Lesson
Maaa ‘an-zaltu – (which I have revealed) it signifies towards Holy Qur’aan, which was revealed
on the last Prophet (Peace be upon Him). This is the last Holy Book of God
Almighty.
Maa ma-‘a-kum - which you have, it signifies towards the Holy Book Torah which was
revealed on the Prophet Moses (Peace be upon Him). Its truth and religious
rules are approved by Holy Qur’aan.
Israelite are the people who are invited first of
all to believe on Holy Qur’aan. These people were the most famous out of the
Believers of Holy Books. They lived in the vicinity of Madina. This principle
was also in accord with the rule that invitation of goodness should be started
from the relatives and neighbours first. In the previous verse Allah Almighty reminded
them His rewards and blessings upon them and commanded to fulfill the covenant which
they have done with Him.
The covenant which is being asked to fulfill, to
believe on this book “Holy Qur’aan” is included which is revealed on the Last
Messenger Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him). So they should believe on It and act
upon Its Instructions. This Book, “Holy Qur’aan” also authenticates the
principles of their Holy Books.
After this it is being admonished that anyhow they shouldn't be the first disbelievers of the Holy Qur’aan out of the people who know the Religion
of God Almighty. As much knowledge regarding acquaintance of the last Prophet Muhammad
(Peace Be upon Him) and truth of Holy Qur’aan you have, that no other nation has
so much. So it is expected from that you will not become example of infidelity
and refusal for others. But as you are being invited first out of Holy Book
Holders, you will become cause of temptation for others by believing it first,
that they admit and believe on it seeing you. You shouldn't be afraid that if
you will believe on this last Holy Book and last Holy Prophet (Peace be upon
Him), you will lose your worldly dignity, influence and impression. Moreover you
will see that all badness will perish due to blessings of Islam. This world
will become comfortable for you and in the next world on the day of
Resurrection) you will be avoided from punishment.
Samanan
qaliila- (a trifling price) it means that not to become
desirous of wealth leaving the Right. The world is a contemptible and unvalued
thing comparing to the Right and Truth whether it seems how great apparently because
it is temporary and frail.
Wa ‘iyyaaya fattaquun – and
have afraid of Me. It’tiqaa means save
oneself from badness (evils). Here it is pointed towards only the fear of the
agony of God should be cause of avoiding badness. Although, the person who has
fear of Allah in his heart, he can save himself from the act of badness.
As Holy Qur’aan has behaved soft with Jews and as
fairly invited them towards Islam that it is also a proof about Holy Qur’aan that
it is the Speech of God. Manner of declaring the events and method of
addressing shows respect of Jews. Nothing is narrated like that may provoke
them. It is the miracle of Holy Qur’aan that created proper environment for
declaration of truth. If we the Muslims copy at least some of it then all the fears
of world will get finished.
The behaviour which Jews adopted with Islam, its
base seems nothing without stubborn and misunderstanding. Aim from selling the verses
of God is that Jewish Scholars changed Commands of God for casual benefits of
this world, issued self made religious decrees for some money, and hid orders
of God and did them inter-mixed for hiding their own badness. When scholars of
any nation indulge in these types of defects, then it is difficult for the nation
to save her from destruction.
In this lesson Allah Almighty preaches much about the
good conduct. Life in this world and its benefits are for a few days. Due to
this reason He advised the Jews not to take decisions by changing His orders
for the sake of contemptible gifts. Because the reward of telling correctly
about My orders is better for both the worlds (this life and on the day of
Resurrection) than these casual advantages and some compensations.
