Every Thing Is In The Jurisdiction Of Allah

Every Thing is in The Jurisdiction of Allah (L-454)

لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ شَىْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّ بَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَٰلِمُونَ 128.  وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّ بُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 129.

128.  Laysa  laka  minal-‘amri   shay-‘un  ‘aw  Yatuuba  ‘alayhim  ‘aw  Yu-‘azzibahum  fa-‘innahum  Zaalimuun. 129.  Wa  Lillaahi  maa  fis-samaa-waati  wa  maa  fil-‘arz. Yagfiru  limany-yashaaa-‘u  wa  Yu-‘az-zibu  many-yashaaa’. WAllaahu  Gafuurur-Rahiim.

128. It is no concern of yours whether He redeems them or punishes them. They are wrongdoers. 129. To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Seventy companions (May God be pleased with them) of Messenger (ﷺ) were martyred in the Battle of ‘Uhud. Paternal Uncle of Holy Prophet (ﷺ), named Amir Hamza (May God be pleased with him) was also killed along with them and he was granted the title of Sayyidush-Shuhadaaa’ (Chief of the Martyrs). Polytheists disgraced very brutally the dead body of Amir Hamza (May God be pleased with him). One eye of Holy Messenger (ﷺ) was injured, one lower right side tooth out of the front four teeth was broken, chain ring of his own helmet was broken and penetrated in his cheek, forehead was injured and his (ﷺ) body had been covered with blood. His foot was staggered, he (ﷺ) fell down on the ground and became senseless.

The infidels announced that Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had been killed. Muslims were confused and the people were stunned. After some time, when Holy Prophet (ﷺ) came in senses, this sentence was on his tongue, “How that nation will be prosperous, which injured her Prophet’s face, who used to call them towards God”.

After observing these brutal tyrannies of the polytheists, Messenger of God (ﷺ) desired to imprecate for some tyrant people from them, but it was not acceptable to God. Therefore, the people for whom Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was going to invoke a curse, God put all of them down in the feet of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) after a few days, and made them venturesome soldiers of Islam.

The intent to describe from this verse is that neither a mankind has any authority, and nor complete knowledge. Although, the infidels are tyrannizing the Muslims but it is the Will of God whether He relents toward them or punishes them. Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth belongs to Him. He forgives whom He wills and guides towards the light of Belief, but seizes in the punishment of infidelity whom He wills. But God’s Praise of Mercy and Forgiveness keeps Superiority on His entire other Praises. He neither desires to put someone in trouble and nor punish anyone until the time someone reaches the last stage of bad doings and disobedience.

Victory comes only from God the Almighty, the Wise (L-453)

 

وَمَا جَعَلَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشْرَىٰ لَكُمْ وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُكُم بِهِۦ وَمَا ٱلنَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ 126.  لِيَقْطَعَ طَرَفًا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَوْ يَكْبِتَهُمْ فَيَنقَلِبُوا۟ خَآئِبِينَ 127.

126.  Wa  maa  ja-‘alahUllaahu  ‘illaa  bushraa  lakum  wa  litat-ma-‘inna  quluubukum-  bih. Wa  mannasru  ‘illaa  min  ‘inDillaahil-‘Aziizil-Hakiim. 127.  Li-yaqta-‘a  tara-fam-minallaziina  kafaruuu  ‘aw yakbitahum  fa-yanqalibuu  khaaa-‘ibiin.

126. God made it but a message of hope for you, and to reassure your hearts thereby. Victory comes only from God the Almighty, the Wise. 127. He thus cuts off a section of those who disbelieved, or subdues them, so they retreat disappointed.

The help of God reached in the form of angles (Peace be upon them) and all the invisible stuff were provided so that fear and confusion from the hearts of Muslims get away and they acquire peace and satisfaction. Otherwise, help of God is neither needy of such things, nor bound of reasons. His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says unto it: Be! And it is, or when He wishes, disgrace and abject the Infidels suffer without any battle. The help, which Angels (Peace be upon them) bring, cannot do so without permission and power of God. God is the Mighty and the Overcoming. He is the Wise and Knows very well that which type of means would be suitable to affect His purpose.

