Summary of the lessons - Part One (L-166)
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds that we have completed First Part of the Holy Qur’an; lesson by lesson with the Mercy and Favors of God. Now we are going to discuss the summary of all its lessons so that object of the Holy Qur’an may be understood in a few words.
It was stated in the introduction of Suratul-Baqarah (The Cow) that main topic of this Chapter is to teach the Muslims; which may grow sound moral character and behavior into themselves after this learning. By following their religion and morality, they may get utmost success and victory of this world and the Hereafter. It was necessary to teach them about pure religion and code of good morality that difference between religions, customs and beliefs be effaced of all the nations and religious sects which exist in the world, their weaknesses be disclosed and they be taught concerning the Straight Path.
At first, it has been explained about the necessity of inspiration and revelation in the First Part of Holy Qur’an and stated that this Scripture is a revealed Holy Book. The individual, who will accept Its teachings and obey its commandments, will find Straight Path and will succeed.
Then it was described that three types of people will grow in reply to the Holy Qur’an:
1. Those, who will accept the teachings of Holy Qur’an and will be bound on its orders/instructions, they will get every kind of success.
2. Those, who will oppose it strictly and will keep enmity with its Believers, such Infidels will be entitled to suffer heavy doom and anguish.
3. Those people who will belong to above both groups, Muslim in the Muslims and Infidel in the Infidels (Hypocrites), they will get painful doom.
Then, after advising to the Infidels and the Hypocrites, their attention is drawn towards the Law of God and it has been described that only those individuals criticize the Revelations, who have three types of diseases in their hearts:
• Weak faith
• Feeble nature
• Mean sense
After that, it is commanded that the Religion is filled in the nature of mankind. So inclining unto the Revelations of God is compulsion of the human being. Accordingly, when Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) was appointed as Caliph (Vicegerent) and then was sent on the earth, he (Peace be upon him) remained confused. God revealed some Words on him, which became cause of satisfaction of his heart (Peace be upon him).
Then the light is thrown on the necessity of Holy Qur’an. In this subject three defects of the Jews have been narrated:
• Doctrinal
• Practical
• Administrative
And they have been informed that they had involved in evil deeds and misconduct, so the Sovereignty was snatched from them. After this, it has been stated that they cannot do the work of invitation and command to be mingled with the Muslims too. Under this subject, wrong beliefs and false-loving of their people, scholars and rich men have been mentioned.
Then, it has been explained that the Children of Israel are not able to become gentle public as the Muslims. So the Muslims have been instructed that they should discontinue their relationship with them.
After that, remembrance of the prayer of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him), construction of Ka’-bah (the House of God) (the Inviolable Place of Worship at Makkah), Divine Mission of the last Messenger; Muhammad (ﷺ), his morality, good manners, courtesy and Muslim Ummah (nation) has been explained.
