Stray People of the Scripture

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَدَّت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَوْ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ 69

  يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَنتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ 70

69.  A party of the People of the Scripture long to make you go astray. And they make none to go astray except themselves, but they perceive not.         70.  O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve ye in the Revelations of Allah, when ye (yourselves) bear witness (to their truth)?       71.  O People of the Scripture! Why confound ye truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the truth?

69.  Waddat-taaa-‘ifatum-min  ‘Ahlil-Kitaabi  law  yuzil-luuna-kum.  Wa  maa  yuzil-luuna  ‘illaaa  ‘anfusahum  wa  maa  yash-‘uruun.       70.

Commentary

      

In the previous verse, Allah Almighty described, “ ’Allaahu  Waliyyul-  Mu’-miniin” (Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the Believers). In this verse, He commanded: O the People of the Scripture! While Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the Believers, then you cannot deceive them. It is the wish of some People of the Scripture that as they (themselves) went astray, the Muslims should also be misled from the Right Path. But the Muslims will never be entrapped in their deception. However, they have been enhancing in misfortune of their depravity. Harm of these attempts will come up to them, which they do not understand presently.

Then the People of the Scripture have been warned, “Do not deny the Word of Allah Almighty, whereas those Holy Books, in which you have faith, contain the glad tidings about the Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) and the Holy Qur’an to which your hearts understand well. And whenever you are alone, then you accept it. But openly you avoid believing in the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him).

The children of Israel had removed some commands of Torah totally due to worldly greediness, some were concealed and did not use to proclaim about them. For instance; they did not use to mention the glad tidings and predictions regarding the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him). It has been pointed out towards these types of matters that, O the People of the Scripture! Why do you amalgamate true and false? And why do you falsify the true glad tidings? Whereas you know that, these all sayings are quite right.

It seems from these verses that the People of the Scripture keep envy with the Muslims and try always to let them go astray like themselves. For this purpose, they will adopt different schemes for the Muslims; they will conspire and consult secretly against them. But Allah Almighty is the Protecting Guardian of the Believers; He will never let them succeed in their plans.

Prophet Abraham’s Practice

No difference in the religions of Abraham and Muhammad

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

مَا كَانَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا وَلَا نَصْرَانِيًّا وَلَٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفًا مُّسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَمِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ 67

67.  Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the idolaters.      68.  Lo! those of the mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet and those who believe (with him). And Allah is the Protecting Guardian of the believers.

Commentary

      

Haniifan – (an upright man), the person, who goes the right path and leaves all spurious ways, who disconnects his relations from the entire sides and connects only with God Almighty, Who is the Most High (the Worshipped). The Holy Qur’an has named him (peace be upon him) as Haniifam-Muslimaa such blessed name.  

Musliman – (who has surrendered to Allah, origin of Islam, Muslim and tasliim (salutation, complement, admission and accepting) is Salama, which means obedience, subjection and subordination. This Will, salutation, complement, admission, subjection, subordination and accepting is actually real religion. This very manner remained always of the entire Prophets (peace be upon them). Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) enlightened particularly this peculiarity of obedience with his complete dutifulness.

Allah Almighty has described to the people of the Scripture about the Rule of Conduct of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) in this verse. He was a simple Muslim, that is to say; leaving the entire wrong paths, he (peace be upon him) had chosen only one path which leads to Allah Almighty, he was only His obedient. His (peace be upon him) life’s each moment tells that he was a statue of Will, salutation, complement, admission, subjection, subordination and accepting with his perfect obedience. Leaving his wife and newly born son in the barren valley of Arab for obeying the command of Allah Almighty, becoming ready to sacrifice his beloved son Ishmael (peace be upon him) for the cause of Allah Almighty and construction of the House of Allah Almighty in Makkah (The Square Building). These entire things indicate that how much he (peace be upon him) was obedient to Allah Almighty. Absolutely he was not of the idolaters as you are saying today someone son and someone daughter of God Almighty.

Allah Almighty pointed out that either they had more relationship with Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) who believed in Him or this consistency has been bestowed to the Last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be  upon him) and his nation. This nation has more suitableness with Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) in its faith, deeds and name (Muslim). The Prophet, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) of this nation was sent due to the supplications of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), and the teachings of Holy Qur’an are based on these principles.