It is our observation from the daily life that the results and events manifest from the particular motives. For example, the thirst is quenched by drinking water, the cure of hunger is taking food, the death happens when the heartbeat stops. This law has so much big universal status that believing in it has become part of the mankind’s faith. When and where any result occurs, the people begin to discover its reason. Likewise, if any person wants to produce a special result or particular situations, then he brings into effect necessary causes for them. Similarly, it has become human being’s belief that no result can be out without motives. Whereas, it is the fact that a very Mighty and Wise Power has been working behind this law, the Hand of God is working behind the relation of motives and results.  

Having trust in the apparent motives is the sign of our belief’s weakness. If God wills then the result can be produced without any apparent motive. The promise of Angle’s help (Peace be upon them) in the Battle of Badr reminds us that instead of having trust in the apparent motives, we should have perfect trust in complete Divine Power (Omnipotence) of God.

God Can Help The Believers With Angels

 

Reinforcement of the Believers with the help of Angels (L-452)

إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَن يَكْفِيَكُمْ أَن يُمِدَّكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِثَلَٰثَةِ ءَالَٰفٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ مُنزَلِينَ 124.  بَلَىٰٓ إِن تَصْبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ وَيَأْتُوكُم مِّن فَوْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِخَمْسَةِ ءَالَٰفٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِمُسَوِّمِينَ 125.

124.  ‘Iz  taquulu  lil-Mu’-miniina  ‘alany-yak-fiyakum  ‘any-yumiddakum  Rabbukum-  bi-salaasati  ‘aalaafim-minal-malaaa-‘ikati  munzaliin   125.  Balaaa,  ‘in-tasbiruu  wa  tattaquu  wa  ya’-tuukum-min- fawrihim  haazaa  yumdidkum  Rabbukum-  bi-khamsati  ‘aalaa-fim-minal-malaaa-‘ikati  mu-saw-wimiin.

124. When you said to the believers, “Is it not enough for you that your Lord has reinforced you with three thousand angels, sent down?” 125. It is; but if you persevere and remain cautious, and they attack you suddenly, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels, well trained.

The religious scholars say that this verse signifies towards the Battle of Badr. While the Muslims frightened after observing a large number of Infidels, God commanded for their consolation, “Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should support you with angels (Peace be upon them) sent down from the sky for your help against the Infidels?”

Then God affirmed, “if you persevere, prove to be patient, fear God and keep away from evil, and the enemy’s Army attacks you suddenly, then your Lord will help you with five thousand instead of three thousand angels (Peace be upon them) sweeping on special marked horses”.

Strength of Infidels was one thousand in the field of battle. Therefore, God promised to send one thousand Angels (Peace be upon them) as it has been mentioned in Surah ‘Anfaal (Spoils of War). When the Muslims felt confusion, then God increased the strength of Angels (Peace be upon them) threefold, because the strength of the Infidels was threefold than Muslims. God appointed that if they would persevere, show firmness and stability, stand still to fight their enemies, fear from God and keep away from the evil, then five thousand Angels (Peace be upon them) will be sent down from the sky. Even if the disbelievers get more help from somewhere, you must not be confused. God will help you. It comes in the histories that the help of Kuuz bin Jabir did not reach the polytheists. The Muslims acquired greatest victory over the disbelievers. Many disbelievers were killed, some were arrested and who remained alive, they returned being abject and disgraced. This Battle of Badr happened to be cause of difference between the right and the wrong, and it became a golden page of the history of Muslim’s bright past. https://youtu.be/yf3EnS_I7As

Victory Of Badr

 

Victory of the Battle of Badr (L-451)

وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَأَنتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُون123.

