Review of Chapter Eight - (3)
Chapter ‘Anfaal (Spoils
of War) – Surah – 8)
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Often it happened; that
Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) used
to perform a work at His own and by receiving any good opinion from other
Muslims, and then the Revelation fixed it as lawful for such condition, but at
any other occasion, it was commanded by keeping in view the opportunity; that
it should be done according to the perfect Law, as well as; the first
Revelation was preserved also, so that; if such first condition of occasion
appears again, then it should be done as it was done earlier. From the verses
of this Chapter it has been explained.
Therefore, the Muslims left the
captives of the Battle of Badr after mutual opinion and
receiving money. This behavior was determined lawful for that particular
situation in this Surah. But after that; a perfect Law was
introduced about it that, now acting according to it and by thinking about it,
a permanent procedure comes out for the Muslims for ever, abiding by which,
many disputes can be resolved.
Coming down of any new
Revelation is quite impossible at this time. However, the old Revelations are
safe (God be praised) in the form of Holy Qur’an and
fortunately; the decisions of God’s Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) and His True Successors, which They filed during different
occasions; exist before us in the form of Ahaadith (Sayings)
of the last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him).
Like this, we possess the
religious judgments and decrees (Fataawaa) in heaps, which were issued
by the religious Scholars from time to time according to the Principles and
which had been derived from the above mentioned sources (in the light of Qur’an and Hadith).
The Light of God’s Revelations is conspicuous in all of Them. The Path is the
same even now that we should decide our ongoing controversies ourselves
thoughtfully and by mutual consultation. And then we should examine our
decision in the light of the Books of Ahaadith and Sayings of
the religious Directors. If it tallies with Them then we should act upon it.
The only difference is that at
first; the Revelation used to confirm or infirm it directly, whereas nowadays,
Holy Qur’an, Hadith and Theology (Fiqah)
are its Successors. If the evidence regarding any matter is not found into
them, then the way of council and judgment is open, and its principles have
been fixed with effect from the centuries. Whichever decision we shall make
with sincerity and for God’s sake, that will be practicable, on the condition;
that is not against the spirit of Holy Qur’an and Sayings of
the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
At the end of the Chapter,
there is a description in respect of Immigrants, inhabitants (Muhajiriin and Ansaar of Madinah)
and those Muslims who had not yet immigrated. Moreover, when during 2 AH,
this Surah was revealed; maximum relationships could be
established on temporary basis. But when Makkah was conquered,
then necessity of a permanent Center was felt. For this purpose, which
preparation was required, that has been described in the next Chapter.
