Commentary
Tilka ‘ummatun – (Those are
a people, a religious sect), it indicates towards the Ancestors of the Children
of Israel, of whom they used to get names and used to claim as their followers,
although this claim of theirs was wrong. These astray and unlucky people had no
relation with those great respectable Prophets (peace be upon Them) except
their names.
The Children of Israel were much
proud that they were from the lineage of Prophets (peace be upon Them). So they
had fabricate this false faith themselves that there is no need of personal
good acts. Being from the Children of the Prophets (peace be upon Them) is
sufficient for freedom from the Hell. They thought that God Almighty transfers
the good acts of father towards his children with His blessing. Due to this false
faith, they had become careless entirely from doing good acts, and had involved
in all kinds of errors, evil doings and disobedience.
Holy Qur’an cut the root of their false belief and
commanded about the law of God Almighty that every individual and group will
get; what he has earned himself. Neither the good act of someone else reaches
the other nor will anyone be answerable for evil-deeds of
others. Relationship of the Ancestors will neither be useful without one’s
personal effort and nor freedom can be obtained. There is a great lesson for
them; who have been fallen into the trap of such misunderstanding: Although, we
have not done good acts, even then the good acts of our Ancestors will be
useful for us, and our this world and the Hereafter will be arranged. Holy Qur’an explains that you cannot reap advantage
from good acts of your Ancestors. You should take care yourself and follow
Them. Their lives are roll model of good acts for you. By following them, you
will be able to do well.
Out of us, if anybody will be involved in
this misunderstanding that greatness of good birth or relation with any pious
person may be sufficient for him then he should throw out this thought from his
mind. Only one’s personal deeds will be useful before Allah Almighty. The
entire human beings will be responsible for their own duties and
responsibilities.