123.  Wa  laqad  nasara-kumUllaahu  bi-Badrinw-wa  ‘antum  ‘azillah.  Fatta-qUllaaha  la-‘allakum  tash-kuruun.

123.  God had given you victory at Badr, when you were weak. So fear God, that you may be thankful.

Badr  - The first battle between Islam and Infidelity was fought on 17^th Ramadan 2 AH. In the battlefield of Badr, a handful number of Muslims got such graceful victory that the spine of infidelity was broken. The Infidels judged first time about the strength of the Muslims. ‘Antum  ‘azillah  (you were contemptible). At that time, strength of Muslims was 313 (three hundred and thirteen only) including old, young, little (boys) and elders, who might be able to fight. They all did not have even proper weapons to fight. This entire Army had only 70 (seventy) camels and two horses. The swords and lances of some of the persons were broken. Even, some of those persons were carrying only staffs of the date trees for proceeding to the crusade.

Some crusaders of Islam were such persons, who were not able to fight due to their age and height, and Messenger of God (ﷺ) wished that they should not go in the battlefield. But after observing their longing, he (ﷺ) was compelled to let them permit to go.

The Battle of Badr was a very strong test of the Muslims’ courage and spirit. One thousand Quraysh braves attacked under command of well conversant generals including Abu Jahal {the father of ignorance and uncle of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Most of them were riders. The men in armor out of them were three hundred. They all had all types of arms and equipment for war.

These one thousand Army Personnel, Intoxicated with power, assaulted three hundred and thirteen Muslims. But in the first assault this great multitude was compelled to surrender. Their seventy persons were slain and the Muslims arrested the same numbers. Those overcame who were weak and those were disgraced who were powerful.

This verse contains very great lesson in itself to satisfy the injured Muslims of the Battle of ‘Uhud and desire of pleasing the weak Muslims. If God can support the Truth to conquer during its prime time of helplessness, then why the  Billions of the Muslims of today should be distressed in mind. They should put their trust in God and use their entire strength in eminence of Islam.

What Happens If Disobeyed In War?

 

The Believers must put their trust in God (L-450)

إِذْ هَمَّت طَّآئِفَتَانِ مِنكُمْ أَن تَفْشَلَا وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ 122.

122.  ‘Iz  hammat-taaa-‘ifataani  minkum  ‘an-  tafshalaa,  WAllaahu  Waliy-yu-humaa. Wa ‘alAllaahi  fal-yata-wakkalil-Mu’-minuun.

122.  When two groups among you almost faltered, but God was their Protector. So in God let the believers put their trust.

 Taaa-‘ifataani - (Two parties), the aim from these two parties is the people of those two tribes ‘Banu Harthah’ and ‘Banu Salmah’, who had become broken hearted and almost fallen away at the time of the Battle of ‘Uhud.

The plan of the battlefield has been described in the previous lesson. You have read it earlier that the total numbers of Muslims were just one thousand against three thousand Quraysh braves. Three hundred Fraudster Hypocrites returned in the way out of those one thousand with their leader ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy . It was not extraordinary thing for feeble-hearted persons to be worried after observing this situation. The people of ‘Banu Harthah’ and ‘Banu Salmah’ became perplexed and thought, “What will happen now?” God raised feelings of ambition and courage in their hearts, and drew out the concept of deficiency and majority of manpower from their hearts.   

The Muslims advanced with such power of trust in God that the spirit of Infidels went to an end and they began to run from the battleground. The Warriors of Islam began to arrest them and collect their equipment. When the fifty archers, appointed at the hill-pass, observed this situation, they also involved in it. Even they forgot the warning of Holy Messenger (ﷺ) and did not care to their leader’s advice.     

Khalid bin Waleed had not embraced Islam till then. He was leading the enemy’s Army (of Makkan Infidels). As soon as he observed that the hill-pass was without the archers, he collected his deserting companions, attacked with their help from that side and changed the map of battlefield. The Muslims were confused and they suffered with many casualties. Even the Messenger of God (ﷺ) personally was injured.

