Lessons from Suratul-
‘Anfaal have been over. Before proceeding forth, we should have to
review and think: What does it teach us?
It is the actual aim of Islam
that the entire human beings of the world should be gathered in one community
and established their fundamental thoughts at one point. The life of Muhammad,
Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
in Makkah, His conduct with the people and Chapters of Holy Qur’an;
revealed in Makkah (all) support the same thing. In the terms
of circumstances, His life in Makkah was not eminent from the
life of common people. His employments and engagements for getting the
necessities of life were the same as of the people of that period; for example;
labor, working, grazing the cattle or trade etc.
However, He (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) behaved the people in such a way which can be of any
most noble person of the world. Meeting every individual with open heart,
neither deceiving and nor cheating anyone, taking care of the relatives,
looking after the poor, widows and orphans, helping those who are in trouble,
control over wishes, being a human; regard of self-respect, dignity and honor
in all conditions, trying to fix the dignity of mankind by understanding it
well, to hate those works which are against the humanity, not to bow humbly
before anything of the world; and consider that the human being is superior to
all creatures and that: the head can be bowed before Him only Who is most
Superior to the human being (The Creator of the entire universe), trust and good-well
– these all things had taken place in His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) nature. And such habits which have been settled down in the heart;
are called Khulq (philanthropy, civility and
hospitality). Khulq can be good as well as bad also. But His
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) all manners were best. When
inspiration of Holy Qur’an began, it supported these good
habits too; which had become His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) Khulq. And the truth is that mutual misunderstanding of the
human beings can be removed by adopting these habits. The people of Makkah accepted
that He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was at the highest
stage in the terms of Khulq.
Anyhow, the people of Makkah could
not agree upon the teachings of Holy Qur’an, and they sacrificed
the benefits of common people upon their a little personal benefit. It is
understandable here that human religion is not filled in with force, but it
arises from within the mankind. A perfect man runs upon that way naturally
which has been fixed for the humankind according to his anatomy. The Messenger
of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) chose that way
Himself from His child-hood, which was in accordance with the human religion.
Therefore, the religion is the
same, which Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) produced before the world by means of His habits, sayings and deeds,
as though; He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) had already
chosen the way of religion on His own accord before the revelation of
Holy Qur’an and hated those things which are against the human
religion.
When His (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) religion became matured, manners were
manifested clearly and all people gave evidence that He was the best mankind,
then revelation of Holy Qur’an was begun, and that Path on
which Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was going; and
those manners which He had adopted, Holy Qur’an saved them in
words for ever, and the Way of His deeds was clarified and determined. And the
seal of certification was affixed on His morals and habits.
It is proved by the verse of
Holy Qur’an “’Innaka la-‘alaa khuluqin
‘aziim (You are found on a very brilliant philanthropy). And it is
known also from His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Saying that
someone asked from Aishah (may God be pleased with Her):
Describe something about the Khulq of the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). She (may God be pleased with Her)
answered: His (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Khulq is
Holy Qur’an. And it is proved from the verse ‘Atii-‘Ullaaha
wa ‘atii-‘ur-Rasuula and many other verses of Holy Qur’an like
this; that Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) was already firm on the religion and the human philanthropy (Khulq).
The Word of God Almighty attested and certified it, and strengthened His Belief
(Iman) and commanded: Organize your deeds now from this Scripture. That
Path on which You are going, is Straight and True.
