Lesson
Taaluuta – (Saul son of Kash), after Prophet Moses,
Saul (peace be upon them) has been recognized as very great and first king of
the children of Israel. His reign is told from 1028 BC to 1012 BC. He (peace be
upon him) belonged to Bin-Yaamiin Tribe, which had a customary grade. Any
king was never chosen out of that dynasty. Neither they were too much wealthy
nor rich.
Evil-minded Jews criticized this
(Saul’s) appointment as king that He (peace be upon him) has not been given
enough wealth. He is a poor person. How can a poor person be a king for us (the
rich people)? They thought that sovereignty and leadership is the inborn right
of the rich-men.
It is not only resting over the Jews.
The materialist nations made always these types of wrong principles, and they
deemed the government as bondwoman of the house of rich persons. While this
concept is infinite foolish and un-justly, so Allah Almighty declared with
clearness this wrong concept of the Jews in His last Scripture for warning of
coming breeds, so that nobody may remain in misunderstanding in future, and no
nation should suppose the wealth and riches as standard of leadership and exaltation.
After it if any nation or group
imagines the riches as cause of superiority even then, that nation or group
would have to face the same punishment which has already been tolerated by the
Jews, because the Law of Nature doesn't change.
