The Parts Of The Belief

 

Elements of the Belief (L-355)

آمَنَ الرَّسولُ بِما أُنزِلَ إِلَيهِ مِن رَبِّهِ وَالمُؤمِنونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لا نُفَرِّقُ بَينَ أَحَدٍ مِن رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقالوا سَمِعنا وَأَطَعنا ۖ غُفرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَإِلَيكَ المَصيرُ285.

285.  ‘Aa-manar-Rasuulu  bi-maaa  ‘un-zila  ‘ilay-hi  mir-Rab-bihii  wal-Mu’-minuun. Kullun ‘aa-mana  Billaahi  wa  ma-laaa-‘ikati-Hii  wa  kutubiHii  wa  rusuliH.  Laa  nufarriqu  bay-na  ‘ahadim-mir-rusuliH.  Wa  qaaluu  sami’-naa  wa  ‘ata’-naa.  GufraanaKa  Rabbanaa  wa  ‘ilayKal-masiir.

285.  The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny.”

According to the narrations, purpose of revealing this verse is that, when the verse before it was revealed, “And whether you make known what is in your minds or hide it, God will bring you to account for it”, then the Companions (Razii-Allaahu ‘anhum wa  ra-zuu ‘Anhu) of the last Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ) frightened and were confounded. They made mention to the Messenger of God (ﷺ), then he (ﷺ) commanded, “Quuluu  sami’-naa  wa  ‘ata’-naa” (Say: We hear, and we obey) that is to say; Do not hesitate even a particle to admit the orders of God, as and when you see much difficulty or intricacy in His Commands and Instructions. Moreover, you must be ready to obey with stability.

The Companions (Razii-Allaahu ‘anhum wa  ra-zuu ‘Anhum) obeyed the Messenger (ﷺ), then following words were spoken by them without any delay, “We believed in God and we obeyed His orders. That is to say, we are ready to obey and act upon the commands of God without any hesitation. God liked it very much and then this verse was revealed, which has been described in this lesson.

God praised the Belief of His Messenger (ﷺ) and his Companions (Razii-Allaahu ‘anhum wa  ra-zuu ‘Anhu), due to which their hearts were satisfied. The Companions (Razii-Allaahu ‘anhum wa   ra-zuu ‘Anhu) said: We make no distinction between any of His messengers (Peace be upon them), moreover we admit all of them as the Prophet and Messenger of God, not that we believe in some of them and do not believe in others. We have full faith that we have to return unto You and attend Your Court. This perception of responsibility before God teaches the mankind goodness and fear of God. https://youtu.be/bMUKFAqJBoU
