Commentary
‘Az-zaalliin – (the Ignorant)
this word is plural of Zaal which commonly means “the astray
people”. But it is used for the indolent; careless and negligent also.
Zikr means
remembrance, recitation, memory; prayer; talk and mention. Here it means the
worship of Allah Almighty.
It has been told in
this verse: Remember and worship God Almighty in the ways which have been
commanded by His Last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him). It is the most serious sin “to invent the methods of worship at
one’s own and to establish the new forms, ignoring the Sayings of the Prophet”
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). It remained heavy attack of
Satan to mislead the world and the people of the world that he puts them into
disorder from the Straight Path to self-invented ways. The people were involved
in uncountable customs, traditions and false beliefs even during the period of
Ignorance. They used to suppose that their self-invented particular methods may
be the cause of closeness to God Almighty. But this verse of Holy Qur’an has
refuted completely these depravities and misunderstandings.
Holy Qur’an has
cleared by using the word ‘Az-zaalliin that till the
time; the mankind will not get guidance from the Light; sent by Allah Almighty,
make not His Revelation one’s own torch of the path and doesn’t settle His
revealed Teachings as the foundation of one’s own actions, he will remain
ignorant and astray. Whether he tries to seek any path with his full endeavor,
invents many ways of worship of various sort, and thinks separate forms of
prayers, but all these things will bring him unto straying. The real Path is
only one, which is commanded by God Almighty. So, every self-made plan by any
individual’s will is false and acting upon it will bring towards the deviation.
Holy Qur’an is
the best Guide to reach the destination. The Words mentioned in This Holy Book
are commanded by God Almighty Who is the Wise, the Discerning, the Present, the
Inspector, the Mild, the Philosopher, the Creator and the Lord Almighty. He
knows well our necessities, for it; He shows us the Pathway with His Vast
knowledge, which is Easy and Straight. We should believe in that Path as
reliable; and leave all other manners invented by the human beings.
