Besides Islam - Quran Chapter 3- 85 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-414) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 85 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-414) - درس قرآن

Besides Islam

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  وَمَنيَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ 85

85.  And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.
85..  Wa  many-yabtagi  gayral-‘Islaami  Diinan-  falany-yaqbala  minh.  Wa  huwa   fil-‘Aakhirati  minal-khaasiriin.               

Commentary
      
It has been described in this verse that if someone seeks any other religion except Islam, that will not be accepted by Allah Almighty. He will be punished in this world for such attempt as well as a loser in the Hereafter.

It is the fact that while the religion (Islam) has been revealed in its full form, then no liar, self-made or incomplete religion can be acceptable. If after rising the sun, someone kindles a lamp or searches the light of the stars, then it would be stupidity only.

The same likeness is fit for the religion. Now the time of any local religion, creed relating to breed and limited guidance has passed. Above all; each person should get light only from the last and conqueror of the world Messenger-hood and guidance, because it is the treasury of the entire illuminations, in which all the previous lights have been inserted.

The aim from it is to warn the Children of Israel that they should not seek as religion other than Islam. Moreover, they should get protection in its embrace. “You are bearer of which religion or you claim about which Scripture as yours, their principles and formulae are exactly according to Islam and the Islam has a little superiority over them”. The appearance of the Jewish and Christianity religions was local. Those religions were sent only for a particular nation and time to be adopted.

Islam is a conqueror of the world, perfect and collective religion. It comprehends all fields of life. Therefore, if you wish to become faithful to your religion, then you should embrace Islam. You will get deliverance and respect because of it. If you will remain standing opposite notwithstanding its comprehension, and seek any other religion except Islam, then surely it will be false, misled and self-made. Therefore, it will never be accepted. In addition, those people will get severe punishment of their infidelity and denial. They will find themselves among the losers on the Day of Resurrection.

This world is just like an examination hall and the retaliation of its deeds will be given in the Hereafter. The person who will sow the seeds of good acts with digging and labor in this world, he will get pleasure and comfort on the Day of Judgment, and who remained earning the worldly wealth and property due to his perverseness and spite, he will get there obdurate loss.

Therefore, we should not remain imprudent; we should adopt the path of goodness becoming farsighted. Otherwise, it is much difficult to escape from the loss of the Hereafter. Farsighted is he who tries for his better end, specifically such end which is of a permanent nature, neither that is temporary and nor for the time being.

Lineage of Prophets - Quran Chapter 3- 84 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-413) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 84 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-413) - درس قرآن

Lineage of Prophets

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  قُلْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَوَإِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ 84

84.  Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.          
84.  Qul  ‘aamannaa billaahi  wa  maaa ‘unzila ‘alaynaa  wa  maaa  ‘unzila  ‘alaaa ‘Ibraa-hiima  wa ‘Ismaa-‘iila  wa  ‘Is-haaqa  wa  Ya’-quuba  wal-‘Asbaati  wa  maa  ‘uutiya  Muusaa  wa  ‘Iisaa  wan-nabiyyuuna mir-Rabbihim.  Laa nufarriqu  bayna ‘ahadim-minhum.  Wa  nahnu  lahuu 
Muslimuun.              

Commentary
      
Now practical likeness of the Muslims has been shown to the People of the Scripture. The Jews and the Christians proved to be wrong, falsified and denied all other Prophets and heavenly Books except their own Prophets (peace be upon them) and heavenly Books (the Scripture). It has been described in this verse about the stance of the Muslims that those people who have entered in the nation of Last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and embraced Islam, they believe in the entire previous Prophets as sent by God Almighty (peace be upon them) without distinction and discrimination. They consider the ancient Holy Books as the Word of Allah Almighty and admit that, “We believe in Allah and understand that the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Him as His Apostles (peace be upon them).  

Having belief in Allah cannot be considered as true without obeying His commandments. We have faith in that Word of Allah Almighty which is revealed in the form of Holy Qur’an for us and we believe in the important lineage of the Prophets (peace be upon them). We also admit all those orders, which were revealed periodically unto Abraham, and his generation’s Prophets like Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob and from their tribes (peace be upon them). After them, we have also faith in the Divine’s Word, which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) in the form of Torah and Jesus (peace be upon him) and the Gospel. Near us these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent by Allah Almighty. They were honest and truthful. The Scripture, which was revealed upon them by Allah Almighty, was the Truth. We do not differentiate between them. We do not falsify to anyone of them. Because accusing any Prophet of falsehood will carry in the Infidelity, even if everyone else is considered as Prophet. We are real Muslims (the obedient of Allah Almighty).

