He Is Guided, Who Holds Fast To Allah

 

Whoever cleaves to God is guided to a Right Path (L-429)

وَكَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ وَأَنتُمْ تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ وَفِيكُمْ رَسُولُهُۥ وَمَن يَعْتَصِم بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ هُدِىَ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ 101.

101.  Wa  kayfa  tak-furuuna  wa  ‘antum  tutlaa  ‘alaykum  ‘Aayaa- tUllaahi  wa  fiikum  Rasuuluh.  Wa  many-ya’-tasim  Billaahi  fa-qad  hudiya  ‘ilaa  Siraatim-Mustaqiim. (Section 10/1)

101.  And how could you disbelieve, when God’s revelations are being recited to you, and among you is His Messenger? Whoever cleaves to God has been guided to a straight path.

It has been described in this verse that the nation like Muslims cannot become disbelievers after having faith, because Messenger of God (of high dignity) is present among them, who causes them to hear the Word of God, which increases their Belief. He recites the Revelations of God. It is the fact that the person, whosoever holds fast to God; leaving entire other paths and whosoever places confidence and trust in Him heartily, no power can foil up or down him from the straight path.

The ancient folks of Madinah had very severe enmity against one another before Islam. They used to decide on a war upon very ordinary matters and the bazaar of bloodshed used to be hot (angry). When the Last Messenger of God, Muhammad (ﷺ) migrated from Makkah to Madinah, then they were lucky. The enmity between the tribes, which had been running since hundreds of the years, changed in to friendship due to teachings of Islam and blessings of the company of the Messenger (ﷺ). Moreover, very strong brotherly relationships were established among them.

The Jews of Madinah became very unpleasant due to likewise meeting of these dynasties and families, and their coming on one platform for the service and protection of Islam. They appointed a person, to make mention wherever the people of the both lineages assemble about “The War of Bu-‘aas” (which was fought between the two famous tribes). He began reading the poetry to remind about the war whenever he found opportunity to cause the both parties to hear. As soon as the people heard this poetry, then with in no time a spark of anger was inflamed and both tribes began to equip their weapons for war. By chance Messenger of God (ﷺ) reached there with some companions (May God be pleased with them). He (ﷺ) commanded, “O Muslims! Fear your Lord Almighty. While I am in your midst, then how this uncivil calling out is aloud? God guided you. Do you want to return from the light of guidance immediately after arriving, towards the darkness of ignorance”? As soon as they listened to the voice of the Messenger (ﷺ), then entire rings of the devil’s net broke one by one. The entire people threw their weapons and began weeping and embracing one another. They all understood that it was their enemies’ mischievousness, from which they would have to be careful in future. https://youtu.be/RKs5oDZAMBs