The Muslims drew up in a line again. They advanced and engaged in a desperate undertaking once again, beat the Quraysh braves and drove them back. The world knew that deficiency or surplus manpower had no value in the battlefield, but the steadfastness and patience of the crusaders, victory and support from God are of use.

Preparations For The Battle Of ‘Uhud

 

Preparations for The Battle of ‘Uhud (L-449)

وَإِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقَٰعِدَ لِلْقِتَالِ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 121.

121.  Wa  ‘iz  gadawta  min  ‘ah-lika  tubaw-wi-‘ul-Mu’-miniina  maqaa-‘ida  lil-qitaal. WAllaahu Samii-‘un  ‘Aliim-

121.  Remember when you left your home in the morning, to assign battle-positions for the believers. God is Hearing and Knowing.

The events regarding preparations for the battle, departure from home to the battleground and drawing up in flanks for the battlefield by Holy Messenger (ﷺ) have been indicated in this verse. Holy Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded from home for the crusade in the right path early in the morning. He assigned the positions to the Believers for the battle, caused them to sit down on the appropriate lines of entrenchments and arranged the map of battlefield.

Here it signifies towards the Battle of ‘Uhad. Afterwards, the events and circumstances will be mentioned continuously about the Battle of ‘Uhad. It seems appropriate to describe the events of this battle (Gazwah) briefly in this lesson, so that there would not be necessary to repeat it again and again.   

On Saturday, March 19th, 625 (3^rd Shawwal) 3 AH, the Quraysh of Makkah led their Army to Madinah with three thousand selected braves. One year earlier, they suffered a defeat in the battle of Badr. So then, they came with full preparations. Holy Prophet (ﷺ) consulted his companions (May God be pleased with them). The old people advised that self-defense must be arranged by staying within the township. ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy (the chief of the Khazraj tribe) and leader of the hypocrites had also this opinion. The young people said, “It is the sign of weakness; we should go out and fight against them. We shall defend with stakes and engage in a desperate undertaking at every cost.

Holy Messenger of God (ﷺ) agreed to this suggestion, came out from his house wearing the armor and departed towards the battlefield from the township along with other Muslims. Total numbers of Muslims were one thousand. ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy (the leader of the hypocrites) returned with his three hundred disbelievers saying that ‘when you did not agree to us then we would not cooperate with you’.  

Holy Prophet (ﷺ) delivered the flag over to Mas-‘ab bin ‘Umar (May God be pleased with him), appointed Zubair bin Awam (May God be pleased with him) as commander of  the troops of the horses, kept the people (who were not in armor) under the command of Amir Hamza (May God be pleased with him), appointed fifty archers at a pass (of the mountain) under supervision of ‘Abd-Allah bin Zubair (May God be pleased with him) and ordered them that they should not leave the pass at any cost. This battle of right and wrong began with these preparations.

Envy Of Disbelievers

 

Jealousy of the people of the Scripture (L-448)

إِن تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَفْرَحُوا۟ بِهَا وَإِن تَصْبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ.  120

120.  ‘In-  tamsaskum  hasana-tun- tasu’-hum  wa  in  tusibkum  sayyi- ‘atuny-yafrahuu  bihaa.  Wa  ‘in- tas-biruu  wa  tattaquu  laa  yazurrukum  kayduhum   shay-‘aa.  ‘InnAllaaha  bimaa  ya’-maluuna  Muhiit.     (Section 12/3)

120.  If something good happens to you, it upsets them; but if something bad befalls you, they rejoice at it. But if you persevere and maintain righteousness, their schemes will not harm you at all. God comprehends what they do.

Enmity of the People of the Scripture is apparent with the Muslims from the matter that if any lucky chance befalls them, it is disagreeable to the People of the Scripture. By observing the union of the Muslims, their prosperity, victory and superiority over the enemies, they foam with fury and rage of jealousy. But if any misfortune frustrates the Muslims, then the People of the Scripture gladden at that occasion. What can be expected from such kind of mean nation for goodness and well-wishing?