Nahnu  lahuu  Muslimuun – (unto Him we have surrendered), the stance of the Muslims has been cleared in this sentence that every Muslim believes in the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) who were sent by Allah Almighty, were honest. The aim of these verses is to produce a pattern for following by the People of the Scripture that, “if you claim that you are Muslims then it is the Straight Path. You will reach the destination if you adopt it”.

Opposing the True Religion - Quran Chapter 3- 83 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-412) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 83 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-412) - درس قرآن

Opposing the True Religion

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  أَفَغَيْرَدِينِ ٱللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَلَهُۥٓ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ 83

83.  Seek they other than the religion of Allah, when unto Him submitheth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and  unto Him they will be returned.
83.  Afa-gayra  DiiNillaahi 
yab-guuna  wa  lahuuu  ‘aslama man  fis-samaa-waati  wal-‘arzi  taw-‘anw-wa  karhanw-wa  ‘ilayHi  yurja-‘uun.            

Commentary
      
DiiNillaahi – (the religion of Allah), this word has already been used earlier many times. Diin means fashion, custom, rites, observances and a way of life, for instance; that particular manner of thought and practice, which is foundation of solicitude and view for work, effort and action. Every community has its own specific ideologies. These ideologies fix his form of thinking. Then in accordance with them, it moulds its all-social manners of living, mode and civilization.

 The people of the Scripture had known the news regarding the period of the Last Messenger, Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) from their Heavenly Books. Their prophets (peace be upon them) had caused to hear them the glad tidings that one last prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will have to come, whose religion will be of international level. When Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came, they knew him well. But due to envy, malice and persistence, they disbelieved in him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), denied to embrace Islam and gave the lie.

In these conditions, the question arises that if these people are not ready to choose the most perfect and magnificent religion like Islam, then which religion would they like? Do they seek the religion which would be quite separate from the entire religions; bestowed by Allah Almighty, or they are desirous of any self invented religion? Even in the world, Islam (the religion of Peace and Obedience) remained and will remain always as the religion of Allah Almighty. That is to say; to bow own head before any Command, whenever it reaches by means of any Prophet or Messenger (peace be upon him). Today which religion is being presented by the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), is the same Islam. Deliverance is not possible without it. Real success cannot be acquired due to turning away from it. The humankind should never deny obeying the command of Allah Almighty for his own happiness and likeness, whether this Command is cause of happiness for him or he feels compulsion and helplessness in its execution.

Some creatures of Allah Almighty are those who accept pleasantly the Commands of Allah Almighty as the Angels (peace be upon them), the pious persons and worshipers, and some are those who believe by force as deniers of the truth, whereas, satisfaction of the hearts cannot be acquired without the religion of Allah Almighty.

These entire matters will be illuminated upon these deniers of the truth, when the entire human beings will be present before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment. All creations will have to return there inevitably. Each wise person should be ready before coming of that Day. If he remained disobedient and involved in the matters of this world only then which figure will he show there?

Faithless to one’s promise - Quran Chapter 3- 82 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-411) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 82 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-411) - درس قرآن

Faithless to one’s promise

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  فَمَن تَوَلَّىٰ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ 82

82.  Then whosoever after this shall turn away: they will be miscreants.        
82.  Faman-  ta-wallaa  ba’-da  zaalika  fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika  humul-faasiquun.          

Commentary
      
As it was mentioned in the previous lesson that Allah Almighty had made  covenant with the Prophets (peace be upon them) that they will believe in the last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and guide their nations also to believe in him. Since the Prophet (peace be upon him) exists innocent, so it cannot be thought about him that he would be faithless to his word. Therefore, the people about whom the suspicion has been revealed, they might be only out of the nation. Allah Almighty has commanded about them that they will be counted in the list of great disobedient.  

Allah Almighty had knowledge at the time of creation of the sons of Adam that the human being is immature from the side of his sense and puppet of the avarice. He keeps inclination to turn towards the evil. He does not try to be saved from becoming disbeliever due to greediness and covetousness. Therefore, it is necessary to guide him. Allah Almighty began to send His Prophets (peace be upon them) for the guidance of mankind. But it is evident that the Prophet (peace be upon him) never remains living in the world always. It was unavoidable to send the Prophets (peace be upon them) one after one.

