  maa  fis-samaawaati  wa  maa  fil-‘arzil-Malikil-Qudduusil-'Aziizil-Hakiim. 2.  Huwal-lazii  ba-'asa  fil-‘Ummiyyiina  Rasuulam-min- hum  yatluu  'alayhim  ‘AayaatiHii  wa  Yuzakkiihim  wa  yu-'allimuhu-mul-Kitaaba  wal-Hikmah-  wa  ‘in  kaanuu  min-  qablu  lafii  zalaalim-mubiin. 3.  Wa  ‘aakhariina  minhum  lammaa  yal-haquu  bihim.  Wa  Huwal-'Aziizul-Hakiim.

1. All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifies Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, the Mighty, the Wise. 2. He it is Who has sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom, though heretofore they were indeed in error manifest, 3. Along with others of them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

It is commanded: Everything, which is in the heavens and on the earth, has been manifesting by its tongue or by showing own condition that Exalted is Allaah, Who is the Sovereign, the Pure from any defect or fault, the Perfect in Might and the Single in Wisdom. It is He Who has sent among the unlettered people, who were entangled in open depravity, a Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) from themselves, who recites before them His verses, purifies them and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom. And the same Messenger has been appointed for the guidance of those who have not joined them so far, and for those who will come after them. The same is Allaah Who is the Mighty in Divine Power and the Unique in Wisdom.

It is known from these verses that Muhammad is the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for the entire human beings who were during his times or who will come after them.

Introduction of Chapter 62 (The Congregation)

 

Introduction of Chapter 62 (L-3257)

Chapter “JUMU-‘AH” - (The Congregation) - 62

This is sixty-second Chapter of Holy Qur’an according to order. It was sent down during the middle times of Second and Fourth year AH in Madinah. It contains two Sections. In this Chapter, it has been described to the entire mankind of the world: All that is in the heavens and the earth have limited power and cannot work beyond its limit. Everything feels its helplessness at any occasion. Only Allaah is Whose Divine Power is unlimited. His Command works on everything and every time. So everything is His obedient and in fact; He is The Sovereign and the Pure from every defect and fault.   He is the Mighty. No one can make the slightest noise before Him. His every work is full of wisdom and knowledge.

Behold! He arranged to make the mankind polite and civilised wonderfully. At first He appointed Muhammad, an illiterate (‘Ummii) Apostle from the illiterate people of Arab among them, who (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) recited the verses of the Book of Allaah before them; while he did not know reading or writing, made them polite and civilised, and taught them wisdom which was accepted by most intelligent people of the world. It was Grace of Allaah Almighty Who conferred a chance of His favors first of all to the people of Arab. And then by means of them, He arranged to convey the matters of wisdom to the entire people of the world, from which the people of every class and Country will reap advantage until the last Hour.

Then it is commanded: The Muslims should not be careless from the teachings of Holy Qur’an and Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They should not think about temporary worldly benefits, otherwise their similitude will be the same as of the Jews who have a lot of books but do not know that what is written into them; and who desire a luxurious life only of this world. They will be tormented very severely.

After that it is commanded: When the Call is made for the prayer (Azaan) on the day of the Congregation (Friday), the believers must make haste to offer prayer, listen to Speech of the Religious Guide and remember Allaah Almighty. At that time they should leave trading and amusements etc. and offer prayer attentively.

After offering prayer, they should disperse in the land for seeking the Bounty of Allaah Almighty without forgetting Him. They should never consider that due to being engaged in prayer; their earning will be less than normal. The provision is in the Hand of Allaah Almighty. He is Able to fulfil every requirement of every individual.

Chapter “SAFF” - (THE RANKS)

 

Message in Chapter “The Ranks” (L-3256)

 

Chapter “SAFF” - (THE RANKS) - 61

In this Chapter, it has been described to the Muslims: Many are such people who say by their mouths more than sufficient but do nothing. You must escape from such bad habit, say only that which you intend to do or can do if an opportunity is provided to you. For its explanation, the circumstances of the Jews have been narrated that they used to say very much verbally to Moses (peace be upon him) that they were ready every time to do great works, whenever they would be ordered by Moses (peace be upon him); they would get ready to sacrifice themselves, but when the time of work used to come; they used to deny in such a way that Moses (peace be upon him) used to feel very hurt.

Second example of their shirking was such behavior which they adopted with Jesus (peace be upon him). He explained before them: I am a Messenger of Allaah. He has sent me to you for your guidance. I confirm those Commandments which are mentioned in Torah that those are true and correct. Practically I abide by those principles which have been described in it. I inform you that the Last Messenger, named Ahmad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will come after me. You must obey his sayings.

They affirmed verbally that they would be supporters of the Last Messenger and would never be his disobedient. But when he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came and they knew clearly from his signs that really he was the Last Messenger; whose good tidings was given by Jesus (peace be upon him), then being under influence of their mean thoughts; they denied from his Messenger-hood and said: He is (God forbid) a wizard, and the messenger for whom it has been promised; will come now and will be from us.

