Holy Qur’an has
put before us the circumstances of the ancient people, not as successive
history or complete stories, but at different occasions, those circumstances
have been described again and again in different ways; from which, we may learn
something and any new useful matter may be known for dwelling. Till this time,
the circumstances of Prophet Adam, Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot, Shoaib and
Moses (peace be upon Them) have been explained in this Chapter, and in every
incident; many useful things exist for us. Particularly, we should learn much
from the circumstance of the Children of Israel. These people were present at
that time; when foundation of human civilization was being laid in that period.
They were being taught “how to live straight forward and peacefully, and those
evils were being brought to fore, in which germs of human destruction were
hidden.
There
is no doubt in this matter that if the Children of Israel had obeyed the
Commands of Torah with true heart, then this dangerous map of the world would
not have existed, which, we have been looking now. Entire responsibility of
putting the human being on wrong path is on the same nation, who is called
Israelite, the Children of Israel or the Jews. The Holy Qur’an has
placed their necessary circumstances in front of us opened. First aim from it
is to induce the Jews unto a sense of their responsibility, along with it, it
is a stress for us that if they do not accept, you should abstain absolutely
from their inhumanity acts, so that; you may produce for the mankind; correct
way of living in this world, and may show yourselves as being an example of it.
And which responsibility was given to the Jews but they could not perform, now
you should complete it and prove yourself worthy of the title of “A Good
Nation”.
In
the previous lessons, attention was drawn to the invaluable benefits from time
to time, which we can acquire from the circumstances of the Children of Israel.
At this stage, while the circumstances of the Children of Israel have ended in
this Chapter, we should pay attention to those particular matters due to which,
the Children of Israel were deprived of being leaders of the mankind. And
presently, they have no work to do in the world save spreading the temptation
and destruction of the humanity:
They
considered that only the life of this world is everything. And despite losing
the power of sovereignty, they remained in this effort that
helter shelter, they should obtain the mastery and honor over others.
The result of which was nothing except that they spread confusion and disorder.
Collecting
the wealth and property and hoarding it with themselves had become their habit,
and they engaged in the effort of making and keeping other people as their necessitous.
It was the result that two permanent classes were in existence into them i.e.
the rich and the poor. Those two classes will remain existent always and the
rich will press the poor.
Nowadays,
which tension has been spreading among the capitalists and the laborers in the
world and both classes have been trying to choke each other, and have been
frightening to one another with atomic weapons, these entire are the results of
the Jewish mindset.
All
these things are necessary for us to avoid. We should not be involved in mutual
antagonism like the Jews, but should sow the seed of co-operation, alliance and
unity among ourselves; keeping the Islamic principle of equation and human
brotherhood in front of us.
Holy Qur’an does not tell the history of the
nations but describes the science of the history that “What can be learnt from
the life of the nations”?