This behavior of the People of the Scripture was not only during the primary time of Islam, but till today, they behave with the Muslims as such. However, it is another thing if they refrain from enmity due to their any personal expedience for some time.

There was a possibility that some Muslims may think about restriction from keeping the friendship with the People of the Scripture as, “When they will not keep friendly relationships with those People, then perhaps they will conspire more frequently against the Muslims and try to harm them ardently”. To overcome this impediment of anxiety, God commanded, “Don’t fear, if you persevere, keep steadiness and remain away from the evil, then any of their guile, conspiracy or deception will never harm you”. God knows the entire, what they allure. He is Omnipotent and Possessor of all Powers and Strength. He will keep them annihilated. The Muslims should keep their matters clear with God, trust in His Power and Strength and hold fast His rope, leave no stone unturned in mutual union and relationships, remain individually steadfast on honesty and integrity. They will not have any fear of confederacies and adversities of the Infidels, the obstinate, the Jews or the Christians. Even today, while the disbelievers and infidels have become origin of danger for the Muslims, and have surrounded them from every direction, now the Muslims should be attentive and adopt the path of patience and steadfastness with effect from the beginning. They should keep the fear of God in their breasts and intend to die in His Way with self-determination. Then there is no reason that their entire opposite powers would not become helpless through long or continued looking.

You Love Them But They Love You Not

 

God knows what is within the hearts (L-447)

هَٰٓأَنتُمْ أُو۟لَآءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْكِتَٰبِ كُلِّهِۦ وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَاخَلَوْا۟ عَضُّوا۟ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْأَنَامِلَ  مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ قُلْ مُوتُوا۟ بِغَيْظِكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ.  119

119.  Haaa-‘antum  ‘ulaaa-‘i  tu-hibbuunahum  wa  laa  yuhib-buunakum  wa  tu’-minuuna  bil-Kitaabi  kullih. Wa  ‘izaa  la-quukum  qaaluuu’  ‘aamannaa. Wa  ‘izaa  khalaw  ‘azzuu  ‘alay-kumul-‘anaamila  minal-gayz. Qul-  muutuu  bi-gayzikum. ‘InnAllaaha  ‘Alii-mum-  bizaatis-suduur.

119.  There you are, you love them, but they do not love you, and you believe in the entire scripture. And when they meet you, they say, “We believe;” but when they are alone, they bite their fingers in rage at you. Say, “Die in your rage; God knows what is within the hearts.”

God has commanded to the Muslims, “You have fallen in the love of the People of the Scripture but they are not your friends. They are such enemies who desire to undermine you. You believe in the entire Scriptures whether those belong to any nation and revealed during any Prophet’s (Peace be upon him) time. On the contrary, they do not believe in your Book (Holy Qur’an) and Prophet, Muhammad (ﷺ). Even their faith in their own Scripture is not correct too. It was necessary for them that they would have to love you and you would have exposed displeasure from them but the case is going opposite here.   

The Hypocrites used to claim by tongue that they were Muslims, like them the Christians and the Jews also began saying the word ‘aamannaa (we are Muslims) for getting the meanings from it that they believed in their Scripture and acknowledged them. Therefore, they used to try deceiving the Believers in the screen of saying “As we believe in our books and admit them, therefore we are also Muslims”.

Their malice with the Muslims can be felt from the fact that by observing the progress of Islam and mutual affection between the Muslims, they become jealous. When they cannot do something, then due to anger and wrath they gnash their teeth and bite their fingers-tips. The Muslims would not get any harm from their enmity. The People of the Scripture will die continuously in their rage and their desires will be in vain. God has informed the Muslims about their secret wickedness, so that they may escape always from the enemies of their own and God.

