Commentary
In this holy verse, Allah
Almighty has described about His those glorious slaves who have been treated
with the special kindness.
1. ‘An-Nabiy-yiina - It is
Plural of Nabii. Nabii means Prophet (peace be upon Him).
Those Selected Servants of Allah Almighty, Who were sent in the world to
deliver the Message of Allah Almighty to the human beings. This Message was
sent unto the Prophets (peace be upon them) by Allah Almighty through an Angel
(peace be upon Him), they used to feel the arrival of the Angel and transmit
the Message to the humankind without any reduction or increase in it.
2. ‘As-Siddii-qiina - (the
saints), plural of Siddiiq, which means ‘a faithful witness of the
truth’. It is also a title of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) and Abu
Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) – the companion of last Messenger
of Allah Almighty, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). ‘As-Siddii-qiina are
those people, whose hearts accept the Messages of the Prophets as true
naturally. They do not need any reason or proof.
3. ‘Ash-Shuha-daaa-‘a - (the
martyrs), it is plural of Shahiid, these are the people, who are
ready every time to sacrifice their lives upon the commands of Prophets (peace
be upon them) and produce evidence of the truth with their own blood.
4. ‘As-Saalihiina -
(the righteous people), it is plural of Saalih. These are such
persons, whose nature is good innately and who have purified their souls and
bodies from the evils, licentiousness, lewdness and impurities.
These four kinds of persons are
excellent out of the entire human beings. Allah Almighty has bestowed them
superiority and eminence upon all other people and comforted them with His
Bounty.
The classification of their
dignities is the same as it has been kept in the verse. That is to say, the
Messengers and the Prophets (peace be upon them) have the highest ranks among
the human beings. Junior to them is the degree of ‘As-Siddii-qiin. Then
the rank of ‘Ash-Shuha-daaa-‘a - (the martyrs) comes after
them. The last degree in this category is ‘As-Saalihiina - (the
righteous people). These all persons are replete with the blessings, nobility
and mercy of Allah Almighty according to their ranks. It has already been
mentioned earlier that the human beings are not equal in accordance with their
ability and qualifications. Excellent out of the remaining people (excluding the
above-mentioned persons) are those, who remain busy in obedience of Allah
Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
Fellow-ship of the Prophets (peace be upon them), the Saints, the Martyrs and
the Righteous (may Allah be agreed upon them) will also become their fortune
according to their degree, qualification and ability. It does not aim that they
will become exactly like them, however, they will be counted into their
servants and their relationship will be connected with them. It is a very big
kindness that this relationship has been named as “a best of company”.
Otherwise, it is a very greatness of luck too to be accepted as their servants.
We pray in our each prayer that
we should be guided to go on the Straight Path, the Path of those who have been
described above. Surah ‘Al-Faatihah (Chapter -1 “the Opening”)
teaches us the lesson, “Show us the Straight Path, the Path of those whom Thou
hast favoured”, “Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who
go astray”. Company of these great people will be in those peoples’ luck, who
will obey Allah Almighty and follow His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him).