In such a manner the Prophets (peace be upon them) used to come in the world for the guidance of the human beings. It was needful to establish fellowship between them for the success of this system. They would be taught the same kind of principles and formulae, bestowed same type of basic rules and regulations for rectitude and righteousness, and along with it; urge them to help one another. So that the prejudiced and stingy persons might not consider their religion as the last one, which was preached only by their Prophet (peace be upon him), and would not falsify the next coming Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Therefore, Allah Almighty made covenant with the entire Prophets (peace be upon them). Those all Prophets (peace be upon them) used to guide their nations on this topic according to their covenants.

In all, there were also Prophet Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). These both venerable persons informed their nations (the Jews and the Christians) about fair Divine inspiration of the apostleship of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him). But their nations ignored the sayings of these noble persons (peace be upon them), amended the Heavenly Scripture, put the difference in meanings of their verses and participated with exertion in each type of insurrection.    

When the Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was sent, they denied to believe in him after knowing and did not care the orders and guidance of their Prophets (peace be upon them). They tyrannized themselves becoming disbelievers and caused to enumerate in the disobedient. 

Faasiqun – (miscreant), those people who infringe the orders of Allah Almighty and are fixed as the criminals of disobedience.

Covenant by Prophets - Quran Chapter 3- 81 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-410) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 81 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-410) - درس قرآن

Covenant by Prophets

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 وَإِذْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ لَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُكُم مِّن كِتَٰبٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِۦ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥ قَالَ ءَأَقْرَرْتُمْوَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُمْ إِصْرِى قَالُوٓا۟ أَقْرَرْنَا قَالَ فَٱشْهَدُوا۟ وَأَنَا۠ مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ 81

81. When Allah made (His) covenant with the Prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge, and afterward there will come unto you a Messenger, confirming that which ye possess, ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.       
81.  wa  ‘iz  ‘akhazal-laahu

Commentary
      
The same fact has been repeated in these verses, that no Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches the people for his own devotion. He just teaches the worship of One God (Allah Almighty). Allah Almighty has made covenant with the Prophets (peace be upon them) also as well as the common people that when another prophet comes after anyone of you, definitely he will testify the former Prophets and their Scriptures. Therefore, it is important that the Prophet who has come earlier, he should believe in the authenticity of the Prophet (peace be upon them) who would come later and help him. If he does not find his time, then he should urge his nation perfectly that they should believe in the upcoming Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. To bequest the people like this is also included in helping him.

 It manifests from this verse that the covenant has been made with the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) that they would believe in the last Prophet of Allah Almighty, Muhammad, (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and help him. Because he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming in the last of all the Prophets and all of them (peace be upon them) had passed over before his arrival. Obviously, the entire prophets (peace be upon them) would have made their covenants with their people. Therefore,  Ali and Ibn-e-Abaas (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them) said, “This type of covenant was made with the Prophets” and the Holy Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said himself, “If Mosses (peace be upon him) were living today, there was no other chance for him without following me”. In addition, commanded, “When Jesus (peace be upon him) will come again, he will decide according to Holy Qur’aan and Sayings of your Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It has been described in this verse that Allah Almighty asked for more Emphasizing, “Do you affirm?” The entire Prophets (peace be upon them) represented that they agreed to. Allah Almighty ordered, “Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you”.

Instructions of the Messenger

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤْتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحُكْمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُوا۟عِبَادًا لِّى مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن كُونُوا۟ رَبَّٰنِيِّۦنَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ 79

وَلَا يَأْمُرَكُمْ أَن تَتَّخِذُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَوَٱلنَّبِيِّۦنَ أَرْبَابًا أَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ 80

79b.  but (what he said was): Be ye faithful servants of the Lord by virtue of your constant teaching of the Scripture and of your constant study thereof,         

80.  And he commanded you not that ye should take the angels and the Prophets for lords. Would he command you to disbelieve after ye had surrendered (to Allah)?       
79b.  wa laakin  kuunuu  Rabbaa-niyyiina  bimaa  kuntum  tu-‘allimuunal-Kitaaba  wa  bi-maa  kuntum  tadrusuun,          

80. Wa  laa  ya’-murakum  ‘an-tattakhizul-malaaa-‘ikata  wan-Nabiyyiina  ‘arbaabaa.  ‘Aya’-murukum-  bil-kufri  ba’-da  ‘iz  ‘antum-Muslimuun.           

Commentary
      
Rabbaa-niyyiina – (faithful servants of the Lord), this word has come out from RabbRabb means The Cherisher, The Provident; God. That is to say; That Entity, Who bestowed existence to the entire creation and universe, and granted steps for improvement and completion.

