Lesson
‘Any-ya’-muruu – (they settle), the origin of this word is ‘imaaratun
and ‘umuraanun, which means “to make a place habitable and populous”. It
also aims “to build a house”. Both meanings can be used for the word ta’-miir,
which has been derived from the same word.
Habitat – (are wasted), this word has been derived from habata,
which means “in vain, to be damaged, to be of no avail”.
It has been described in this
verse that the idolaters of Makkah, who had possessed the Square
Building and the Inviolable Place of Worship around it, they were not able to
look after and protect Masjidil-Haraam. They have become Its guards for
the object that they wanted their awe and influence in the Arab because the
people of Arab used to respect the Square Building and the Inviolable Place of
Worship at Makkah. It was the reason that they used to deal the guardians
of this place with great respect.
It is commanded that the
idolaters do not have any right to be guardians and protectors of the places of
worship. Masjidil-Haraam has been constructed in Makkah on the
name of Allah Almighty. But they have made it an idol-temple (erected many
idols everywhere in the Inviolable Place of Worship), officiate here as priests
and live upon the offerings made to the idols, whereas, the Mosques (Masaajid)
are built only for the worship of Allah Almighty, one God. Those people who
establish the tradition of the worship of idols in the places of God’s worship,
they have been saying the people openly: We disbelieve in one God. Their deeds
have been giving evidence of their infidelity.
Masjid should
be used only for the pure worship of Allah Almighty and everyone should bow and
prostrate before Him into It. It is totally unbecoming act that a place has
been specified for the worship of God Almighty, and after some period the
idolaters get possession of such place. They will gain no fruit whether they
serve as much as they may, look after and be guardians of Masaajid
(Mosques), because when actual demand is not fulfilled from the Masjid;
then it is not useful to look after such kind of Masjid. It is the
reason that their entire services are useless. They will burn continuously in
the Fire of Hell for ever due to their infidelity.
