(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Which verse; we recited in the
previous lesson, that is a treasure of invaluable information for the
Muslims, a key to success and such strategy and program; which can be acquired
only by some fortunate people, after deep study of many valuable books. To
build a bridge over the sea is the work of Holy Qur-‘aan only.
Its background is the land of
Arab, centre of which is Makkah. The people, who are inhabitants of
this place, have some internal qualities, which have been compressed by
misunderstandings and absurd traditions and customs. The Creator (of the world
and whatever exists in it,) desired to raise this nation so much high that it
should be a pattern for the entire human beings.
For this purpose, God Almighty
arranged a plan that He created such a perfect mankind from the people of this
place, Who was an example for them in the field of personal deeds. The people
of Arab saw, observed and examined Him {Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him)}. Wise people from the Arab nation were attracted by Him and
they noticed at a glance that “This Man is Perfect and the deliverance of
mankind is in His obedience”.
Subsequently, Preserver of the
worlds (God Almighty) sent down His Word on Him (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) and into It He assured Him: Indeed You are going on the
Right Path. Now it is Your duty that you should invite those people, who are
around you, toward the same Path. We have appointed You Our Prophet and
Messenger unto the people. Believe in it and produce before the people fearless
and unhesitatingly – fixing the signs and destinations of this Way by means of
Your deeds and sayings.
God’s Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) assumed His duty and began to manifest the
signs of the way. What was required to be understood, that was understood
already by the wise people. Then they decided wholeheartedly to act upon His
Instructions. Unfortunately, some people who were entangled in the
embarrassment of greed, carnal desires and lust, began to oppose Him (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and His followers.
In the beginning, they were
caused to understand and given opportunity that they should not oppose the
invitation, and let the people set free for accepting it. Method of living
together is obvious; we cause to know it more clearly. Its summary is that “Mutual
cooperation in necessities of life, fully abstinence from a breach of the
peace, and provide opportunity without let or hindrance for satisfying every
individual, whether he is close or otherwise.
They did not accept this
advice. Finally, the Muslims were commanded: Be separate from them. Fight them
without hesitation; who breach the peace because they are enemies of the
humanity. Engage yourselves always in the works of welfare and trying to do
good with all the people. Make no relationship heartily with any other than
good people and well-wishers. Make your secret-keeper only him whose inner and
outer aspects are clear and accurate.
You were commanded to tolerate
and bear till now. Purpose of it was to prepare you for the field of life. Now
your struggle and attempts will be examined and it is required to be known: How
much sincerity have you in your hearts for Allah Almighty, His Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and your venture-some friends
and how far you pay the right of their friendship?
War among the wicked people and
you will always continue, and you will be examined in this field until death.
If you came out with credit in this examination, then you will be blessed with
happiness and well-being in the both worlds.
