Lesson
In the previous verse, it was
described very clearly to the disbelievers: Some punishment against your
sedition has been caused to taste you in the world. Then if you abstained from
your wickedness, then you will dwell in the world with ease for some period.
But if you did not refrain from evil deeds, then the same punishment is ready
for you again. And at the end, the judgment was given that God Almighty is with
the Believers. Now in this verse, the Believers have been commanded that; what
their behavior should be, so that they may be deserving of this favor of Allah
Almighty and He is their Protecting Friend and Supporter.
It is commanded: Behold O Believers!
You should obey Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him). Revelations of God Almighty are recited before you day and
night, and you hear them. You should not do so – that you turn away after
hearing them. There are many things in the world which want to make you
careless from Allah Almighty and draw your attention towards themselves. Being
taken in their deception, you should not turn your faces from these
Revelations, because you cannot get guidance from anywhere save them. Be
attentive! Many such nations have passed before you, even some such people
exist among you at this time who say verbally after hearing the Verses of Holy Qur’an and Sayings (Ahaadith) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him); that they heard. But in fact their hearts are ready every time to go
opposite. You should never be like them. They hear but are deaf. They have made
up their mind that they will never follow the guidance and the prescribed path
of Islam. And indeed they will hear the verses of holy Qur’an and Sayings (Ahaadith)
of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) but commit
against Them. These people accept verbally that they hear but do not listen to
with attention. Therefore; their hearing and not hearing is equal. You should
not be as such.
This Section is full of precious
advice and guidance with effect from the beginning to the end. If the Muslims
obey and act upon These Commands wholeheartedly which have been described in
this Section, they can never be disgraced and low in the world and nor can be
involved in the torment of the Hereafter. This is such costly treasure;
possessors of which can neither be ever necessitous of any other and nor
shoe-bearers.
