6. The
path of those You have blessed, |
In the previous verse, we were taught the way of praying in the Court of God for showing us the Straight Path. Now, it has been explained about the Straight Path in this verse. Entire matters of guidance and perfect knowledge have been explained in Holy Qur’an. God has sent sufficient practical patterns {Prophets and Messengers (Peace be upon them)} by His Grace and Kindness for human beings, so that it may be easy to follow them by keeping their chaste lives before us and choosing the right path. Therefore, He taught us supplication that He should cause us to run on the foot-prints of His beloved Servants, to whom He has blessed.
Mention of the persons, who have been favored, exists in Verse # 4: 69 (Surah ‘An-Nisaa’). Translation of that verse is, “Whoso obeyed God and the Messenger, they are with those to whom God has shown guidance, of the Prophets and the Saints and the Martyrs and the Righteous. And what a best of company are they indeed.”
The Prophets and The Messengers (Peace be upon them) – they are such chosen Persons, to whom God has selected for conveying His message to His human creature (mankind). There is no possibility of mistake or error in the teachings of any Prophet (Peace be upon him). Prophet remains innocent and protected from the sins. Numerous news of the lives of the Prophets (Peace be upon them) have been described abundantly in Holy Qur’an. Chieftain of the chaste class of Prophets is the Last Messenger, Muhammad (Peace be upon them). His all holy Habits and Sayings (ﷺ) have been saved in writing. Our success in this life and deliverance on the Day of Resurrection is hidden in obedience of the commandments of the last holy Prophet (ﷺ).
Siddique – (A Faithful Witness of the Truth). Siddique comes at the second position after Prophets (Peace be upon them). These people achieve very higher grades by following the teachings of The Prophets (Peace be upon them), like Abu Bakr Siddique (May God be pleased with him), the First Caliph of The Last Messenger (ﷺ). Siddique is a title of Joseph (Peace be upon him) also along with His Prophet-hood, and Abu Bakr (May God be pleased with him).
The Martyrs. They are such venerable individuals who are influenced particularly by the teachings of Prophets (Peace be upon them). They have full belief in the promises of God and rewards of good works (after death). And they are inclined to such stage that they fall a sacrifice. God bestows eternal life to them.
The Righteous. Those servants of God who try wholeheartedly to follow the Prophets (Peace be upon them) with all possible ways. These all great people become example for them who come after them.
God commands us in this verse:
“The Straight and Right Path is that, which, the laureate persons chose. The
success is in following their foot-steps”.
