Commentary
DiiNillaahi – (the religion of Allah), this word has already been used
earlier many times. Diin means fashion, custom, rites,
observances and a way of life, for instance; that particular manner of thought
and practice, which is foundation of solicitude and view for work, effort and action.
Every community has its own specific ideologies. These ideologies fix his form
of thinking. Then in accordance with them, it moulds its all-social manners of
living, mode and civilization.
The people of
the Scripture had known the news regarding the period of the Last Messenger,
Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) from their
Heavenly Books. Their prophets (peace be upon them) had caused to hear them the
glad tidings that one last prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) will have to come, whose religion will be of international level. When
Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) came, they
knew him well. But due to envy, malice and persistence, they disbelieved in him
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), denied to embrace Islam and
gave the lie.
In these conditions,
the question arises that if these people are not ready to choose the most
perfect and magnificent religion like Islam, then which religion would they
like? Do they seek the religion which would be quite separate from the entire
religions; bestowed by Allah Almighty, or they are desirous of any self
invented religion? Even in the world, Islam (the religion of Peace and
Obedience) remained and will remain always as the religion of Allah Almighty.
That is to say; to bow own head before any Command, whenever it reaches by
means of any Prophet or Messenger (peace be upon him). Today which religion is
being presented by the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him), is the same Islam. Deliverance is not
possible without it. Real success cannot be acquired due to turning away from
it. The humankind should never deny obeying the command of Allah Almighty for
his own happiness and likeness, whether this Command is cause of happiness for
him or he feels compulsion and helplessness in its execution.
Some creatures of
Allah Almighty are those who accept pleasantly the Commands of Allah Almighty
as the Angels (peace be upon them), the pious persons and worshipers, and some
are those who believe by force as deniers of the truth, whereas, satisfaction
of the hearts cannot be acquired without the religion of Allah Almighty.
These entire matters
will be illuminated upon these deniers of the truth, when the entire human
beings will be present before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment. All
creations will have to return there inevitably. Each wise person should be
ready before coming of that Day. If he remained disobedient and involved in the
matters of this world only then which figure will he show there?
