Lesson
It was told to the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) in the previous verse that these people who pretend,
come unto you running, they desire to show you only apparently that they are
very obedient and servants of you, and obey properly your every command without
dispute. In fact, they are cunning. They have determined that they will never
partake in this Battle (the Battle of Tabuuk). But by bringing forward
excuses for pretense, they want from you to leave them, so that they should not
be humiliated by the people. Demanding leave in such situation is not work of
true people and believers. Strong Believers wait for such occasions, so that
they may be successful before Glorious and Almighty God by performing attentively
and deserve rewards and dignities on the Day of Resurrection.
Seeking excuses and requesting that they should be left behind before
moving for Jihad is a token of first class faithlessness, because the Belief
does not grant permission for it that, for being saved from the Command of
Allah Almighty, one seek excuses. In this verse, the same condition has been
explained.
It is commanded that those people who believe in God Almighty and in
the Day of Resurrection, they do love their lives and wealth never more than
obeying the Commands of Allah Almighty. They use to wait that when such occasion
comes and they sacrifice their lives and wealth in the Way of God Almighty.
It is the sign of Belief in Allah Almighty and in the Day of
Resurrection that one should think only about the pleasure of Allah Almighty;
leaving everything. And he should not consider it difficult to give up ease and
comfort of the world for the sake of rest and peace of the Day of Resurrection.
All of us should observe the condition of our Beliefs every time in accordance
with this standard.
If we long for the pleasures of this world and do not emphasize the Day
of Resurrection, then according to this verse, there is a fault in our Belief. We
are not satisfied with God Almighty and His Promises. We love more the money
and the splendor of this world. Our Lord! Save us from such thinking.