Don't befriend outsiders who wish to harm you (L-446)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا۟ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ ٱلْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَمَا  تُخْفِى صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ.  118

118.  O you who believe! Do not befriend outsiders who never cease to wish you harm. They love to see you suffer. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their hearts conceal is worse. We have made the messages clear for you, if you understand.

In connection with the purpose to reveal this verse, description about both the groups i.e. the Jews and the Hypocrites has been mentioned. This narration has been written about the first mentioned group, that before Islam, those Muslims who had friendly relationships with the Jews based on the neighborhood, remained as usually they were even after Islam. Trusting in their friendship, the Muslims used to tell them also some confidential and secret matters/suggestions.

Concerning the Hypocrites, it is narrated that due to considering them as Muslims, usually the Believers were careless from them and used to tell them their (Muslims) secrets. Likewise, there was fear of severe loss from them.

To save the Muslims from the evil of the Jews and the Hypocrites, here it has been described clearly that the Muslims should not take for intimates others than the Muslims, because no other group is well-wisher of the Muslims, whether they are Jews or Christians, Hypocrites or Idolaters. Nevertheless, these people remain in effort always to harm the Muslims, involve them in the religious and worldly mischief. They become happy when the Muslims remain in difficulty and calamity.

God commands that the enmity and hatred, which are hidden in their breasts, are greater. Usually they love to hamper you. Sometimes their feelings of suffocation and hatred are revealed by the utterance of their mouths, which disclose their deep enmity clearly. Their tongues do not remain in their control due to rivalry and jealousy. Therefore, a wise person should not take such distrustful enemies for his/her intimates.

Which Is Spent By The Infidels, Is Not Acceptable

 

Spending  by the Disbelievers is useless (L-445) 

مَثَلُ مَايُنفِقُونَ فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٍ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِنْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ . 117

117.  Masalu  maa  yunfiquuna  fii haazihil-hayaatid-dunyaa  ka-masali  riihin-  fiihaa  sirrun ‘asaabat  harsa  qaw-min- zala-muuu  ‘anfusahum  fa-‘ahla-kat-h. Wa maa zalamahumUllaahu  wa laakin  ‘anfusahum yazlimuun.

117.  The parable of what they spend in this worldly life is that of a frosty wind that strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged their souls, and destroys it. God did not wrong them, but they wronged their own selves.

The End of the Infidels has been described in this verse that whatever the wealth they spend in the world, it would not have any value on the Day of Resurrection, because due to lack of faith, their every deed is useless and dead.

Thus, its meed would also be perishable and they will get it only in this world. Belief is the protector of acts forever. Likeness of the acts without faith is as someone planted a garden and did not arrange to protect it from the frost. Looking at the garden’s prosperity and greenness, he used to be happy for a few days and rely on it very much. Suddenly a biting, icy wind blows and it smites his entire blooming garden and harvest. That person remained losing his destruction and ruin. Neither his hope was fulfilled and nor he could reap any advantage from its production at the time of necessity. This destruction was a punishment of his oppression and wickedness. Therefore, he will not be able to get any meed/reward upon this calamity in the Hereafter.    

 Ka-masali  riihin- (likeness of wind), Alms and charity giving by the disbelievers has been explained as such a gust of air, which contains biting and icy wind. It means, “That air which becomes cause of suffering and destruction in place of delight and merriment”.  Apparently, the human beings trust in it, but in fact its result comes out opposite.    

The disbelievers of God do well (according to their thoughts) and spend money on good works. Apparently, the observer expects good results from it but in fact, it is not as such. When greatest services of a disloyal and rebellious cannot save him from the punishment of the sin of violence in the world then how the disbelievers may escape from the punishment in the Court of the Most Strong Ruler, God? https://youtu.be/oSx39-Lf1Zc

116.  ‘Innal-laziina  kafaruu  lan-tugniya  ‘anhum  ‘amwaa-luhum  wa laaa  ‘awlaadu-hum-minAllaahi  shay-‘aa. Wa  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  ‘As-haabun-Naar. Hum  fiihaa  khaaliduun.