It has been corroborated more in this verse, which was described in the previous lesson, namely a Prophet upon whom Allah Almighty takes pity as much that He causes to reach him up to the rank of Prophet-hood, he (peace be upon him) will never invite the people to worship him instead of God Almighty. On the contrary, he (peace be upon him) brings the people in Islam causing them to release from infidelity and belief in a plurality of God Almighty. How can he (peace be upon him) teach them about infidelity?

Holy Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) will say even to the Jews, “O the People of the Scripture! Which religiousness you had earlier, there was a tradition among you to recite and teach the Scripture that have remained no more. You can get that very earlier perfection if stay by my side now, and become scholars, philosophers, jurists, devotees, pious persons and God worshippers again. This opportunity can be acquired now by means of reciting, learning and teaching the Holy Qur’an.”

The Messenger (peace be upon Him); sent by God Almighty, cannot preach the people to make the angels and prophets as their lords like the Christians who had appointed the Prophet Jesus and the angel Gabriel (peace be upon Them). Moreover, one group out of them had fixed Prophet Uzair ‘Ezra’ (peace be upon Him) and some Idolaters had settled the angels as their lords. When the angels and Prophets (peace be upon them) cannot be the partners in the Divinity, then in which count are idols of stones and the wood of crucifix?  

At the end Allah Almighty commanded, “How can it be so, that a Prophet who tries to make the people Rabbaa-nii (faithful servants of the Lord), the Muslim and Muwahhid (believing in one God), and when they embrace, then he (the prophet) (peace be upon Him) destroy all his labor and performance due to bringing them towards infidelity and belief in a plurality of God Almighty?” Like this Allah Almighty disclosed the innocence of the prophets (peace be upon Him) openly. He refuted those entire calumnies, which the Christians had charged falsely upon the prophets (peace be upon Him).

It is not possible for any Prophet - Quran Chapter 3- 79a (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-408) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 79a (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-408) - درس قرآن

It is not possible for any Prophet

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤْتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحُكْمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُوا۟عِبَادًا لِّى مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن كُونُوا۟ رَبَّٰنِيِّۦنَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ 79

79a.  It is not (possible) for any human being unto whom Allah had given the Scripture and Wisdom and the Prophet-hood that he should afterwards have said unto mankind: Be ye faithful of me instead of Allah,
79a.  Maa  kaana  li-basharin  ‘any-yu’-ti-ya-hUllaahul-Kitaa-ba  wal-Hukma  wan-Nubuw-wata  summa  yaquula  linnaasi  kuunuu  ‘ibaadallii  min-  duuNillaahi,

Commentary
      
‘Ibaadun – (faithful persons, slaves), its singular is ‘Abd. The words Ma’-buud (Worshipped), ‘ibaadat (worship) and ‘abuudiy-yat (service of God, devotion, adoration) have been derived from this word. ‘Abd means Slave and servant, that is to say; the person who is neither independent nor free, but is bound to act according to the instructions of his/her Lord and Ruler.

In the presence of the group from Syria (Najraan), some Christians said, “O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him): Do you wish that we should begin your worship as the Christians (Nazarenes) adored Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)?” Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) replied, “God forbid! That, if we worship someone other than Allah Almighty or invite others to do so. God Almighty has not sent us for this purpose”. Then the verse under discussion was revealed.

It means that the person, to whom Allah Almighty gives Scripture, Wisdom and decision power, and he (peace be upon him) acquires the position of Prophet-hood, so that by conveying the correct message of Allah Almighty to the people, he would make them attentive towards His servitude and loyalty. His duty can never be so to distract their attention from slavery of One God to make them his own slaves or of any other creature. If he does so; then it would mean that he was not capable for holding the position for which Allah Almighty sent him.

Any the government of the world thinks two things before appointing someone in a position of responsibility:

1.   Whether this person has the potency to understand the rules of the government and fulfill his duties or otherwise?

2.   To what extent he may be hoped to get implemented the orders of the government and to maintain loyalty of the people?

No king can appoint any such person as his viceroy or ambassador about whom there would be even a little doubt of rebellion. It may be understood from this likeness that when the worldly governments are so much cautious, then Allah Almighty, Who has perfect knowledge about every thing, how will He send a person as Messenger, who would become His rebel and despite of telling the people to worship  Allah Almighty as God, causes to be done servitude of himself?

This verse confutes the belief of Christians that Jesus (peace be upon him) caused to say himself the son of God and made himself a partner in His Godhood or caused to be prostrated unto himself.

How the Prophets and Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon them) can commit such clear error?