Commentary

      

The Jews and the Christians (both) used to claim that they were Muslims and they believed in Oneness of God. They were also claimant of the honor and respect of the Prophet and sincere friend of Allah, Abraham (peace be upon him). Each of them used to say that Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) was upon their religion. Which teachings and faith we have, that was same as of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him). That is to say, according to their sayings; Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) was either a Jew or a Christian.

Allah Almighty replied their false beliefs, “As the Jews and the Christians believe in Torah and Gospel, these Scriptures were revealed hundreds of the years after the time of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him). Then how can they say that Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) was either a Jew or a Christian? In fact, which type of Jews and Christians you are; in those meanings even Prophet Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them) cannot be called either Jew or Christian, because you are not even completely on the real religion of those grandeur Messengers (peace be upon them). And if you mean that the Divine Law of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was nearer to your religions, then it is also wrong. How did you know this knowledge? Because neither your Books have any mention about it nor God Almighty has informed you, and nor you can produce any proof about it, if it is not a folly then what is this. – As your quarrel is in a matter, about which you have not any knowledge.

The things about which you had some knowledge, you have quarreled because of them, that is to say; the incidents of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) or glad tidings regarding the last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) etc. But why do you shoot an arrow of conjecture about which you know nothing. Only Allah Almighty is Knower that which religion of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was, which Divine Law is nearer to that today and who is his real successor.

Commentary

      

The Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) commanded to the delegation of Najraan, “’Aslimuu” (Embrace Islam). They said, “’Aslamnaa” (we are Muslims). It is recognized from the dialogue that the Christians also used to claim that they were Muslims, “We are constant upon Islam”. Like this, whenever the people of Scripture were invited for believing the Unity of the Deity, they used to say, “We believe in God also”. In this verse, it has been signified to their claim, “O people of the Scripture! You and we are unanimous in the conception on original faith of Unity (Oneness of God). This faith can make all of us one league, provided that you and we should not change these claims. The only requirement is that as you claim with tongue that you believe in One God, the truth of your claim be proved also by IMPLEMENTING. Believe in His Oneness and ascribe no partner Unto Him really. Surrender yourselves unto Him, Worship none but Allah, and that none of you will attribute others as gods beside Allah. None should be made His son or daughter. Do not include your will in the things, which have been fixed by Him lawful and unlawful. Moreover, you should accept His Commands and make not alteration into them.

But, in spite of believing it, if they reject the Oneness of God, attribute someone partner of Allah Almighty and turn away, then O Muslims! Say to them: O the people of the Scripture! Bear witness that you are such people who are firm on Islam, who have surrendered unto Allah Almighty and who are His obedient.

This verse manifests basic policy of Islam that the Muslims are ready to cooperate with every group in the matters of goodness and good works. If there is any form of non-cooperation with any group, that is only form of sin, rebellion and insurrection. Islam invited also those people of the Scripture who used to oppose it in the beginning, for teaching and preaching about the mutual belief of the Oneness of God to come to an agreement among the both parties.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْقَصَصُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّاٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ 62

62.  Lo! This verily is the true narrative. There is no God save Allah. And lo! Allah, He verily is the Mighty, the Wise.        63.  And if they turn away, then lo! Allah is Aware of (who are) the corrupters.

Commentary

      

‘Al-qasa-sul-haqq – (the true narrative), the word qasas is single noun which means an event, incident, news, a story. Haqq means pure, true and hundred percent correct. ‘Al-qasa-sul-haqq aims – a correct story as well as the true narrative too. The last meanings are advisable presumption here.

Mufsidiina – (the corrupters) its singular is Mufsid, that is to say; the person, who produces confusion, scattering and depravity. He becomes cause of badness and quarrels in spite of peace and rectification.

Invitation of Mubaahilah (accusing each other) was given to the Christians of Najraan on the points, which were described in the Holy Qur’an about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). That is the true mention and Allah Almighty is Pure from all kinds of plurality and the relationship of father (God) and son (Jesus) (I seek refuge in Allah). Neither He is father of anyone, nor any person can be His son, but He is One and Alone. He is the Creator of the entire creatures. None is Worshipped but He. The relationship among Allah Almighty and mankind is “The Worshipped and the slave (worshipper).

