Commentary
In the previous verse, it was
planned that the Religion of Truth must prevail over all religions, that the
Believers should strive heartily in fulfilling the plan of God Almighty. It has
been described in this verse that the Believers must remain vigilant about
“which ways can be used to stop the prevalence of the Religion of Truth”? Which
stoppages exist in the Path of the Religion? Removing those hindrances is the
duty of the Believers. The Religion of Truth will be lightened automatically.
These hindrances had been working in the previous nations, that is to say; the
Jews and the Christians. It is the reason that the attention has been drawn
unto their present time.
It is commanded that you have
believed in God Almighty. Spreading His Religion is duty of yours. The same
duty was of the people before you during their times. But they could not
fulfill it. Its first reason was that their learned and effectual people were
entangled in the greediness and involved in selfishness.
When they had turned away from
the world for the duty of the religion, then they were required not to turn
back towards the worldly matters. But they observed: The people have trust in
us and obey our commands, because we are accepted as the scholars of the
religion, so we should receive money and wealth from them as reprisal of
performing such duty.
When the people began to pay
them gifts and oblations, then along with it, they demanded: Tell us
commandments; which are useful and beneficial for us. Their rabbis and monks
beheld: Verily we should give them facilities. There is no loss of us in it; if
their demand is fulfilled and we get away the retaliation as we desire. What
can be better than it? Accordingly, they filled their belly, but could not
establish the Path of God Almighty in the world, and in this manner, the
religion was destroyed.
This evil must not spread in
the Muslims’ brotherhood. It is the duty of the doctors, the spiritual guides
and the scholars of the religion that they should not ruin the religion due to
greediness of the wealth and world, and deliver only those commandments to the
people, which have been prescribed for them in the Religion of Truth.