Deceiving by the People of the Scripture - Quran Chapter 3- 78 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-407) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 78 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-407) - درس قرآن

Deceiving by the People of the Scripture

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 وَإِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَفَرِيقًا يَلْوُۥنَ أَلْسِنَتَهُم بِٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِتَحْسَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَاهُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ 78

78.  And lo! there is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.
78.  Wa  ‘inna  minhum  lafarii-qany-yal-wuuna  ‘alsi-natahum  bil-Kitaabi  li-tahsabuuhu  minal-kitaabi  wa  maa huwa  minal-kitaab.  Wa  yaquuluuna  huwa  min  ‘indillaahi  wa  maa  huwa  min  ‘indillaah.  Wa  yaquu-luuna  ‘alallaahil-kaziba  wa  hum  ya’-lamuun.

Commentary
      
Allah Almighty has mentioned in this verse about religious embezzlement and dishonesty of the People of the Scripture. These people deceive the persons in their worldly matters as well as in the religious affairs. They amend the Words of Heavenly Books (the Scripture) and depose duly changed its meanings. They included some false self-invented descriptions in Torah and Gospel and excluded entire those verses from the Holy Books, which they considered apparently not fruitful for them.

Some people from them were those, who distorted the Scripture with their tongues, so that the listeners might be deceived and they might think that what they had said was from the Scripture. Their evil does not end here but they also used to claim that it entire was revealed from God Almighty, while it was not from the Scripture. How much hard heartedness would be more than it that they attributed all these false descriptions as from Allah, while they knew that it was not from Allah but their self-invented and they told a lie concerning Allah Almighty knowingly. For them surely there will be a painful doom.

It is known from this verse also that the children of Israel changed the Scripture of Allah Almighty intentionally for the purpose of only worldly greediness. Due to revenge of this kind of evils, they were involved in different types of difficulties and torments from Allah Almighty. Entire favors were snatched from them. Their biggest favor was prophet-hood, which was transferred to the children of Ishmael (Last Messenger, Muhammad – grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) from them. Now the Word of Allah Almighty is in our trust in the form of Holy Qur’an. We should preserve Its Words and Meanings completely and should not attribute any thing towards Allah Almighty, which is neither held in the Holy Qur’an nor is against the Will of Allah Almighty.

A painful doom for the greedy - Quran Chapter 3- 77 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-406) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 3- 77 (Pt-3, Stg-1) (L-406) - درس قرآن

A painful doom for the greedy

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 إِنَّٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَيْمَٰنِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَٰقَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْوَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 77

77.  Lo! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their oaths, they have no portion in the Hereafter and Allah will neither speak to them nor look upon them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow and theirs will be a painful doom.
77.  ‘Innallaziina  yash-ta-ruuna bi-‘ahDillaahi  wa  ‘aymaanihim  samanan-  qaliilan  ‘ulaaa-‘ika  laa  khalaaqa  lahum  fil-‘Aakhirati  wa  laa  yukallimu-humUllaahu  wa  laa  yanzuru  ‘ilayhim  Yaw-mal-Qiyaamati  wa  laa  yuzakkii-him  wa  lahum  ‘azaabun  ‘aliim.

Commentary
      
In these verses Allah Almighty has described His common Rule and the punishment which He has fixed for the covetous persons. That is to say, those persons who violate their oaths for worldly contemptible and a little wealth, and that they make witness to Allah Almighty for returning the deposit. They go against their promises, do neither keep their mutual matters correct and do nor remain firm on that covenant, which they made with Allah Almighty. Moreover, they change the Divine orders due to the avarice of rank and grandeur, and amend the Heavenly Scripture. Their end will be very bad.

1.   They will not be given any share of good in the Hereafter

2.   Allah Almighty will not talk to them on the Day of Resurrection.

3.   Most High God will not look upon them with the Eye of Mercy on the Last Day.

4.   Allah, Who is the Pure, will not make them grow and purify them from their sins. 

5.   And for them there will be a painful doom.

The Jews had promised with God Almighty and they were sworn that they would be the helpers and supporters of the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). But they turned away from their covenant and the above mentioned punishment is for them. It is learnt from this lesson that any person who will embezzle in a thing or property committed to the trust and care of him, he goes away from the faithfulness. He breaks the trust, violates the oaths of Allah Almighty and commits against his covenant. Its result will be that, which have been explained above. It would be understood about him that he has acquired the fruit of his struggles in the form of casual and temporary worldly things in the world. He will be kept deprived of the benefits on the Doomsday. The biggest favor on that Day will be the talk of Allah Almighty with His servants. But He will not speak with him on the Day of Resurrection.
