Let’s consider thoughtfully and
ascertain once again in this lesson on the verses, we discussed in the previous
lesson. A rule has been described in the verses, which can never be broken.
That rule is: the consequence of the oppressor will never be good. The word
“wrongdoer” (tyrant) is very famous. He is called a wrongdoer, who tyrannizes.
Tyranny means either to do such an act or to say such words, which hurt either
oneself or someone else, or it lets other people to make wrong assumptions
about anyone. The meaning of “the consequence will never be good” is that the
tyrant is disgraced and humiliated even in the world, and whether he dwells in
a good state for a few days in the beginning, but at last, he is ruined and
thrown away. If he is saved in the world someway, after death he will undergo
severe torment and restlessness. He dies in such a condition that the people
begin to hate him.
The worst form of the tyranny
is that someone commits such an act or talks in such manner, due to which
either he becomes an arrogant of Allah Almighty, or which causes to
spread false notions about Allah Almighty among the people, or which
becomes cause of contempt in respect of either any Prophet/Messenger (peace be
upon Him), or Holy Qur’aan, or Islam. In the group of tyranny –
ascribing plurality to Allah Almighty, claim of Prophet-hood after
the last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him),
against the principles of Islam interpretation of Holy Qur’aan as
one’s mind desires, denial of Hadith {Sayings of the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)} and all matters of this type
come.
In the beginning of Islam, the
tyranny was customary in two forms i.e. calling the Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) a liar and considering the Holy Qur’aan a
collection of some common tales and stories, and not giving any importance to
Its Commands. In the previous lesson, these both forms of wrongdoing were
discussed, though it is the Cause of this verse’s Revelation.
The Formula of this verse will
be applied during every era for every form of tyranny. Every tyrant will suffer
from the same punishment, which has been described in this verse. The form of
decision will also be the same, which has been cleared here. That is to say;
whosoever will be disgraced and failed at the end, will be a tyrant, and
whosoever will be rewarded and succeeded, will be known that he was not a
tyrant.
The Muslims should reconsider
their condition after reciting this verse, “Wherever are they not involved in
any form of tyranny? Whether are they not saying such words or doing such acts
due to which they would have been disgracing either Allah Almighty,
or His Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), or Holy Qur’aan,
or Islam? (Allaah forbid) Wherever our deeds not as are, there is a
fear of insult in respect of all above? If it is true, then we are also
wrongdoers and greater tyrants, and if the prescribed punishment of tyrants is
not applied on us today, then there is a threat of it tomorrow (on the Day of
Resurrection).
That has never been proved as
wrong, which the Holy Qir’aan has commanded. There is no need
of going in detail, we should think, confessing and being ashamed of our faults
that if a Muslim is either a drunkard, gambler, thief, robber, fornicator,
dishonest, rascal, greedy of wealth, killer, immoral, arrogant or fond of
talking bawdy, then at least, is he not insulting and defaming Islam?
