Lesson
Hudan –
(Guidance), Knowledge of the Path, preparations and provisions for the Journey
and ability, strength and power to reach the destination. These all things are
included in the meanings of ‘Guidance’. Explanation of this word has passed in
the first Chapter “The Opening” (‘Al-Faatihah).
Muttaqiin –
This word is Plural of Muttaqii, which has been derived
from “Taqwaa”. Muttaqii is
the individual who fear God, it aims “the temperate, Abstinent and Sober, who
fears God in heart, who lives in abstinence and who performs his duty with
care. One incident of Sayyidina Abi bin Ka’b (May
Allah be pleased with him) is worth considering for explanation of the
word Taqwaa (Piety).
Once, Sayyidina ‘Umar (May Allah be
pleased with him) asked from Sayyidina Abi bin Ka’ab (May
Allah be pleased with him) about the meanings of Muttaqii (the
Pious). He replied, if you pass through a forest which is full of thorns and
shrubs, what will you do? He answered, “I shall fold up my clothes, so that the
skirt of my garment may not involve with thorns. Sayyidina Abi bin
Ka’ab (May Allah be pleased with him) said, “It is Taqwaa”.
Known that the Guidance of Holy Qur-’aan is
beneficial for those people who desire to reach their destination keeping
themselves safe and sound from every kind of thorns (evils and sins etc.) in
the (forest of) life of this world.
Two types of mankind are found. Some of them have
indifferent temperament. They are so thoughtless that without meditation, they
interrupt in every matter. Some are those who think before starting every work
carefully. It is obvious that the people; who live a careful life, they reap
advantage of Guidance. These are the people into whom, attribute of piety is
found. The Abstinence will reach at the top with the teachings of Holy Qur-’aan and
those virtues will be produced in sobers which have been described ahead.
This Noble Scripture, “The Holy Qur-’aan” has
been revealed for the guidance of the entire world. And it has been addressing
the entire people of the world, but practically, only those persons can reap
advantage from this Word who seek and need to know the Truth. Every work needs
some basic elements for beginning, for example; feet are necessary for walking,
eyes for looking, likewise; for attaining Guidance from Holy Qur-’aan, fear
of God is necessary in the hearts i.e. existence of the substance of care is
must. The sun shines upon the entire world. But those people, who have lost
their power of seeing, for them, its light is useless. If the earth is salty,
the rain will prove nothing on it. It is important for keeping the piety in our
hearts that we should settle our accounts at our own regularly. Once, Sayyidina Umar (May
Allah be pleased with him) said: “Prior to it, that anyone else calls for your
account, you must check your account yourself.
