Lesson
Which verse; we recited in the
previous lesson, that is a treasure of invaluable information for the
Muslims, a key to success and such strategy and program; which can be acquired
only by some fortunate people after deep study of many valuable books. To build
a bridge over the sea is the work of Holy Qur-‘aan
only.
Its background is the land of Arab, centre of which is Makkah. The people, who are inhabitants
of this place, have some internal qualities, which have been compressed by misunderstandings
and absurd traditions and customs. The Creator (of the world and whatever
exists in it,) desired to raise this nation so much high that it should be a
pattern for the entire human beings.
For this purpose, God Almighty arranged a plan that He
created such a perfect mankind from the people of this place, Who was an
example for them in the field of personal deeds. The people of Arab saw, observed
and examined Him {Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)}. Wise
people from the Arab nation were attracted by Him and they noticed at a glance
that “This Man is Perfect and the salvation of mankind is in His obedience”.
Subsequently, Preserver of the worlds (God Almighty) sent
down His Word on Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and into
It He assured Him: Indeed You are going on the Right Path. Now it is Your duty
that you should invite those people, who are around you, toward the same Path.
We have appointed You Our Prophet and Messenger unto the people. Believe in it
and produce before the people fearless and unhesitatingly – fixing the signs and
destinations of this Way by means of Your deeds and sayings.
God’s Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) assumed His duty and began to manifest the signs of the way. What was
required to be understood, that was understood already by the wise people. Then
they decided wholeheartedly to act upon His Instructions. Unfortunately, some
people who were entangled in the embarrassment of greed, carnal desires and
lust, began to oppose Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and
His followers.
In the beginning, they were caused to understand and
given opportunity that they should not oppose the invitation, and let the
people set free for accepting it. Method of living together is obvious; we
cause to know it more clearly. Its summary is that “Mutual cooperation in
necessities of life, fully abstinence from a breach of the peace, and provide
opportunity without let or hindrance for satisfying every individual, whether
he is close or otherwise.
They did not accept this advice. Finally, the Muslims
were commanded: Be separate from them. Fight them without hesitation; who
breach the peace because they are enemies of the humanity. Engage yourselves
always in the works of welfare and trying to do good with all the people. Make no
relationship heartily with any other than good people and well-wishers. Make your
secret-keeper only him whose inner and outer aspects are clear and accurate.
You were commanded to tolerate and bear till now. Purpose
of it was to prepare you for the field of life. Now your struggle and attempts
will be examined and it is required to be known: How much sincerity have you in
your hearts for Allah Almighty, His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) and your venture-some friends and how far you pay the right
of their friendship?
War among the wicked people and you will always continue,
and you will be examined in this field until death. If you came out with credit
in this examination, then you will be blessed with happiness and well-being in
the both worlds.