Allah verily is the Mighty and the Wise. He will fix up “the true” to the honest, sincere, faithful and genuine, and “the false” to the liar, untrue and the not genuine. He described full of wisdom; resolution of Mubaahilah to His graceful Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for his fidelity, reply of which could not be prepared by the Christians. And they returned duly reconciled. He, the Almighty and the Overcoming God will punish severely to the disbelievers and quarrelsome persons.

Allah Almighty explained that if neither those people listen to the arguments, nor agree for Mubaahilah, then consider it that they are Stubborn and persisting. They do neither intend to understand and nor accept the truth. They do not want to follow the Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Their main aim is to spread dissention and mischief, and to produce the facts in a false form. Then lo! Allah is Aware of those entire persons, who are the corrupters and He will fix up all of them.

We have learnt from this lesson that the facts should not be ignored, when those are proved. The commands of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) should be accepted wholeheartedly while they show the right path. Each person should consider these commands as true and act upon them.

Commentary

      

The Christians of Syria (Najraan), who came to argue and debate with the Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), presented their entire false beliefs. Allah Almighty replied them by means of Holy Qur’an and silenced them.

Even after hearing the clear proofs, those Christians of Najraan did not believe in it and remained firm on their false faith. Allah Almighty commanded to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for establishing Mubaahilah (accusing each other) with them (both groups would have to get together with their families and pray with humble that whosoever from us is liar, invocation would be prayed for his curse and the wrath of God). At its first step, this situation of Mubaahilah will clarify that which the group has really believed in his inner truth and up to which extent. Hearing the invitation of Mubaahilah, the group from Syria (the Christians of Najraan) requested for respite so that they should answer after consultation. When they got together for consultation, then wise persons from them said, “You people have understood in your hearts that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is really a Messenger of God Almighty. He has described clear and decisive words about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), and you also know that Allah Almighty had promised to send His Messenger from the children of Ishmael, and it is possible that He (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) may be that same Messenger. Setting up the Mubaahilah (accusing each other) against any Messenger, can result that none of them (whether those are younger or elder) could be saved from destruction and torment.

After consulting, Syrians (Najraani Christians) attended the court of last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They saw that the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming out with Hassan and Hussain (His daughter’s sons), Fatimah (his daughter) and Ali (his son in law) (may God be pleased with them). Looking upon these luminous faces, their superior Clergyman said, “I am looking such pure faces whose prayer can shake the mountains from their places. Do not ruin yourselves by fixing the Mubaahilah with them.” At last, they decided that they should not to compete. So they returned after reconciling. It has been mentioned in ‘Ahaadith (the Sayings) that the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said, “If those people would have done Mubaahilah (accusing each other), then it would rain such fire upon them that Allah Almighty would subvert the Syria (Najraan).

Commentary

      

Allah Almighty described the entire realities about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) to the Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and commanded, “if the Christians quarrel even then with You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) regarding Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), then you should not care for them. Denier of the sunlight is called blind like this; the denier of the realities is a wretched and an unfortunate”.

The people of Scripture used to quarrel with the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in the matter that Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was not servant of Allah Almighty but was His son. They used to say, “if he (peace be upon him) is not son of God Almighty then you (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) should tell us, whose son He (peace be upon him) was”? Responding them, Allah Almighty said, “Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him) did have neither father nor mother. Therefore, if Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) had not father then what is there to be wonder? Not having by anyone father, it does not mean that he is son of God. Otherwise, like this, the grade of Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him) should be higher than Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) and he (peace be upon him) would have more right to be called as son of God”.

It is the reality that as God Almighty created Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) from the dust, He created Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) from the dust also. Likeness of both of them is the same (peace be upon them). Neither Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was son of God nor Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). After that, Allah Almighty commanded to the last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), “Whatever We described about “Messiah” (peace be upon him), that entire is quite correct. There is no space for doubt in it. You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) should never be from the people who have doubts”.

Illustrating by example of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) as Prophet Adam (peace be upon him), Allah Almighty has proved such clear evidence that no choice of argument remains now in this matter. The Father of entire human beings who (Adam; peace be upon Him) was born in heaven without mother and father, if he (peace be upon Him) is neither God and nor son of God, then one, who is born from the womb of a mother in this world, how can he (peace be upon him) be son of God?
