BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allaah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful
|
And unto thee have We revealed the
Scripture with the truth, confirming
whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it; so judge between
them by that which Allaah hath
revealed, and follow not their low desires deviating from the truth which
hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced-out
way. Had Allaah willed He would
have made you one community, but that He may try you by that which He hath
given you (He hath made you as ye are); so vie one with another in good
works. Unto Allaah ye will all
return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ-

Lesson
When the Last Messenger of Allaah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) came to Madinah
and the Muslims got strength due to gracing with the Messenger’s presence, then
a great difficult fell suddenly upon the Jews. Heretofore, they used to press
the weak and judge their own and the mutual disputes as it come into their
minds. Once, some respectable people came unto the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) from the tribe Banu Nazayr of the Jews. This tribe was very powerful. They had a
strife against another tribe of the Jews named; Banu Qurayzah, who were weaker than them. Banu Nazayr said to the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him),
“We shall become Muslims, if You judge our dispute with Banu Qurayzah in accordance with our will, and many other people
will also embrace Islam due to our very powerful impression”.
The Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) replied, “I shall judge with equity. I don’t need such
Muslims, who embrace Islam for their worldly desires”. At this occasion, these
verses were revealed, in which, the behavior of the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) was appreciated, and the mutual relation between the
Heavenly Scriptures was caused to understand thoroughly.
Allaah
Almighty commands, “After the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David and the Bible
of Jesus (peace be upon Them), O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him)! We have revealed unto You Holy Qur’aan with the truth,
which is the last Scripture and which confirms all its former heavenly
Scriptures, and the entire necessary commands have been added in it for the
future generation of the mankind. So judge the strife between them according
to the truth, correct rules and regulations which Allaah Almighty has revealed, whether they are the Jews or the
Christians or someone else, and follow not their low desires deviating from the
truth, which has come unto You through Holy Qur’aan”.
It has been described that the
Holy Qur’aan is a watcher and a guard
over the entire Scriptures revealed before it. Really, the person, who thinks
in its Words, finds all useful affairs in it which are necessary for the
humankind. If any rule has been prevailed, but that is on the contrary to the
instructions of Holy Qur’aan, surely
that is a deadly poison for the human being. If that is not given up, then its
result would not be other than the destruction for the human being. It has been
proven from the world’s experience.
Shir-‘atan – (a divine law), shara’ and sharii-‘at are other forms of the same
word, these all words have the same meaning “a Divine Law of the Religion”.
Minhaa-jun - (a traced-out way), it is from nahaj,
which means “way, manner, fashion, observances, system etc.” Another word for
it is “Maz-hab or Tariiqah”, a particular way in the Law
of Divine. (Importance) usually the words “Diin,
Shara’ and Maz-hab have nearly
the same meaning, but actually the religion is a vast thing, but the Way, which
is determined by any Messenger (peace be upon Him) for its enforcement, is
called “Shara’”, which should be
spoken as ‘the Law of the Religion’. The wise people judge properly by
considering thoughtfully in the Shara’.
The collection of those thoughts is “Maz-hab”
(the Religious Sect) and that is also called Fiqah (the Theology).
Allaah Almighty describes, “We have empowered the mankind to dwell in the
world as they wish. They have involved themselves in various sects. Every sect
has made separate laws and ways for themselves and We have given them time,
because We have to observe that whosoever goes Straight Way from them”.
Then Allaah Almighty says, “If We willed, We would have made the entire
mankind one community, but kept them on the separate ways for their trial.
However, even then a particular sign of the Straight Path has been determined
i.e. all useful matters have been gathered in it for the entire mankind. So if
you wish to come towards the Straight Way, then jump up towards those useful
advices, which have been prescribed for the human being. This world is place of
a test, after death you all will be assembled before Allaah Almighty and He will expose the reality and the result of
your all the ways. The Holy Qur’aan
is the Scripture, which tells about the Straight Path and the Muslim nation has
been appointed to produce it before the world by acting upon its instructions”.