The result of their wicked deeds was that their depravities were increased and they were included at the top in the list of wrongdoers. Alas! The Muslims forgot the lesson taught by this Chapter and became like those stray people, that is to say, boasting verbally and shirking their duties, whereas they have been informed very clearly: Believe in Allaah Almighty wholeheartedly, obey Muhammad, the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and fight in the Way of Allaah Almighty. If you will do so, you will have a comfortable life on the Day of Resurrection, as well as you will overcome all in the world too, as it is obvious from the circumstances of the supporters and believers of Jesus (peace be upon him). They obeyed Jesus (peace be upon him) and Allaah Almighty helped them, and the Jews who believed in him and followed him step by step, they also overcame upon them who disbelieved in Jesus (peace be upon him).

We must understand from it: The aim from fighting in the Way of Allaah Almighty is to fight such people who spread mischief in the world and molest others only due to difference of the religion.

Example of the helpers of Jesus

 

Example of the helpers of Jesus (L-3255)

وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا نَصْرٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 13  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوٓا۟ أَنصَارَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّۦنَ مَنْ أَنصَارِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ قَالَ ٱلْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ فَـَٔامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٌ فَأَيَّدْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ ظَٰهِرِينَ 14

13.  Wa  ‘ukhraa  tuhibbuuna-haa  Nasrum-minAllaahi  wa  fat-hun  qariib.  Wa  bashshiril-Mu’-miniin. 14.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  kuunuuu  ‘ansaarAllaahi  kamaa  qaala  'Iisabnu-Maryama  lil-Hawaariyyiina  man  ‘ansaariii  ‘ilAllaah.  Qaalal-Hawaariy-yuuna  nahnu  ‘ansaarUllaahi  fa-‘aamanat-taaa-'ifatum-mim-  Bannii  ‘Israaa-'iila  wa  kafarat-taaa-'ifah.  Fa-‘ayyadNal-laziina  ‘aamanuu   'alaa  'aduwwihim  fa-‘asbahuu  zaahiriin. (Section 2/10)

13. And (He will give you) another (blessing) which you love: help from Allah and present victory. Give good tidings (O Muhammad) to believers. 14. O you who believe! Be Allah's helpers, even as Jesus son of Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah? They said: We are Allah's helpers. And a party of the Children of Israel believed, while a party disbelieved. Then We strengthened those who believed against their foe, and they became the uppermost.

 ‘Al-Hawaariyyuuna – (open-hearted, sincere people), this word is plural of hawaariy-yun, which is used for the washer-man, because he makes the clothes clean. Those who accepted the invitation of Jesus (peace be upon him) first of all, they were washer-men.

It is commanded: Reward of putting belief in Allaah Almighty and doing good works; will be given very soon in the world, which you love; is that you will obtain victory very soon on your enemies by the help of Allaah Almighty.

After that it is commanded: O you, who have believed: Be the supporters of Allaah, as the companions of Jesus (peace be upon him) replied, and said unanimously, “You want supporters of Allaah who should help you. So we are supporters of Allaah." After that, some people from the Children of Israel believed and some disbelieved. We helped those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.

Guidance for the Believers

 

Guidance for the Believers (L-3254)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَٰرَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ 10  تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتُجَٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ 11  يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ وَمَسَٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ 12

10.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  hal  ‘adullukum  'alaa  tijaaratin  tunjiikum-min  'Azaabin  ‘aliim. 11.  Tu'-minuuna  Billaahi  wa  RasuuliHii  wa  tujaahiduuna  fii  SabiiLillaahi  bi-‘amwaalikum  wa  ‘anfusikum.  Zaalikum  khayrUllakum  ‘in-  kuntum  ta'-lamuun. 12.  Yagfir  lakum  zunuubakum  wa  yud-khilkum  Jannaatin-  tajrii  min  tahtihal- ‘anhaaru  wa  masaakina  tayyibatan m fii  Jannaati  'and.  Zaalikal-Fawzul-'Aziim.

10. O you who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save you from a painful doom? 11. You should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if you did but know. 12. He will forgive you your sins and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph.

After preventing the Muslims from wicked deeds and inducing them to be useful mankind, now scientific and practical program is being described.

It is commanded: When you have believed in Allaah Almighty, We shall guide you to a transaction, which will save you from a painful punishment. It is that; you must have full faith in Allaah Almighty and believe in His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and strive in the cause of Allaah with your lives and wealth. That is best for you, if you should know. He will forgive your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow, and there will be pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment.

It is the summary of the Religion Islam, which has been described in above mentioned two verses. Believe in Allaah and His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), follow the Commandments quoted in Holy Qur’an and proved by the traditions of the Messenger.
