The condition of the hypocrites (b) (L-3228)

وَلَئِن قُوتِلُوا۟ لَا يَنصُرُونَهُمْ وَلَئِن نَّصَرُوهُمْ لَيُوَلُّنَّ ٱلْأَدْبَٰرَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ 12b  لَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ 13  لَا يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِى قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَآءِ جُدُرٍۭ بَأْسُهُم بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ 14a

12b.  Wa  la-'in  quutiluu  laa  yansu-ruuna-hum  wa la-'in  nasaruu-hum  la-yuwal-lunnal-‘adbaar.  Summa  laa  yunsaruun. 13.  La-‘antum  ‘ashaddu  rahbatan  fii  suduurihim-minAllaah.  Zaalika  bi-‘annahum  qawmul-laa  yaf-qahuun. 14a.  Laa  yuqaati-luunakum  jamii-'an  ‘illaa  fii  quram-muhas-sanatin  ‘aw  minw-waraaa-'i  judur. Ba’-suhum  baynahum  shadiid.

12b.  and indeed if they are attacked they help them not, and indeed if they had helped them they would have turned and fled, and then they would not have been victorious. 13. You are more awful as a fear in their bosoms than Allah. That is because they are a folk who understand not. 14a. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified villages or from behind walls. Their adversity among themselves is very great.

It is being commanded concerning the hypocrites: They are liars and deceivers of first class, who promised verbally with the Jews that “if you are expelled from the Country, we will surely go out with you”. But they do never intend to go out along with them and nor shall they ever accompany them. If the Muslims fought the Jews, they would never support the Jews. However if they supported them in war, they would run away from the battle field showing their backs at the time of fight. They themselves will not find help from anywhere. Believers are more fearful within their breasts than Allaah because they are a people who do not understand and cannot guess His Divine Power, otherwise they would not have chosen disbelief and ostentation. Not only they, but no one from the disbelievers can stand before the Muslims in face to face war. However, in populations, hiding themselves in the fortresses or from behind the walls; they can attack suddenly. But their violence among themselves is severe whereas they fear from fighting against the Muslims.

The condition of the hypocrites (a)

 

The condition of the hypocrites (a) (L-3227)

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلَا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَدًا أَبَدًا وَإِن قُوتِلْتُمْ لَنَنصُرَنَّكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ 11  لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا۟ لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ 12a

11.  ‘A-lam  tara  ‘ilallaziina  naafaquu  yaquuluuna  li-‘ikhwaani-himullaziina  kafaruu  min  ‘Ahlil-Kitaabi  la-'in  ‘ukhrij-tum  lanakh-rujanna  ma-'akum  wa  laa  nutii-'u  fiikum  ‘ahadan  ‘abadanw-wa  ‘in-  quutiltum  lanan-suran-nakum.  Wallaahu  yash-hadu  ‘innahum  la-kaazibuun.   12a.  La-'in  ‘ukhrijuu  laa  yakhrujuuna  ma-'ahum.

11. Have you not observed those who are hypocrites, (how) they tell their brethren who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture: If you are driven out, we surely will go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you, and if you are attacked we verily will help you. And Allah bears witness that they verily are liars. 12a. (For) indeed if they are driven out they go not out with them,

There is mention of hypocrites in these verses. Before arrival of the Muslims, there was a class of such people in Madinah who were desirous to become masters of all. Their Chieftain was AbdUllah bin Ubii. He was trying to become ruler of Madinah. When Islam spread in Madinah and the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) reached there himself; along with his special people due to troubling by the idolaters of Makkah, then AbdUllah bin Ubii and his followers kept losing consciousness. They considered that open enmity against the Muslims would not be suitable, and thought that Islam is a game only for a few days, so they should not oppose it. Accordingly, apparently they embraced Islam, but secretly they began to conspire along with the enemies of Islam and uproot the Muslims. But that cannot be harmed by anyone whose Protector is Allaah.

In these verses, circumstances of the hypocrites have been described. It is fact that they were disclosed by Revelation; otherwise they would have been hidden foes. It is commanded: These hypocrites made secret treaty with the Jews of Banu Nazayr who were open enemies of Muslims and friends of the idolaters of Makkah. The treaty was, “If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and if you are fought, we will surely aid you against Muslims.

It is commanded: Allaah testifies that they are liars. If the Jews are expelled, they will not leave with them.

Distribution of wealth

 

Distribution of wealth (L-3226)

Those who follow the European people in earning wealth and its distribution, like their Economics and to earn by working hard, they must look within themselves and think for awhile that what the Holy Qur’an has been describing in this matter and what did the old Muslims do concerning it? They will come to know that true sympathizer and supporter of the mankind is this Holy Qur’an, and its reformed religion is Islam. Without it all other religions have been amended and do not exist in their actual form.

Islam says: Your entire physical and mental powers are given by Allaah Almighty. Use them for fulfilling your requirements according to prescribed religious Laws. All such Laws have been mentioned in Holy Qur’an. For their explanation, Allaah Almighty appointed Muhammad as His Messenger and Viceroy (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). After him, this responsibility has been given to his followers (Muslims). They should keep it up and establish a pattern of Islamic life.

