Etiquette of the meeting (a)

 

Etiquette of the meeting (a) (L-3210)

إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ لِيَحْزُنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَيْسَ بِضَآرِّهِمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ 10  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا۟ فِى ٱلْمَجَٰلِسِ فَٱفْسَحُوا۟ يَفْسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ 11a

10.  ‘Innaman-najwaa  minash-Shaytaani  liyahzu-nallaziina  ‘aamanuu  wa  laysa  bizaaarrihim  shay-'an  ‘illaa  bi-‘izNillaah.  Wa  'alAllaahi  fal-yatawakkalil-Mu'-minuun. 11a.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhallaziina  ‘aamanuu  ‘izaa  qiila  lakum  tafassahuu  fil-majaalisi  fafsahuu  yafsaHillaahu  lakum.

10. Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let believers put their trust. 11a. O you who believe! when it is said unto you, Make room! in assemblies, then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter).

It has been described clearly in this verse that two or more people should avoid private conversation mutually themselves in the assembly, so that others may not think that “something is being hidden from us”. If you have to discuss any necessary affair, you must do after coming out from the gathering, so that others may not have any chance of misunderstanding.

It is commanded: Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed. It is the act of hypocrites, but they cannot at all harm the Muslims by their such works, because profit and loss is in the Hand of Allaah Almighty. The believers must rely only upon Allaah Almighty. None other can harm or benefit.

After that, the Muslims are being taught: When another person comes and you are told, "Space yourselves for making place to adjust the new comer" in assemblies; or he himself requests, then you must make space. Allaah Almighty will make space for you as reward of your harmony.

Advice for the Muslims

Advice for the Muslims (L-3209)

وَيَقُولُونَ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا ٱللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ 8b  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا تَنَٰجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَٰجَوْا۟ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَتَنَٰجَوْا۟ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ 9

8b.  wa  yaquuluuna  fiii  ‘anfu-sihim  law-laa  yu-'azzibu-nAllaahu  bimaa  naquul.  Hasbuhum  Jahannnam.  Yaslawnahaa  fabi'-sal-masiir. 9.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-laziina  ‘aamanuuu  ‘izaa  tanaa-jaytum  falaa  tatanaajaw  bil-‘ismi  wal-'udwaani  wa  ma'-siyatir-Rasuuli  wa  tanaajaw  bil-birri  wat-taq-waa.  WattaQullaahal-laziii  ‘ilayhi  tuhsharuun.

8b.  and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say ? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end! 9. O you who believe! When you conspire together, conspire not together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger, but conspire together for righteousness and piety, and keep your duty toward Allah, unto whom you will be gathered.

Arrogance of the hypocrites had increased so much that when they used to come to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), they used to greet him in a bad way (“’As-Saamu ‘alaykum” instead of “’As-Salaamu ‘alaykum”) and then say in their hearts: If he is Messenger of Allaah, Allaah must punish us on our arrogance. Why does He not punish us for what we say?  

It is commanded: They will be punished one time, which is that they will be thrown into the Hell for burning on the Day of Resurrection forever. That is a wretched destination.

After that, the Muslims are being instructed: When you converse privately, do not converse about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) like hypocrites, but converse about righteousness and piety. Behold! Fear Allaah Almighty every time and bear in mind that one Day; all of you will be gathered in the Court of Allaah Almighty, Who knows entire apparent and secret matters.

I say with regret that nowadays some people visit the religious gatherings for jesting, criticising and vexing the preachers.

Everything will be clear in the Hereafter

Everything will be clear in the Hereafter (L-3208)

ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ 7b  أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ نُهُوا۟ عَنِ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَيَتَنَٰجَوْنَ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ ٱللَّهُ 8a

7b.  Summa  yunabbi-'uhum bimaa  'amiluu  Yawmal-Qiyaamah.  ‘InnAllaaha  bikulli  shay-'in  ‘Aliim. 8a.  ‘Alam  tara  ‘ilal-laziina  nuhuu  'anin-najwaa  summa  ya-'uuduuna  limaa  nuhuu  'anhu  wa  yatanaajawna  bil-‘ismi  wal-'udwaani  wa  ma'-siyatir-Rasuul.  Wa  ‘izaa  jaaa-'uuka  hayyawka  bimaa  lam  yuhayyika  biHillaahu,

7b.  and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things. 8a. Have you not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto you they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not,

Then it is commanded: Whatsoever they do or think in the world, Allaah Almighty is Aware of everything. He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Nothing is hidden from Him. It is commanded: See the people who were forbidden from private conversation in the Assembly of God’s Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It was their habit that they used to provoke the Muslims by talking silently being separate from the Muslims, by laughing at them or by making signals. When the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) used to command them for doing any work, they used to say in laughter condition: We can’t do so much difficult work. They were prevented from it that these were acts as of jokers, so they should be serious. But they did not refrain.

