وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا۟

103a. And hold fast to the rope of God, altogether, and do
not become divided. |
HabLillaahi - (the Cable of God), besides literal meanings of Habl as cable, it also means ‘covenant’, promise’ in Arabic language. Moreover, every such thing, which may be used as affinity, can be meant too with it. In this verse, the aim from bringing the word HabLillaahi is “Holy Qur’an and Divine Law of Islam”, holding of which is the source of success in this world and deliverance on the Day of Judgment.
jamii-‘an - (all together), that is to say; all the people of Muslim nation should hold fast the Cable of God with amity and alliance collectively.
‘A’-tasimuu - (Hold fast!), ‘i’-tisaam means to hold fast and grasp strongly. It desires that the Word of God be propped very strongly with intention and stability, be acted upon it and be made it aim of one’s life.
God has caused the policy in this verse to know. If that policy is adopted then the Muslim nation can escape from the conspiracies, evil and dissensions of the enemies. As that, if all of you together will hold fast the Holy Qur’an, Divine Islamic Law and will act upon it, then no devilish power may overcome you, and no evildoer will be able to mislead and cause you to go astray.
In the previous verse, the persons of the nation were instructed that they all should make their own lives better. They should live a life of God fearing and pious persons; remain living in Islam and die in Islam. Now it has been commanded to the Muslim Ummah in this verse that after setting their personal lives, they should hold the Cable of God fast, all of them together, and should not be disjoined. When it will be done so, then their collective lives will also be unshaken and will not be able to be seized like their individual lives. Due to this act, the distracted powers are assembled and a dead nation gets new life.
To hold the Holy Qur’an fast is ordered by God. It is such a recipe that by using it, the entire political, economical, social, moral and worldly evils of the nation run away. Holy Qur’an teaches the lesson of success in this world as well as it promises about honor and triumph in the Hereafter. Its teachings comprehend upon all points of view of the human life. The Word of God describes us solution of our entire individual and collective problems. Overall, it is a complete Code of life. Mystery of Success and exaltation of the Muslim nation is hidden in its following.
Holding fast the Holy Qur’an does
not mean to hold it with hands only. Like this, it does not aim to keep it in
view every time that everything is labeled with it, its verses are searched for
every desire and the object is attained by winning over their meanings.
