Lesson
It was commanded in the first verse
of this Chapter: Keep your duty to Allah Almighty, do not quarrel with one
another and adjust the matters of your difference, and obey the Commands of
Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him), if you say yourselves true Believers, because; if you are obedient of
Allah Almighty then, there will be no chance of any dispute. It is understood
that it is the only way to abolish the disputes mutually that all of you bow their
heads before One God Almighty.
Allah Almighty commanded in the
second verse that when you say yourselves believers then you have to abide by
one way. Saying only; by oneself; a believer; is not sufficient but there is a need
of producing the signs of Belief into oneself. Then, those signs were
described, detail of which, we have discussed in the previous lesson.
In this verse, the reward and
remuneration, which Allah Almighty has fixed for the believers, have been
described that they, not only say with their tongues; themselves believers, but
try to adopt the habits and qualities like believers too.
It is commanded that only those
people are true believers who have these five characteristics (which were
discussed in the previous lesson). Notwithstanding that everyone says oneself a
believer, none is happy from the title of infidel for oneself, but one will
gain one’s end at that time when one will prove by one’s deeds and manners that
verily one is Believer.
For such people are higher grades of
honor with Allah Almighty. According to their grades, God Almighty will bestow
to them His propinquity and closeness. Their ordinary mistakes will be
forgiven. And they will be provided all kinds of provisions for eating,
drinking and dwelling with ease and comfort; so that they live happy in the
blessings of God Almighty always. And they will find all luxurious things, while
residing with respect in their dwelling places.
The intelligent people have
concluded from these verses that acceptance (by tongue) of God Almighty, the last
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Day of
Resurrection is sufficient for entering into Islamic Community. The individual
who admits it and adopts the way of living with Muslims, entered in Islam, and
then his/her safety and help is overall responsibility of all Muslims.
Then he/she should instill the truth
of Belief and try to adopt those habits wholeheartedly, which were discussed in
the previous lesson.
