Lesson
‘Itta-bi’ –
(Follow that), it is the tense of command from the word ‘itti-baaa’,
which has been derived from taba’. Taba’ means “to follow or go
on someone’s footsteps”. ‘itti-baaa’ has also the same meanings “to move
on any person’s order or manner”. ‘A’-riz – (turn away), it is also tense of command, which
is made from ‘a’-raaz. ‘A’-raaz has been derived from ‘arz,
which means “aloof, edge, boundary”. Actually ‘a’-raaz means “to keep
aloof”. If anyone turns away from someone else, that also manifests that the
first person has withdrawn from the other. So it has been translated as “Turn
away” and it is in common use in the same meanings.
It was directed in the previous
verse: We have sent down the Revelations of Holy Quran to open the mankind’s
internal eyes and he has been admonished by them with various ways. Even then,
some people will say that these verses have not been revealed by Allah
Almighty. This subject has been explained in this verse more clearly and the
phraseology has been changed.
Good God! The conjugation has been
mentioned in these verses also as well as its example in the same verses. The
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is being commanded
that, whenever they argue: “You have studied, learned from someone and written
the Quran yourself” then you should reply them: It is the fact that this Quran
is the Scripture of Allah Almighty, Who is your and our Lord. He has inspired
It upon His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
There is no Worshipped save Him. There is none before whom one’s humbleness is
disclosed but Him. There is none in front of whom; the human being has to stand
with tied hands like slaves except Allah, before Whom bow own forehead on the
ground with humble save Him, sit respectfully like humiliated persons, request
for something, spread own hands for begging from the Lord Almighty, or
recognize that none has any power to profit or loss except Him.
It is revealed that this way of
yours is separate from those people who ascribe partners unto Allah, ask them
for their desires and comprehend that they can give us or take from us
something also. These people are idolaters. You should withdraw from them, do
not have any relationship with them and turn away from them, and take it as “There
is no established order in the Court of Allah to compel any human being
forcibly to adopt the straight path”. God Almighty has determined with His Knowledge
and Wisdom, this manner for the mankind that, He sent His Prophets and
Messengers (peace be upon Them), inspired His Scripture, put His entire
commands openly in the Scripture, and the human being has been invested with
power to use his own sense, listen to the Word (the Scripture) of Allah Almighty,
acquire the knowledge from His Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them) to
act upon the commands, mentioned in the Holy Book of God Almighty, and then go
on that way with own decisions and authority.
Had Allah willed, the entire human
being had been the Muslims forcibly and they had not been idolaters. But He did
not do so.
