Lesson
Wa-quudu-han-naasu wal-hijaa-ratu – Its fuel is of men and stones. It is earmarked
towards Fire of the Hell which will be much vigorous. It will also burn the
stones in addition to the human beings. As though the Idols of stones will
also become fuel of it. May it be that hint of Al-Hijaa-ratu is towards stony or hard-hearted
human-beings.
In
the previous lesson the adversary people were invited for competition with
Holy Qur’aan. Now they are being told, “if you are unable to compete and we
say that you shall not be able, then now it is clear that it is the Speech of
God”. And it is evident that the Messenger (Muhammad) (Peace be upon Him) is
the True Prophet. Now if you do not have faith on Prophet-hood of ‘Muhammad’
(Peace be upon Him) and do not act upon the commands of Holy Qur’aan, it
shall be the Base of Hell’s Agony. So you should arrange to escape from it
because the Fire of Hell is not the normal fire. But that is the Fire of
which men and stones will become its fuel. And this Fire is prepared for them
who contradict the commands of Islam, Prophet-hood of Muhammad (peace be upon
Him), Truth of the Divine percepts of Islam and purity of Holy Qur’aan.
Some
more talks have also been cleared from this verse:
1. The
matter in which enemies of Islam particularly “the Quresh” claimed, “purity
of the words and admonish the meanings easily”, made them humble in it and it
was proved that this Speech was of the God.
2. The false gods which the people have adopted
instead of the One God (Allah Almighty) and pray them for boons, those all
were refuted.
3.
Punishment of infidelity was fixed the Hell.
We
should not have any doubt in Truth of the Holy Qur’aan, purity of Islam, truth
and honesty of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’ (Peace be upon Him) because if all
the mankind try collectively to write any one small surah like Surahs of the
Holy Qur’aan, they can not bring (in which all those excellences must be
present which are held in this Speech). Some of those excellences are: pure
words, eloquence and rhetoric, preaching of good manners, explain the
meanings excellently, material for relief and guidance of all the people,
instructions for the mankind in all the matters of difficulties and problems,
equally useful for all the nations of the world etc.
‘Aa-manuu – They believe. Those people who have
not any doubt in worshipped-ness of the God, Prophet-hood of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’
(Peace be upon Him) and truth of Holy Qur’aan.
Wa ‘amilus-Saali-haati – (do good works). The works
which are according to the guidance of Holy Qur’aan and the Messenger (peace
be upon Him), pure from badness and crookedness.
In this verse good tidings have been
given to those who believe and do good works that they will go in the Gardens
(
Now it has been cleared that to become
rightful of the Heaven and for entering into it two excellences are necessary
for the human being. (1) There might be no doubt in his heart regarding God
and His Prophet (Peace be upon Him). (he should understand that his
worshipped, Lord and Master is Allah Almighty, promise that the Messenger of
God (Peace be upon Him) is true, believe that the Holy Qur’aan is the Speech
of God and have faith on the Day of Resurrection). (2) His all deeds would be according to the
commands of Holy Qur’aan and instructions of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon
Him). He should not leave any that work which has been ordered and instructed
as mentioned above. He should not do any prohibited work.
We have reached on this point with the