116.  As for those who disbelieve, neither their possessions nor their children will avail them anything against God. These are the inhabitants of the Fire, abiding therein forever.

After describing about the righteous people, now discussion concerning the Infidels begins. God has commanded in this verse that only Belief is the thing, which will help in the World and in the Hereafter. Nothing of the worldly things like wealth and property, children and family will help the human being. For these things, any person must not deteriorate his/her life of the Hereafter.

This matter has already been explained earlier that biggest reason for human being, which attracts towards the infidelity and disbelief, is wealth, property and the children. These things tempt the person, he loves, keeps them very dare and forgets the difference between right and wrong; being in love with them. Sometimes he gets ready to sacrifice honesty, truth, justice and virtue. He imagines that piles of wealth and property, sons and relatives will help him everywhere. These things will put off his entire misfortunes. Such ignorant person does not understand that these all things are mortal. Their life is for a few days. These all are inferior and unreal things, which will not provide him any support. The real thing is the Wealth of Belief, which is sustainable and eternal, due to which mankind gets respect and honor in the world as well as wants success in the Hereafter.

Today, we see many people around us who are proud of their wealth, who behave with boastfulness due to their many children, who rejoice on their properties and factories. They consider that these things are their religion and faith. Being haughty of these things; they forget their Creator and the Messenger (ﷺ) and laugh at simpleton and good people. Last abode of such people is the Hell, in the fire of which they will be burnt for ever.

As though, success and failure; reward and punishment of the mankind will be according to every individual’s own deeds. In a pair of scales of the Justice, entire deeds will be weighed. Name and dynasty will not be useful.

More Peculiarities of the Pious (L-443)

يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِوَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ.  114  وَمَا يَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَن يُكْفَرُوهُ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلْمُتَّقِينَ.  115

114.  Yu’-minuuna  Billaahi  wal-Yaw-mil-‘Aakhiri  wa  ya’-muruuna   bil-ma’-ruufi  wa  yan-hawna  ‘anil-munkari  wa  yu-saari-‘uuna  fil-khay-raat.  Wa  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  minas-Saalihiin. 115.  Wa  maa  yaf-‘aluu  min  khayrin-  falany-yukfaruuh.  WAllaahu  ‘Aliimum—bil-Mutta-qiin.

114. They believe in God and the Last Day, and advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and are quick to do good deeds. These are among the righteous. 115. Whatever good they do, they will not be denied it. God knows the righteous.

The peculiarities of the righteous group from the People of the Scripture are being described. Their three virtues were stated in the first verse, that is to say; they are on the straight path, recite the Revelations of God in the hours of night and they fall prostrate before God. Now their some more peculiarities have been mentioned.

They have faith in God and the Last Day wholeheartedly, fear from the Day of Judgment and want to precede from others by running fast when they are called for any good work. Moreover, they wish also to bring others towards the right path. No doubt, these are the People from the Jews, to whom God bestowed fortune of good disposition and special part of the guidance.

It has been cleared from the verse that although different types of evils had been produced into the Jews, despite reciting the glad tidings concerning the Last Messenger (ﷺ) in their Holy and Heavenly Books, they remained firm upon the denial. Even then, there were such People present among them, who succeeded in recognizing the Truth by leaving the stubbornness and spite. It rained such blessings of God upon those People. Other Jews who used to deny the True Religion for keeping up their false dignity, their end would be very bad.  

So it is evident that he/she gets the Divine guidance, who leaves the stubbornness, recites the Revelations of God, also falls prostrate before Him at night, believes in Oneness of God and the Day of Resurrection, abstains from the evils and runs towards the good deeds. Such People will get meed from God. He knows the pious People very well. Therefore, whenever the evils of the Jews are discussed, then these types of sober and abstinent persons are exempted.
