Lesson
Islam is neither
the name of only some formal Divine worships like prayer, fasting, pilgrimage
and paying the poor-due, and nor the right of Islam is paid only by the preachers
admonishing overly large sermons and the public have to listen them, and then
both groups begin to do their own work. Contrary
to this, Islam is that “everyone should be engaged in performing good works every
time for the humankind sincerely and compassionately”.
You got through the circumstances of
past three nations in the previous lessons. It is to consider: What were evil
deeds of those people to which, the Messengers (peace be upon Them) sent unto
them, desired to remove? And what were the reasons due to which they did not
obey their Prophets (peace be upon Them) and Their disobedient suffered heavenly
and earthly disasters?
Mutual evil
among those three nations was that they used to consider that everything is
only own physical strength, wealth and property and to command other people. They
were unable to view above the rank and grandeur of this world. It was the
result that mighty people desired to keep everything under their control and
used to take hard work from the subordinates. Then they used to put them off
after paying them more or less but not according to their labor. And they used
to be addicted to pleasure with the earnings of their hard labor.
It was not
teaching of Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him). The caste had no value among His
people. There was no sign of stratification in humans. Entire human beings used
to fall prostrate before Allah Almighty accepting Him their Creator and Lord. And
they used to spend the production of their hard working according to their
capacity in accord with their necessities by sharing with one another.
When they
forgot Allah Almighty, then arbitrary gods took His place and the equation departed
with the same. Quarrels began along with the Schism. They began to enjoy by
seizing the needful things. The people were being treated according to the proverb
“Might is right”. Bold people became the high ranking and the simple were
pushed down.
The Messengers
(peace be upon Them) caused to understand them: Behold! The world is not always
an identical. Major destructive and deadly accidents may occur in it any time. You
cannot arrange to be saved during extremes life. The rich and the watchmen of
their splendor were induced by hearing these words and they said: What is the
dare of anyone that he may hurt us? We have power; equipage, obedient servants
and we are ready for every accident. We wish to see him who treat us with crooked
eye.
You observed:
How the people of high class were corrupted? If anyone heard the sayings of the
Messengers (peace be upon Them), he/she belonged to low class, poor and
insolvent community. The three Messengers (peace be upon Them) tried their best
that the rebellious people should abstain from their airs and get ready
collectively for escaping from forthcoming danger being brothers of one another
altogether.
Prophet Noah
(peace be upon Him) knew that a storm of water is coming very soon. Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him) was cautious
about the forthcoming dust storm. Prophet Salih
(peace be upon Him) was aware of coming the earthquake. But there was only one
form of being saved from those disasters, which was: the people suffering from arrogance
should give up their bragging. They should believe that Allah, the Most High; is
most Powerful and Omnipotent, and they entire should try collectively to obey
Him, so that being pleased He remove the wrath from them.
It is manifest
from these incidents that immoral people are seen involved in haughtiness and
they do not like to sit with the public or join the common people equally in
any matter, whenever any big calamity has to come. And accepting the religion
by poor people becomes cause of their distance from the religion.