Islam teaches: The things, which every mankind needs for living comfortably in the world, should not be collected with a person or group in such a way that remaining people are deprived of them. Any individual or some persons cannot be allowed that they snatch such necessary things from others, take their possession and say: I have earned this wealth by sense and management. So I have power either to spend it as I will or keep it with me without spending.

Apparently the wealth is attained by labor of one person, but in fact it is attained by collective labor. Therefore, every individual must be paid remuneration so much of his labor that he may fulfill his lawful requirements. And remaining money should be deposited in the public treasury. The public treasury must be looked after by honest believers. Those are the deputies of the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in this regard. Such just people should come forward for making its arrangements. Bringing them forward is responsibility of the entire nation. Every individual must not come forward himself for taking over the control of the Country and ruling over others, but he should go forward to whom people choose and consider fit for any particular appointment.

Islam has urged the Muslims to gather at one place by means of Masaajid (Mosques) at prescribed times. Therefore, every individual can be well aware of everyone’s circumstances. And it is easy to choose a best person when it is required. Those who are chosen by the people, but they themselves do not desire to become superior to others, because self praise is no recommendation, it is their duty that they should make arrangement of distributing the wealth; earned by the Muslims. And they should not leave sobbing any needy.

The virtues of Helpers (L-3225)

وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ 9b  وَٱلَّذِينَ جَآءُو مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَٰنِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِٱلْإِيمَٰنِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِى قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ 10

9b.  wa  yu'-siruuna  'alaaa  ‘anfu-sihim  wa  law  kaana  bihim  khasaasah.  Wa  many-yuuqa  shuh-ha  nafsihii  fa-‘ulaaa-'ika  humul-Muflihuun. 10.  Wallaziina  jaaa-'uu  mim-ba'-dihim  yaquuluuna  Rabbanag-fir-lanaa  wa  li-‘ikhwaani-nallaziina  sabaquunaa  bil-‘Iimaani  wa  laa  taj-'al  fii  quluubinaa  gillallillaziina  ‘aamanuu  Rabbannaaa  ‘innaka  Ra-‘uufur-Rahiim. (Part One-Fourth) (Section 1/4)

9b.  but prefer (the fugitives) above themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is saved from his own avarice - such are they who are successful. 10. And those who came (into the faith) after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith, and place not in our hearts any rancour toward those who believe. Our Lord! You are Full of Pity, Merciful.

It is commanded: Ansaar (dwellers of Madinah) love the Refugees more than themselves and provide food to them even though they are in privation. They give preference to the requirements of the Refugees over themselves. It is commanded: Whoever is protected from personal desires and the stinginess of his soul, and who can control themselves, it is those who will be the successful. Greedy people do not like to let others prosper.

After that it is commanded: This wealth of the enemy which is acquired with collective efforts or gotten freely; is a right of those necessitous until the Hour who came after the above mentioned people and followed them step by step; and remembered them also at the time of supplicating for own forgiveness and said: Our Lord! Forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith. O Lord! Put not in our hearts any resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord! To err is human but You are Kind and Merciful. Forgive all of them and us.

Deserving of the country's income

 

Deserving of the country's income (L-3224)

لِلْفُقَرَآءِ ٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمْ وَأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنًا وَيَنصُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصَّٰدِقُونَ 8  وَٱلَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُو ٱلدَّارَ وَٱلْإِيمَٰنَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ فِى صُدُورِهِمْ حَاجَةً مِّمَّآ أُوتُوا۟ 9a

8.  Lil-fuqaraaa-'il-Muhaaji-riinal-laziina  ‘ukhrijuu  min- diyaarihim  wa  ‘amwaali-him  yabta-guuna  Fazlam-minAllaahi  wa  Rizwaananw-wa  yansuruu-nAllaaha  wa  Rasuulah.  ‘Ulaaa-'ika  humus-Saadiquun. 9a.  Wallaziina  tabawwa-'ud-daara  wal-‘iimaana  min- qablihim  yuhibbuuna  man  haajara  ‘ilay-him  wa  laa  yajiduuna  fii  suduuri-him  haaja-tam-mimmaaa  ‘uutuu

8. And (it is) for the poor fugitives who have been driven out from their homes and their belongings, who seek bounty from Allah and help Allah and His messenger. They are the loyal. 9a. Those who entered the city and the faith before them love those who flee unto them for refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which has been given them,

It is commanded: Rich people do not have any right in this wealth and property which is attained from the enemies in any way (either by fighting or without fighting i.e. other means). It is for such people, who are poor, and there is also a share for the emigrants who were expelled from their homes and their properties, who sought Bounty from Allaah Almighty and His approval; and supported Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They are Refugees. There is no doubt in their sincerity and truthfulness. And it is also for those who were settled already in Madinah and adopted the Faith before arrival of the Refugees. They are dwellers of Madinah from the beginning who love those who emigrated to them. They do not find any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given.
