Commentary
This verse is soul of Islamic
political and general administrative system and key to fundamental principles
of the country. A very important matter has been described in this verse. That
is to say, who should be obeyed by the mankind in the matters of his/her life
and heed the bidding of whom?
It is the miracle of the Word
of Allah Almighty to narrate too much important and original subject in one
sentence only. If we keep the order of this sentence in sight, then a lot of
misapprehensions and depravities are dispelled, and those bondage, which human
beings have adhered upon themselves, are broken.
It is being ordered: Yaaa-‘ayyu-hallaziina
‘aa-manuuu – (O ye who believe)!
- ‘Atii-‘Ullaaha (Obey Allah)
- wa
‘atii-‘ur-Rasuula (and obey the Messenger)
- wa
‘ulil-‘amri min-kum (and those of you who are in
authority)
Obedience of Allah Almighty
will be through the Law, He revealed. He informed the humankind in every time
about His Will. The person, who obeyed His instructions, succeeded and obtained
deliverance.
Obedience of the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) will be in the form of
following His actions, sayings and motions. The Prophets and Messengers (peace
be upon them) were sent in each dwelling and village. After them, Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came in the world as the last
Messenger (Khatamul-Mursaliin). The human being, who will follow the
Comely Model Role(‘Uswatun Hasanah) of the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), he/she will be fortunate,
successful and beloved of Allah Almighty.
Obedience of ‘ulil-‘amr (those
of you who are in authority) will be done by means of acting upon the laws and
guidance issued by the ruler, provided that he is from the Muslims. The
condition of min-kum (those of you) has discharged the Muslims
from obedience of any transgressor, mischievous or rebel of Allah Almighty and
His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Neither any
such ruler will be paid homage, who does not believe in Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), nor it will be
yielded in such a matter, which is against the Will of Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), and nor such law
will be respected, which is against the Laws of Allah Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
Muslim doctors of law and
religion opposed very oppressive and tyrant kings openly and did not bow their
heads before their non-Islamic rules and regulations. Resultant they suffered
countless afflictions.