Here, their state is being disclosed that they have been doing the works of rebelling, sins and disobeying. Their one more arrogance was that Allaah Almighty taught them to say “’As-Salaamu ‘alaykum” when anyone comes or meets someone else, but they used to say in low voice “’As-Saamu ‘alaykum”. Saam means “death and destruction”. Even they used to refrain not from wickedness in greeting too, from which depravity of their nature is obvious.

God is with you every time

 

God is with you every time (L-3207)

أَحْصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ 6b أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا يَكُونُ مِن نَّجْوَىٰ ثَلَٰثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَآ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُوا7a

6b. ‘Ahsaa-Hullaahu  wa  nasuuh.  Wallaahu  'alaa  kulli  shay-'in  Shahiid.(Section 1/1) 7a.  ‘Alam  tara  ‘annAllaaha  ya'-lamu  maa  fis- samaawaati  wa  maa  fil  ‘arz.  Maa  yakuunu  min-najwaa  salaasatin  ‘illaa  Huwa  Raabi-'uhum  wa  laa khamsatin  ‘illaa  Huwa  Saadisuhum  wa  laaa  ‘adnaa  min-  zaalika  wa  laaa  ‘aksara  ‘illaa  Huwa  ma-'ahum  ‘ayna,  maa  kaanuu.

6b.  Allah has kept account of it while they forgot it. And Allah is Witness over all things. 7a. Have you not seen that Allah knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth ? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be;

It is commanded: Those who denied Allaah Almighty, they will be punished in such a way that they will become powerless entirely and their entire honour will be ruined. They should not consider that Allaah Almighty is unaware of their tricks, He has already written in a Register their every movement one by one, although they themselves have forgotten. It was concerning those who denied Islam openly and got ready to oppose the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

Besides them, there were some such people who were hypocrites. They used to dwell along with the Muslims as auxiliary blow and never missed any chance of troubling the Muslims. Their most little conduct was that wherever they used to see the gathering of Muslims, three or four hypocrites used to begin talking silently being separate from the Muslims, so that the Muslims should consider that they were planning to molest them. It was only for vexing the Muslims. However apparently they used to show themselves very cheerful and sociable, and did not provide any chance of objection. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) prevented them from such doubtful acts, but they did not refrain.

In the above mentioned verse, the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is being consoled that Allaah Almighty is along with them, Present as an Extra Individual every time and everywhere, and hears everything whatsoever they do or say, whether they are three or five or more or less.

Don’t disobey God

 

Don’t disobey God (L-3206)

بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ وَلِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 4b  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَآدُّونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ كُبِتُوا۟ كَمَا كُبِتَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ ءَايَٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَٰتٍ وَلِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ 5  يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓا6a

4b.  Billaahi  wa  Rasuulih.  Wa  tilka  huduudUllaah.  Wa  lil-kaafiriina  'Azaabun  ‘aliim. 5.  ‘Innal-laziina  yuhaaad-duunAllaaha  wa  Rasuula-Huu  kubituu  kamaa  kubital-laziina  min-  qablihim  wa  qad  ‘anzalNaaa  ‘Aayaatim-Bayyinaat.  Wa  lil-kaafiriina  'Azaabum-muhiin. 6a.  Yawma  yab-'asuhu-mUllaahu  jamii-'an  fayu-nabbi-'uhum- bimaa  'amiluu.

4b.  in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom. 5. Lo! Those who oppose Allah and His messenger will be abased even as those before them were abased; and We have sent down clear tokens, and for disbelievers is a shameful doom. 6a. On the day when Allah will raise them all together and inform them of what they did.

It is commanded: These are the limits set by Allaah Almighty. Don’t cross the line! A painful punishment is for the disbelievers who are careless from His Rules and Limits. Remember! The people who will oppose Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), will not obey the Commandments mentioned in Holy Qur’an and will not follow the traditions of His Messenger, they will be abased as those before them who were ruined due to disobedience of Allaah Almighty. Like this, these disobedient people will also be defeated and destroyed who choose their own ways instead of the way prescribed by Allaah Almighty. He has certainly sent down verses of clear evidence by means of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment. A Day will come very soon when Allaah Almighty will resurrect all of the mankind and will inform them of what they used to do in the world.
