Lesson
In the previous verse, we were taught the method of
supplication in the Court of God Almighty for showing us the Straight Path.
Now, it has been explained about the Straight Path in this verse. The entire
matters of guidance and perfect knowledge have been signified in the Holy Qur-’aan. God
Almighty has sent down abundant practical patterns {Prophets and Messengers
(peace be upon Them)} with His Grace and Kindness for human beings, so that it
may be easy to follow them by keeping their chaste lives before us and choosing
the right path. Therefore, Allah Almighty taught us supplication that He should
run us on the foot-prints of His beloved Servants, whom He has favored.
Mention of the persons, who have been favored, exists in the
Verse # 4: 69 (Surah
‘an-Nisaa’). Translation of that verse is, “Whoso obeyed God and the
Messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favor, of the
Prophets and the Saints and the Martyrs and the Righteous. And what a best of
company are they indeed.”
The Prophets and The Messengers (peace
be upon Them) – are such chosen Persons, whom Allah Almighty has selected to
convey His message unto His human creature (mankind). There is no possibility
of mistake or error in the teachings of any Prophet (peace be upon Him). Prophet
remains innocent and protected from the sins. Many news of the lives of the
Prophets (peace be upon Them) have been described abundantly in the
Holy Qur’an.
Chieftain of the pure class of Prophets is the Last Messenger,
Muhammad (peace be upon Them). His all holy Habits and
Sayings have been protected in writing. Our success in this life and
deliverance on the Day of Resurrection is hidden in obeying the commands of the
last holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
Siddique –
(A Faithful Witness of the Truth). Siddique comes at the
second position after Prophets (peace be upon Them). These
people achieve very higher grades by following the teachings of The
Prophets (peace be upon Them), like Abu Bakr Siddique (Radi Allaahu ‘anhu), the
First Caliph of The Last Messenger (peace be upon Him). Siddique is
title of Joseph (peace be upon him) along with His Prophet-hood, and Abu Bakr (may
God be pleased with Him).
The Martyrs. Those venerable
individuals, who are influenced particularly by the teachings of
Prophets (peace be upon Them). They have full belief in the promises
of God and rewards (after death) of the good works. And they are inclined to
such stage that they fall a sacrifice. God Almighty bestows them the eternal
life.
The Righteous. Those servants of God
Almighty who try wholeheartedly to follow the Prophets (peace be
upon Them) with all possible ways. These all great people become example
for them who come after them.
God Almighty commands us in this verse: “The Straight and
Right Path is that, on which, the laureate persons went. The success is in
following their foot-steps”.
